It's a Tuesday evening and I'm strolling past Rittenhouse Square for a quick run to CVS. I start to see arms all sequenced and reaching for the sky like they could grasp the gray clouds above. Soft music is playing as a soft voice instructs these community members on how to flow, how to breathe and how to unite in the moment of now. <div><br></div><div>I love the heart and soul of this city and this community. The drive for wholeness and self discipline is inspiring. </div><div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghF4VaxD-9elZSewS8DIdqCInizUw8FFM2On3FGmj7xyx2f2odcXvS_S1LTrXoqkBq1Y0qSOWQSYiVAozu9prZnA3JwGFSw_4c6KkynGcokzmFHYmbk8ArY9GsvBDMwAofuqHgOFuRNrTB/s640/blogger-image--499853465.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghF4VaxD-9elZSewS8DIdqCInizUw8FFM2On3FGmj7xyx2f2odcXvS_S1LTrXoqkBq1Y0qSOWQSYiVAozu9prZnA3JwGFSw_4c6KkynGcokzmFHYmbk8ArY9GsvBDMwAofuqHgOFuRNrTB/s640/blogger-image--499853465.jpg"></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Keep shinning Philadelphia ..

Big DragonsI'm ecstatic that we made it. So many events happen in Philadelphia all the time and with busy schedules it's finding the time to attend these events that can be challenging. But I love a challenge!<br />

My lover and biggest fan, MGB, was on board and ready for this evening spectacular. <a href="http://www.historicphiladelphia.org/chineselanternfestival/" target="_blank">The Chinese Lantern Festival </a>was a week away from ending and we took advantage of a pleasant spring evening. <a href="http://www.historicphiladelphia.org/" target="_blank">Franklin Square</a> was hoppin'.. Especially for a Monday evening. Guess everyone had the same idea.. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I couldn't get over the time it must took to assemble everything .. How long it took to craft all of the individual pieces that made up a whole display, character, pin-wheel, tulip, dragon.. I could go on. </div>

I commend all the artists that took a hand in creating these beautiful displays, works of art. Franklin Square was perfect for this event with many pathways leading to new lanterns and ultimately the largest lantern dragon I have ever seen! </div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Most probably think I gave up on this blog..a long time ago. Let's clarify; life just got in the way. Since I write this for fun as much as I wish I was getting paid to write lifestyle fun and findings, I have to hold a real, big girl job! And no it's not a professional traveler as I've been lately dreaming about. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I started working with a floral design company here in Philadelphia. Weddings, events, oh my! As I meet with these anxious, excited, young brides and discuss color palette, textures, ambiance, I can't help to think how lucky I am that I stumbled upon this position. From meeting with these interesting, extravagant and lovely ladies to setting each detail on their day...it's a rush. A rush of excitement, emotion, energy. A moment in life where time seems to speed up and slow down at the same time. Being able to create visions and dreams into reality is an indescribable feeling. To experiment with design..where ever your creative mind might wonder. It's an art. A fashion. A passion. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In between these roses, hydrangeas, ranunculus, and more I have been focusing on strength. On core balance. On positive energy. Running has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From running track and cross country to sprinting soccer fields at the age of 5... Running is in my blood. I never thought decades later I'd be training for 10Ks, 10 milers and half marathons. The persistence, the patience, the endurance I have gained has not only taught me as I run races but also has proved true in my relationships as well as the brides I have met. Each day I continue to grow stronger. Physically and mentally. As my feet hit the payment I focus on my breath. Steady. Slow. A technique I once learned from my asthma doctor, belly breathing. This technique, in through the nose out through the mouth, slow..slower. Focusing and maintaining this breath came much easier after many yoga classes of tears, blood and sweat. Maybe not blood, but it was sure flowin! Ok maybe not tears either but definitely sweat. In and out through the nose became my best friend. Listening to your own breath, hearing your breath deep from within, stabilizes all else. The mind, body and soul. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I won't say I mastered this, yet. As I feel you can always improve, but I will say I have found my strength, through my breath. This concept has also slowed and steadied my average day to day life. Notice the small things, smell the autumn air, hold a door for a stranger, say hello to your neighbor. These small gestures prove to return the good karma. I appreciate my life, my body and my health more than ever. Our health is everything and we have the choice to be healthy or not. To be strong or weak. To be negative or positive. So I'd like to start anew. I'd like to share with you more strength and energy. For now, let's catch up on the last year. Sit back and enjoy these moments of flowers, mountains, lakes, family, city views, races and more... </span></div>

That's right. Life and/or time just needs to slow down. Two months pass and I cannot find a decent excuse for two months absence, after all it was an exhilarating two months! On the other hand, where did two months go? </div>

Well, it went from weddings to dinners to runs to airplane rides. Fashion and tea following Irish culture to art, it was the smoothest sip of Jameson to my lips while taking in the rolling fields of green to my right and the Atlantic to my left. </div>

I designed the hand held bouquets and boutonnieres for my older sisters wedding. Gorgeous callas, the cream of the crop! A gorgeous venue with a stellar view..</div>

Back to planning for two weeks. This felt more like a breath.. Maybe two. Before I knew it I was boarding a flight, destination Dublin. My younger sister is studying there for a semester, I envy her! My mothers first trip abroad went well. Even though her washcloths were not of custom, I think she enjoy all the natural and organic foods! Now all the walking that was entailed might be a different story. </div>

Recently <a href="http://livelovephilly.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">LiveLovePhilly</a> has kept me on my toes... with not enough time that I would like to give my calves a rest. This area has opened my eyes and experience in an area unknown. Along the way I have captured some interesting photography, met some fine individuals and keep asking myself where to next in this intriguing field?! </div>

New England called me home as I wrapped up some details for my sisters big day the end of this month. Cannot believe it's this month!!! A nice step away from the city lights to relax, soak in some sunshine, hang with the family and admire the star speckled night sky. I was happy to see the seeds I gave my mom from the <a href="http://theflowershow.com/" target="_blank">Philadelphia Flower Show</a> had started to bloom. A lone sunflower showed its young, yellow petals. </div>

Philadelphia has many cuisines. What does your palette crave? You can find it! From burgers, seafood, vegan and italian you may be overwhelmed with the choices. MGB and myself particularly enjoy the dry rub wings at <a href="http://www.devilsalleybarandgrill.com/" target="_blank">Devils Alley</a>. Paired with a 'special' of $2 domestic canned beers.. pumpkin's been on my brain. Dry rub to burgers.. we indulged! </div>

More recently we enjoyed dining at <a href="http://www.morimotorestaurant.com/" target="_blank">Morimoto</a>. A delectable plate with an exquisite decor. We like to share so we typically get several plates and share everything. I cannot say I had a bad dish. Each was platted and portioned perfectly. Cooked to perfection! This upstairs lounge area is quite superb! </div>

<a href="http://phi.wanderlustfestival.com/" target="_blank">Wanderlust Festival</a> was on Saturday at The Piazza in Northern Liberties. What an amazing community turn out. A one day, free yoga block party for all ages. Guided sessions by some of the most influential instructors created a wave of energy, encouragement and inspiration. After partaking in a long training run for the <a href="http://runrocknroll.competitor.com/philadelphia" target="_blank">Rock n Roll Half Marathon</a> this Sunday, a nice warm stretch was just the ticket. Looking forward to 13.1 on Sunday.. and maybe more for the carb overload on Saturday! </div>

We find the candle glassware.</div><div>Nice surprise of 50% off the $1.00 price tag. We start loading two dozen into the cart. We find an pack of ivory colored non scented candles an stock up. Next I'm thinking shimmer, shine! I find some fine gold glitter and pick up some spray adhesive. Next I make my way to the floral department. Again find some vases 50% off their $3.00 price tag. I pick up some gold glass stones to fill the bottom half. </div><div><br></div><div>Off for florals. I decide to check out stop and shop .. i figure this would help the budget rather than a private florist. I see they have some light purple 'blue moon' spray roses. I also notice that they are very open. Pretty much on their last couple days. I use this to my advantage. Since Im buying the remaining packages of what they will throw away in a day, I inquire if I can receive a discount. Absolutely can, 50% at that. </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCI0uyBnyM21eeEkOE1wUQQObNF6KJP2Q0q016qsCkQ_7CpUJhCRn8I4WaQI7d5qx3cf6i80KOIPbCAPbrSUCygrSdNiDbqLymWf6qw5XGx6OCp_Ekg6Mx-wHjIkfHKSGEM2V9Zos_r4ii/s640/blogger-image--1153051225.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCI0uyBnyM21eeEkOE1wUQQObNF6KJP2Q0q016qsCkQ_7CpUJhCRn8I4WaQI7d5qx3cf6i80KOIPbCAPbrSUCygrSdNiDbqLymWf6qw5XGx6OCp_Ekg6Mx-wHjIkfHKSGEM2V9Zos_r4ii/s640/blogger-image--1153051225.jpg"></a></div></div><div><br></div><div>Spray small candle jars with adhesive spray on the outside only.

A problem solver? Maybe, more so I just enjoy pushing the envelope . My first creation; home made granola. Since two years old I've had a peanut allergy. Oh, not only peanuts but almonds, cashews, pecans... Damn tree nuts! Do you know how hard it is to find granola without?! Now I realize you can, but the amount you spend for what you get drives me bonkers! Also, making my own food is rewarding while I know exactly what's in it making it how I want. <div><br></div><div>My mission to Whole Foods was a success. Oats, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and soybeans. About 2 handfuls of each and $3 later, you can't beat it. I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but after adding some wheat germ and dried fruit it's a plentiful amount. </div><div><br></div><div>To start, I roasted the raw soybeans.</div><div><div>I first soaked them overnight (8-10 hours) in a large bowl, big enough so it can hold the beans when expanded. One cup raw soybeans expands to about two cups. </div><div><br></div><div>After they have soaked, drain and rinse the soybeans. Dry them, whether with a fan or towel. Spread them on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 for about 15 and then flip them. Repeat this every 10 minutes for the next 20-25 minutes. Ovens vary so keep an eye on your beans! You want them golden brown.. Undercooking leaves them chewy. Once out of the oven I sprinkled some Cajun seasoning and olive oil while still hot. Let cool completely . </div><div><br></div><div>Here's the ingredients I used for my home made <b>granola</b>: </div><div>Rolled oats </div><div>Sunflower seeds</div><div>Pumpkin seeds </div><div>Roasted soybeans </div><div>Wheat germ </div><div>Cinnamon</div><div>Vanilla extract</div><div>Salt</div><div>Honey</div><div>Apple juice </div><div>Brown sugar</div><div>Olive oil</div><div><br></div><div>Heat oil, honey, juice, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla to a light boil. Pour this over the dried oats and seeds. I did not include the soybeans in this preparation. I added these in at the end. Spread on baking sheet and bake at 325 for approximately 35-40 minutes. After the first 20 minutes stir the granola. Cool completely before adding any dried fruits of preferred. This is where I added my roasted soybeans! </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUwCgK1rwSlIQaxb4OAIBpHac5CWngVIaLWMJyLO0kTQOH4vPHz4V0n6RlygGsDF98glOwCvwjdE8Qt_2tdLCYbgDZhCLNnyk75lrd60eJDXTESEbA3UQ7TXExQinTAlVJ9V4sbPlycEfL/s640/blogger-image-1510342618.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUwCgK1rwSlIQaxb4OAIBpHac5CWngVIaLWMJyLO0kTQOH4vPHz4V0n6RlygGsDF98glOwCvwjdE8Qt_2tdLCYbgDZhCLNnyk75lrd60eJDXTESEbA3UQ7TXExQinTAlVJ9V4sbPlycEfL/s640/blogger-image-1510342618.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEE713KM5M_67dZQuQ3HRpVRbsQtGP_to_NsUJz6dq8u-h9_YBYKg5ZW9BxKQg0LhKmi37zGcA722yjICOZRWcrD9MFKNJnAjVRJaq4P3_pdBcHjnHIBY-9GGDPvNV6je2EiWDkysJb-EO/s640/blogger-image--1830966673.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEE713KM5M_67dZQuQ3HRpVRbsQtGP_to_NsUJz6dq8u-h9_YBYKg5ZW9BxKQg0LhKmi37zGcA722yjICOZRWcrD9MFKNJnAjVRJaq4P3_pdBcHjnHIBY-9GGDPvNV6je2EiWDkysJb-EO/s640/blogger-image--1830966673.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDI6AtKvgprXoORXjqOI0n6W5CCpydHW7I2nO5wDeAFsgjykXoR3LoB5iDRt7SDwMxP22N52O3mmgHvoxueP13pvcX_-OgFrnY4US6Lb3f-hB3uazHjOl0YaoOxvNYf-8FK8-id9e75Jgs/s640/blogger-image-1637045604.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDI6AtKvgprXoORXjqOI0n6W5CCpydHW7I2nO5wDeAFsgjykXoR3LoB5iDRt7SDwMxP22N52O3mmgHvoxueP13pvcX_-OgFrnY4US6Lb3f-hB3uazHjOl0YaoOxvNYf-8FK8-id9e75Jgs/s640/blogger-image-1637045604.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>The one thing I will say is do not coat or spray your pan..

I have spoke of friends, loved ones and acquaintances bringing us inspiration and confidence to push forward. I want to touch again on the importance of family and our heritage. We often take for granted the time spent with grandparents, parents and siblings. We often forget that these are the people that know us best. These are the individuals who have our back through thick and thin. We hear stories of history, how it used to be and how we came to be a family. Our roots are strong. They hold us tight and have us stand tall for the world. Times are forever changing and with the times we are growing stronger and more confident each day.</font></p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.625em; "><a href="http://www.ashleyherrin.com/" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none; font-style: inherit; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font color="#000000"><img src="http://careerwardrobe.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/image1-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); font-style: inherit; padding: 6px; margin: 0.4em auto 1.625em; display: block; clear: both; max-width: 1536px; "></font></a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.625em; "><font style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">We often forget that our families may have struggled and fought for our independence and freedom. Our grandparents and parents may have traveled thousands of miles to provide a better life for us. They may have worked hard each day of their lives to provide warmth, food and a roof over our head. My grandfather was a Nebraska farmer his entire life. Family acres and property dating back to the 1880s, traveling with bricks and building materials by horse and buggy. He was the hardest worker I know. Through the hot summer days into the blizzards of winter, he awoke at 4am each day to feed his animals. He traveled thousands of miles through the fields to plant and harvest his crops. He provided for his family. He gave strength, love and wisdom to all he knew. This is motivation.</font></p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.625em; "><a href="http://www.ashleyherrin.com/" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none; font-style: inherit; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font color="#000000"><img src="http://careerwardrobe.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/image-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); font-style: inherit; padding: 6px; margin: 0.4em auto 1.625em; display: block; clear: both; max-width: 1536px; "></font></a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.625em; "><font style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">My great grandfather was a farmer, and so was his dad. By tradition passed down, my uncle and cousins have now taken his role. They are following his path, his routes, his miles. They cover these fields in his footsteps. Our family is the most important thing we have. Its a gift, a treasure, a pot of gold. Its the roots to our trunk. We have their eyes, we have their smile. We have their love and persistence. In the end, our family is there. Through long nights, long days, they support us when no one else does. They comfort us in our times of need. They pick us up when we fall. Their hard work and dedication motivates and inspires us to step forward, and stick up for what we believe in. Family is the most important thing we have. We were born with it. Inspiration to stand tall and let our branches touch the lives of others. I am thankful for such a loving and caring family. I am motivated by my grandfathers hard farming work, day in and day out. I am inspired by the strength our family, our roots give us.</font></p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.625em; "><a href="http://www.ashleyherrin.com/" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none; font-style: inherit; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font color="#000000"><img src="http://careerwardrobe.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/image2-300x198.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="198" style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); font-style: inherit; padding: 6px; margin: 0.4em auto 1.625em; display: block; clear: both; max-width: 1536px; "></font></a></p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.625em; "><font style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">In celebration of life, of family, of love, please don't forget to hug the ones closest to you. Never forget to tell them how much you love them and how much you appreciate their hard work for your freedom. Be inspired by your own family to do better for the world and for the family you create. In the end, its not about the dollar you made or the job you left behind, its about your values and your family. Its about being there, listening, understanding and learning from our past, our history.</font></p><p style="margin-bottom: 1.625em; "><a href="http://www.ashleyherrin.com/" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none; font-style: inherit; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font color="#000000"><img src="http://careerwardrobe.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/image3-300x198.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="198" style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); font-style: inherit; padding: 6px; margin: 0.4em auto 1.625em; display: block; clear: both; max-width: 1536px; "></font></a></p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17208765783432053922noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448023738979462276.post-60205125388044838372013-06-07T12:39:00.001-04:002013-06-07T12:39:44.977-04:00It has been waaaayyyy too long.... <div style="color: #909090; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1.625em;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What have I been up to?! If you have been keeping tabs-- I have been blogging with Career Wardrobe. Well, a night out on the town and this is your event recap. Enjoy :) </span></div>
<div style="color: #909090; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1.625em;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This past Wednesday <a data-mce-href="http://careerwardrobe.org/" href="http://careerwardrobe.org/" style="color: #f15a23; font-style: inherit; text-decoration: none;">Career Wardrobe</a> put on their annual A Perfect Fit Event at the Crystal Tea Room in Philadelphia. This event raised thousands of dollars to help benefit the women in need and transition in Philadelphia. This event wouldn't have been a success without your help. A big shout out to all the volunteers who participated as well as all the attendees. All of your hard work and helping hands played a crucial role in the success of this event. A shout out to all of the Career Wardrobe board representatives, what magnificent and inspiring women that made this possible.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Between the silent auction, raffle, fashion show and savory sweets, everyone seemed to be sharing a similar goal; to help others in our community succeed with a smile. Through the resources and networking opportunities that Career Wardrobe gives, these ladies had the chance to share their stories of their suit. They were motivated to share and inspire others that they too can be confident and successful to better their lives as well as their families.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A special woman in particular, Kathleen Wilkinson, <span data-mce-style="line-height: 1.7;" style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: 1.7;">was honored with the 2013 Fashioning Futures for Women Award. Kathleen shared a fascinating and motivating story of how she became the woman she is today. Through her family migrating to America, working her way through college, focusing on education and family, while pushing forward to become an attorney, Kathleen was moved by women in transition and knew she wanted to base her career on helping other women succeed. She found this possible through family support, dedication and hard work. She gained inspiration from her parents as well as films and fashion. With her motivation and confidence Kathleen is now one of six females to be named Chancellor of the Philadelphia Bar Association. Way to go Kathleen!!!</span></span></div>

Thank you to all the supporters who donated goods for our silent auction and thank you to all the generous bidders who came out and participated.</span></div>

Where have I been lately?! If you are used to reading about my adventures and new found recipes I'm sure you are wondering where has she fallen off to? Well, I recently started some side blogging for <a href="http://careerwardrobe.org/" target="_blank">Career Wardrobe</a>. A non-profit organization in Philadelphia that helps women get back on their feet through resources such as educational workshops, resumes reviews and styling assistance for the professional workplace. Career Wardrobe has been around since 1995 and have helped nearly <a href="http://careerwardrobe.org/about-us/" target="_blank">75,000 women</a> on their journey to independence and confidence. Career Wardrobe gives women in need or hardship the support in employment to be successful as what they chose. This has been the most gratifying part time blogging gig I have ever participated in. I don't do it for cash. In fact, that wasn't even an initial question when starting this. I do it to educate our community, motivate women to give back and inform Philadelphia that there are ways to contribute to make a difference in people's lives. I do this because I feel passionate about being an independent, working woman in Philadelphia. I feel passionate about the educational workshops they provide to lead women out in the world to get their dream job. Every woman should have the confidence to stand tall, feel amazing and be successful at what they chose. Being a young woman myself, on my own for the last 9 years I can honestly say it has been a roller coaster. In my mid-20's I have traveled city to city, I have held multiple jobs and I am still finding my path to success. Knowing there are organizations and services out there that can help women in need with anything from a new interview suit to resume writing gives peace of mind to thousands of women who are struggling to put food on the table. </div>

Soft petals, wild shrubs, The Yellow Submarine and Big Ben all made an appearance at the Britain Flower Show in Philadelphia, 2013. As always, Philadelphia attracts quite the crowd when spring rolls around. The Convention Center holds several events that continue to grow and advance in design and attraction. From gowns, hats, shoes and bags, Britain fashion and florals was the heart of inspiration. Orchids galore.. The Secret Garden was impressive. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Compared to last year and years previous, I saw the most greenery yet. From cacti to ferns.. The wild flower look and phrase will not leave my lips. This is Britain! I have to say the worst part of it all is the unstructured, unorganized, huge crowd that forms. These crowds almost create more of a displeasure when trying to see each display or art piece. Some I imagine would have very high anxiety with these crowds. I feel maybe there should be an organized way to send people through the exhibits/displays. Personal opinion only! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All in all I am not disappointed! As always, these events benefit the city of Philadelphia, the city in which I live and love. From food to school to fashion to beer, this city has endless options. Events such as the flower show create an amazing attraction for individuals all over the world to travel, experience and enjoy. </div>

Travel. Sunsets. Snow. Blue Skies. Tunes. Soft Powder. Open Trails. Just some of the many things I love through the winter months and all year long. I love exploring new terrain with breathtaking views. This past weekend I ventured north. So far north that another 15 miles would land us at the border of Canada. Jay Peak is an East Coast mountain that does not disappoint any snow lover. With wide trails, fresh powder glades and the tram that takes you 3,968 feet in 6.5 minutes you cant beat this ride. With 77 trails, its hard not to have an amazing day on the slopes. I may have found my new love. Although, I have been to several East Coast mountains, mainly in NH, this one has topped my books. Maybe because we had ideal conditions for a February day or maybe because of their fresh snow fall and beaming sun rays. Maybe because I was with my heart throb, doing exactly what we love, together. I am so thankful and blessed for this life I live. Always an adventure that leaves my mind wanting to learn more, my body craving more thrill and my love for travel growing with every view.<br />

"<i>PUTTING AMERICA BACK TO WORK</i>." -Career Wardrobe</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you have been following my whirlwind of events and travels over last year, Thank You! I hope 2013 has brought you a refreshed frame of mind and attitude. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My 2013 has started off to be thrilling, mind awakening and community involving. I recently had the opportunity to talk more with <a href="http://careerwardrobe.org/" target="_blank">Career Wardrobe</a> here in Philadelphia. I have previously worked with them to help promote their event last May, "<a href="http://www.yurtake.com/2012/05/women-find-their-way.html#.UQaAh79ZXEk" target="_blank">A Perfect Fit</a>". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year brings new challenges and new awareness. The <a href="http://careerwardrobe.org/" target="_blank">Career Wardrob</a>e strives to provide resources, education and clothing to all women in Philadelphia looking to get on their feet and in their dream career. With the right education and resources 'we' can get anywhere! More often than not we are judged as soon as we step in for the first interview. Looked up and down, "are they dressed appropriate?", asked a range of questions, "are they knowledgeable?", and scrutinized on each response, "do they have the confidence and right attitude?" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More often than not, what we wear drives our confidence. If you look good, you feel good. If your suit fits, your confidence radiates. So, being more than appropriate, Career Wardrobe has started their next challenge. To raise awareness all over the nation, <a href="http://www.crowdrise.com/careerwardrobe-jr/fundraiser/careerwardrobe" target="_blank">The Job Raising Challenge</a>. This challenge is based on YOUR stories and your donations. About 75 groups across the country will be competing in this challenge. The winner receives $250,000 and public recognition on <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/career-wardrobe/" target="_blank">The Huffington Post</a>. This challenge has already started and will continue through March 1st. So how do you help Career Wardrobe win??! Share your story, share this challenge with friends and help by making a donation. </div>

A craze and love filled couple weeks. Family moments of laughter and joy while snowflakes make for a welcoming and warming Christmas morning. Every year seems to creep up so fast while the clicking clock seems to raise anxiety and stress among some, for me it continues to zoom by faster and faster. The daylight seems to fade and dinner is served. A tender. juicy roast beef is the main course of our 2012 dinner. Cooked perfect and served with your choice of sides no one left hungry. If anything, maybe they found themselves in a food coma. From drinks to pies all had their indulgence of sweets and savors. <br />
<br />
For a creative gift idea this year for all the lovely ladies I know I decided to share the sweetness of the holidays with a chocolate and candy chunk cookie mixture. Layered and displayed decoratively in mason jars. A seasonal hangtag with ingredients to add and instructions and walaah! A fun and cute gift that they will actually use! <br />
<br />
After the holiday came and went I traveled a circle of roads back to New England. One of the largest storms VT has seen in some time, this brought fresh powder and thrills for my passion of riding. We rode Killington Mountain for three days. Being from New England I have not seen snow like this in quite some time. No complaints! We spent the last day of 2012 on the slopes, indulging in the fresh nature wave of white, soft snow. With MGB, great conditions, and on a board. No where else Id rather be. <br />
<br />
From snow covered mountains, to open roads and back to noisy city streets, this world is filled with adventures and activities that fill our lives with rich experiences and cherishing memories. Often these times go so quickly we forget to stop and savor the magnificent view of life right in front of us. I treasure my view and the love we share. I treasure all these moments whether with family or friends that create such lasting smiles. <br />
<br />
We even helped out some neighboring parks in the area and recycled our Christmas tree. It was a great idea. Anything to help the environment and community. Go green! <br />
<br />
HAPPY 2013!! I hope you all had a lasting and memorable holiday and new year. This year will be one for the books! <br />

I thought I would take this time to say... suckers!!!! Do you really think the world is going to end?? Well, don't worry because in 9 more days you can re-evaluate. 12/12/12 sure proved to be a lucky day for this lady. New beginnings, as I have mentioned before are really just the end of an old book and the beginning of a new novel. New lights, new spaces and new fabrics.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This December sure hasn't brought the chill yet. Never-the-less Philadelphia is festive with lights, events, holiday displays and Santa hats bobbing up and down city streets. From the<a href="http://www.wanamakerorgan.com/xmas.php" target="_blank"> Macy's Christmas Light Show</a> to the <a href="http://www.readingterminalmarket.org/" target="_blank">Reading Terminal Market</a> there are activities and displays to be seen by the whole family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are in the spirit this year and decorated with a perfectly shaped, massive, 8 foot tree. Strung some lights, hung some ornaments (which we need more, this tree is engulfing our current ones) and topped it with our quirky, shimmering roof, little birdhouse. I am still waiting for the koo-koo bird to peek out. Accompanying our new tree and pine scented apartment we spotted this <a href="http://www.yankeecandle.co.uk/invt/1249712e" target="_blank">Yankee</a> (side note: when searching online I could only find this scent through the UK website, although this was purchased from Target). A scent I have not seen, but surprisingly soft and calming. I think we liked the name of the candle better than the candle itself. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Between decorations and smell of Xmas wafting in the air we enjoyed some city supporting basketball. A group of friends, a steal of a deal on tickets and some red and green jerseys. 76ers played the Celtics. Now, being from New England you may be confused to which team I am supporting here. After my love for Philadelphia and 7 years later, the only ounce of New England I still carry lays on the football field at Gillette Stadium. Life long, till I die, type of Patriots fan. Seeing the 76ers win this game in overtime was a sight. Possibly the best 76ers game I have been to! </div>

<span style="text-align: start;">Exploring the city, jumping over rain puddles, we ended at Dirty Franks. A known Philadelphia bar, Cash Only. I finally experienced the thrill of Dirty Franks. Two bathrooms; one that locks, one that </span><span style="text-align: start;">doesn't. T</span><span style="text-align: start;">he gentleman at the door tells me I am more than welcome to take my chances with the door that </span><span style="text-align: start;">doesn't</span><span style="text-align: start;"> lock... thanks bud. Clutter fills the walls, ornaments and oddities hang from the ceiling, and the bar tender who is about 40 looks like shes wearing a shirt I had in 3rd grade. Oh and as the sign warns, 'Beware of the Bartender'. Yep. THIS is Dirty Franks. I </span><span style="text-align: start;">don't</span><span style="text-align: start;"> </span><span style="text-align: start;">discriminate</span><span style="text-align: start;"> though, every adventure an </span><span style="text-align: start;">experience</span><span style="text-align: start;">! </span><br />

<span style="text-align: start;">From there we went on to enjoy the festive lights ourselves with family. Making sure to stop at Reading Terminal to see the massive train display they set up. These kids were memorized and Thomas the Tank is still running strong after all these years. From there we caught the Macy's Christmas Light Show, which is such an attraction for all visitors in Philadelphia. You would think you were at a theater waiting for a show to begin. A must see! </span></div>

Family. Friends. Love. Warmth. 'Tis the time of year, get up, shout, celebrate with cheer! Through the end of November, through captivating sunsets and the ring of shot guns this proved to be an invigorating and successful Nebraska trip. Cousin time is essential when such miles keep us apart. The games, the adventures, the laughs that are priceless in my book.<br /><br /></div>

Treasuring the moments when their eyes are wide and bright. When he is so focused on telling you that story, despite the time zone he may be in. I am thankful for these outstanding days. These days that leave that lasting picture in my head. His looks, words and motions are not what anyone expected this time around. Alzheimer patients usually do not move forward but regress. My grandfather has fought this battle for more than 7 years now. I cannot explain the side of him we saw this trip back to NE. Alert, focused, bright, warm. He was intent on telling us his stories. I have not heard him talk this much in 3 years. He looked me dead in the eye. He motioned with his hands. Oh how I would kill to travel his thoughts and see what year he is in. He knew we were family. He knew we were there. And darn it all, he knows his full name! It's a horrible disease, most affecting the family and loved ones around. I know how hard it is for some of my family to continually see him like this. Although I am soooooo thankful that they are that close and love and care for him so much. My uncle is surely god sent. He is an angel in disguise. Often I feel my mother and uncle have this touch of life and love. Without them my family would be oh so different.</div>

Every chance I get to visit I take. Despite the time of year. Despite how long. These are the days to cherish and love who you still have. Family are your roots. Where you got that smile. Where those blue eyes came from. Please take time this holiday season to show your appreciation for the ones who brought you here. The ones that made it possible for you to walk out the front door, take a breath of fresh air and be thankful you are here today. Experiences along the way shape us, for sure, but if we didn't have roots, where would we grow from? Where would these traits come from? Please show love and respect to each one you meet, as you may never know what bridge they have crossed to get onto their feet. Cherish each other and savor the day. I hope you have enjoyed my pictures from NE travels, sunsets and the beginning of December in the city. </div>

Thankful for family. The most important aspect of giving thanks. No matter the miles that lay between us. The time spent here is priceless. From city streets to corn fields I am thankful in many ways. Through all of our senses we can truly appreciate the glowing Autumn leaves that shine against the bright blue sky. The steps we take that are cluttered with colorful sidewalks. The after-hours excitement of music and soul. The view of a pup that can only put a smile on your face. </div>
