Marrakech: and a sparkly, glamorous tale

 I am convinced, truly, that most things can be made better with the addition of sequins. On that note, look at what my clients have done with their beautiful Moroccan wedding blankets.

Justine used them as an accessory for her wedding.  (Can you imagine?  Gorgeous!)  And now they're still being used, including for props:-)

And look at this amazing headboard that Sara made.  It makes the whole room! (I have a headboard, too, made out of a wedding blanket at Peacock Pavilions.)

Marrakech: and a tale of the To Do list that got away

I feel like I am always chasing,

                        chasing the man in the Moroccan red jellaba.

Sometimes I almost catch up.

But then he gets ahead of me.  

        Far far ahead of me.  

                                                Again.

So much to do.  Oh, so much to do.

Marrakech: and a tale of adding hours

You know when you've had a really good weekend?  The kind where it's a weekend like others -- only 48 hours -- but yet, it feels as if it were longer somehow?  Like extra hours slipped in?  Like you managed to manipulate time in some curious Madeleine l'Engel way?

{Oh, why am I explaining?  I know you know what I mean.}

What I'm trying to say is that I want one of those sorts of weekends.  And I want one for you, too.  I think the key is to not let it rush by in some kind of blur.  But rather to savor it, to chew it slowly, to appreciate each moment and to say to yourself {often} Oh! I'm here right now!   And then be in it, really in it.

Because, after all, life is not just planning for the future.  It's where we are right now.
