Serendipity

One of the great things about writing a fashion blog is that serendipity can often play an integral part in the creative process. While visiting my family in the Midwest over Christmas, we passed these two Palomino horses and just had to stop and say hi. I was smitten over their long eyelashes and blonde manes and I’m pretty sure they loved my Russian hat, which I borrowed from my mom. Equipped with only an iPhone, we began to play and talk to each other. Soon the word of our galavanting spread, and three curious donkeys, much larger than the Palominos, emerged along with a barn cat. It was our own little party.

With only a few days left in 2014, our barnyard party reminded me to slow down and savor the little serendipitous moments. It reminded me of the power of just being present. I hope that your remaining days in 2014 are filled with quiet moments along with celebratory ones, moments of reflecting on all you’ve accomplished rather than worrying about that to-do list, and love.  Lots and lots of love.
