Cold, Tundra Days & Sunny Dreams

If you are anywhere near the SLC area you will know that it has been ICY, FRIGID, SUB-ARCTIC, TUNDRA-ESQUE lately!

The days are cold and the nights are colder.
My car is covered in dirt, icicles, brown snow balls around my tires and SALT – a literal ton of salt!
It feels so easy to slip into a gloomy haze to match the dirty haze perpetuated and smudged by my hopeless windshield wipers.

-BUT I WILL NOT SURRENDER-

I spent the evening in … ultra, super “in”
You know the kind of “in” where you are glad to be alone with your super cushy, hot pink, kozeee, warm socks, hair a mess, leftover makeup looking worst of all? It can be a beautiful thing!
Cleaning through the left over details of my move a couple of months ago.. surrounded by the heaping carnage of papers-bills-contracts-unpaid parking tickets, business plans, proposals, budgets, concepts and articles I’ve pulled out my laptop to write.

My most true dreams lie in business outlines written years ago among this rubble heap of corporate headaches. My dream of providing women all over the country with the affordable opportunity to find their “inner swan” still allures me. The dream of owning a fashion design empire is still tangible as ever.  I am a little bit sad that the past few years haven’t gone “as planned.” BUT – they don’t and never will.
I am comforted to know these dreams are still alive as I pick up the pieces of my business proposals and designs that once consumed my 19 year old, naive, girl thoughts and place them in organized folders.  It feels like taking care of a dear, sick, fragile, tender sibling… I am happy.

The future looks sunny as long as I choose to believe so.

… and I ALWAYS will 🙂
