The Weekend is Coming

And I gotta a lot of work to do. Doesn't seem like I will ever catch up with myself. Seems like I need an assistant. Seems like little of nothing is getting done. Then I look back on where I was this time last year, and I'm so much stronger, so much wiser, so much more. Pursuing the desires of my heart - l'Amore Intimo tops the list - has been the best thing ever.

Have you pursued your dreams today?

Showcase

Today I found a cute portable showcase for the Birthstone Thong Collection. The 12 fit beautifully inside this single bin - not too big, not too small. It does have green handles which can either be painted or left as they are. This is a great case for independent distributors to showcase any of the l'Amore Intimo collections, but first I will use it for my meeting with the board of the charity group we will be sponsoring the event for in November. I'm siked about this worthwhile cause and believe my designs will make a great impression with or without the bin. But it adds a little something.

Something New for October

Not that the original bead strand for October - The Pink Tourmaline Birthstone Thong from l'Amore Intimo wasn't gorgeous enough but because the lingerie is hand-crafted we get to change things up as we grow. My goal is for everyone who orders a l'Amore Intimo to feel they are getting something uniquely beautiful crafted just for them.

A Night at the Observatory

A friend and I trekked to the Griffith Observatory tonight, and I must say GO. If you are in the L.A. area it's worth it. Besides admittance is free. There are special events that you need tickets for but everything else is free. There's a restaurant and a gift store which of course if you want something form these places you need to bring your wallet, but everything is free. I harp on this because my first experience at one of L.A.'s museum was a bit of culture shock to me - a DC girl who grew up on the Smithsonian and the National Zoo, which are free admittance. So to have to pay to enter a museum or a zoo was foreign to me.

Any way. Tonight there where nothing but couples at the observatory. Couples kisses under the stars or gazing through telescopes or holding hands as they made their way through the exhibits. I totally agree this is a good thing - dinner and a nice Sunday drive to the observatory. Economic and romantic. I had fun.

Pulling A Murn

Is there ever a tactful way to point out ignorance? Thinking maybe not. It is what it is. I'm not just rambling on - I'm talking about something so typical it could be overlooked or deemed unimportant. Profiling. You know that goes on in airports more post 911. It also still exist in the workplace. Categorizing someone's talent or abilities by the way they look (be it the color of there skin or appeared age). It's called discrimination and it won't be allowed when I do start hiring at l'Amore Intimo. I experienced the deeming jolt of discrimination and maybe from poor ignorant assumption, this week at the census office. No worries, I handled it by pulling a Murn.

(Murn is a pet name I call my Mother who is a very strong matriarch and business woman - takes no bs from anyone, and if crossed will help the crosser to recognize who she is and that her place in this world is where she wants to be.)

Have You Ever Seen a Rainbow?

Of course you have. You've seen the beauty of the purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. Maybe, just perhaps you've even had fantasies of finding the gold at the end of a rainbow. Today I found the gold when my fabric samples arrived in every color of the rainbow. The fabric is rich and the colors vibrant. The l'Amore Intimo Every Day Rainbow Collection is on its way.

Unlucky in Love

You know the saying "lucky in cards, unlucky in love"? And then there's the version "lucky in business, unlucky in love". What do you believe?

I'm not quite sure that luck and love go together. Seems that too much time and nurturing should go into love and loving, to call it lucky when it works or unlucky when it doesn't. Whatever the statistics may show I believe anything that's worth having is worth the effort that is put into it, but I also believe sometimes when you're looking, and hoping, and waiting for love, that you could fall into something far from it just because.

To experience one great intimacy is worth a million empty desires.
