A Lesson on Joy

Last week, my mom invited me to attend an art exhibit her friend, Jo Checketts, was having at her house this weekend.

After seeing this woman's work (and knowing about her life), I am so glad I went. If you haven't clicked through to her website already (which I highly recommend), a little background: she has traveled all over the world (with just her backpack and tent), and really engulfs herself in different cultures and tribes. It was so fascinating hearing her tell about the people she's met and all that she has learned from them.

I was so touched by the life her photographs take on, that I had to buy one for myself:I hope she doesn't mind that I borrowed it from her website.

My mom told me a little about her life and although I don't feel it is mine to share, I will say she has had some bumps in her road that most people wouldn't come back from. But you would never know it by talking to her. She has a lust for life and is living hers to the fullest. I walked out admiring her. Truth be told, I'm a little envious.

Real or Fake?

Is it just me, or do the models for Brooks Brothers look like Ken dolls?Even after zooming in, I can't be sure. They're handsome Ken dolls, if that's what they were supposed to be. Gotta love a well-dressed man.

P.S. Cool thing about Brooks Brothers website? They teach you how to tie several different tie knots.
