the ‘O’

Posted by January 15, 2011No comments

…just like Alice fell through a hole and ended up in Wonderland… 
One day WE walked into a community art center and were granted creative freedom.
Ok – so it wasn’t THAT easy… (not to mention if I see the Cheshire cat in one of the trees on the site I may pass out)…but the entire process has been so fluid so far I have no choice BUT to go with the flow.
The Overbrook Arts Center ( or the ‘O’ as we like to call it…)

http://www.overbrookartcenter.org/

“On our way to Wonderful… Is a place called Alright”
 … That’s the tag line for the center and its actually painted on the facade of the building.
Just think about it. 
(On your way to wonderful…)
We are constantly yearning. hoping. praying. for something wonderful. 
But wonderful may not be tangible – right now.
The wonderful that you envision may not even be the best thing for you – but you think about it all the time. You may even dream about it tonight. 
The wonderful that you have concocted in your head may never manifest and ultimately you should understand that God has another plan for you and it is most likely MORE wonderful than you could have ever imagined.
But what about the Now? This ‘place’ that I am in NOW?
I mean – it’s alright, right?
..of course it is… we just need to slow down and actually remember that :)
WE are only at the beginning stages of the re-branding process for the center, but I know and I BELIEVE that this is going to manifest into something great! 
Here are a couple of the flyers WE did for the Open House Event – featuring the NEW logo and brand… 
(I think they came out Alright.)

A New Year (means) New Beginnings…

This was quite an interesting year.
…AND it really all started after that large tree in front of my house fell down from that ridiculous snow storm in February.
There is something to be said about how you really need to let things go – or you need to ‘make space’ to allow for new opportunities and blessings.
The funny part is that I was told to cut that tree down a few years ago – in order to get my roof fixed…
Of course I protested…
Needless to say – I think I prolonged the inevitable so long that God took the tree down for me. Since then I can not tell you how much natural light has been pouring into my house…It’s incredible.
AND not to mention that that particular tree was located directly in my “mentors and helpful people” sector of my house (with regards to Feng Shui)
…let me tell you. I am now a true believer.
This year has brought so many ups and downs.
Losses and gains.
Struggles and uncertainties.
Sadness and anger.
BUT.
It has also brought to me an army of angels that have manifested clearly out of no where. 
Some came in the form of business / client relationships morphing into incredible collaborations and friendships…
Some came in the form of old friends that I have finally been able to connect with on various levels.
Others came to me through connections through friends and associates that can only be described as nothing less than divine intervention.
I just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone that has helped me to become stronger and even more driven to reach my goals. Our relationships are JUST beginning and I can not wait to see what 2011 will bring to us ALL…
I wish you all Peace and Prosperity in the NEW Year :)

I AM BECAUSE WE ARE.

This past year has been an exercise in stepping out of my comfort zone and as a result I have had the most incredible experiences and opportunities. (Some of which I could have never even imagined.)

One thing that has really resonated with me – is the fact that you can not accomplish everything on your own AND in order to become what you want to be (if you even know what that is…) you need to circle back to the simple concept of human connections.

Ubuntu (oo-BOON-too) is an ethical concept of African origin that focuses primarily on our relationships with each other. It teaches us that teamwork and collaboration has the power to reshape our workplaces and our relationships with our co-workers.
I plan on making Ubuntu infectious in 2011.

“In Africa there is a concept known as Ubuntu – the profound sense that we are human only through the humanity of others; that if we are to accomplish anything in this world, it will in equal measure be due to the work and achievements of others.”

- Nelson Mandela
