I’ve always been struck by the beauty and poise of Geishas in Japan. I’m fascinated by the beautiful kimonos, the delicacy and passion of the arts. Although I’m not Japanese I’ve always secretly dreamed of being a Geisha in Kyoto.
One day I will travel to Kyoto and hope to see a glimmer of this secret world that I wish to be apart of.

The reason I love the blogging world is because of the little morsels of happiness that I find. I recently read this post from Mocking Bird and was immediately connected to Amanda’s words. This year has been incredibly challenging for us and to be quite honest, I cannot wait for a fresh start in 2011.
Amanda’s post was in response to an amazing online project, Reverb10. Here are her thoughts.
…“December 4- Wonder
How did you cultivate a sense of wonder in your life this year?
It may seem hokey but I try to cultivate a sense of wonder in my life and the people’s lives around me every day. It’s what this blog is about. On the surface it may seem sweet and full of saccharinity to the Nth degree but when you seriously look at the world, our lives are tough. Most of us spend our time battling with problems and hearing about the far greater problems of those in need around the world. Life in its everyday normalcy is a freakin hard mess yet despite all that, finding a sense of wonder in the everyday is sometimes the only thing that may keep us going.”
Everyday, Reverb 10 will post a topic, question or comment and they ask bloggers to respond with their thoughts. This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for. What a therapeutic process to heal all of sadness created from 2010. I will be starting today!
