supergirl

She's the girl in two worlds. Outside the glass, but wholeheartedly believing she's inside the tank. A three foot tall testament that it's okay to dream. To be mesmerized by where wish you were. She dreams of the day she'll be able to glide through the water and drift effortlessly with sea turtles. But she gets so lost in her desire to be there, that she doesn't realize she's holding her breath. I've been there. Holding my breath. Holding out. Holding off the everyday moments. But I loved what Tracey said yesterday when she suggested that being present today doesn't mean you can't be filled with dreams for tomorrow.

Sometimes we just need to remember to breathe.

Oh what a beautiful photo! It just reminds me of when I was a little girl, and I think you captured the concept of daydreaming (and being two places at once) just stunningly.

Oh! And please, please, enter me into the contest!! Love love LOVE those bags! <3

[Jen Mishkin]

I have tried and tried to win an Epiphany bag. I guess if I don't win this time I should just take the plunge and buy one.

[Mindy Corder]

I love what Tracy said. You should always be dreaming.

I would love to win one of the amazing bags, that I have been admiring for awhile.

[Katie @ cakes, tea and dreams]

Love that photo. Thanks for the chance to win!

[Megan Welker]

I've been obsessing over those bags lately!! Would DIE to have one! My fav is the red Lola!!

[tanya lynn]

lovely photo, lovely words maile!
and, please count me in for the epiphanie bag giveaway, love those bags ;)

[molly k]

I remember those days...they were magical. I still get that "lost in a real life dream" feeling sometimes. Little ones are the greatest reminders, aren't they? Love your bags! Thanks for the post!

[Kiki]

I have been dreaming of Ginger for a while now. Could this be the universe telling me it's time to take the plunge and get that GF1 I have been coveting??? I think Ginger would be a great home for that, a few lenses, a point and shoot, geez, even netbook. Indeed, a girl can dream, can't she?

[Jen]

I'd love to win.

[cigi]

Yes, please. Enter me! Thanks. :-)

[Becky B]

This is such an adorable picture! That's the problem with being a grown up... you never stop to watch, play or imagine anymore as there's always something to do that has your mind distracted. Oh to be a child again... =)

{I'd love to win an epiphanie bag as well.. }

[Natalie]

Oh I am so ready for the Ginger bag to come back. I really wanted one but they sold out by the time I sold my last bag, pick me, pick me.

[Catalina]

Aw, this photo is wonderful! And it entices all the beauty that is photographing children - because they are and they do. I needed to remember to take a deep breathe today, and I loved seeing this picture and what was written below it. Please enter me to win the bag, they are ALL fabulous! Thanks and congrats on your beautiful blog :)

[Marta]

How amazing! Those are some gorgeous bags. Thanks for a great giveaway!

[Sarah]

It would be the best day EVER to win a bag!

[Lisa Schadt]

We should all take a moment and just breathe, could you imagine if everyone just took a deep breath a moment to think before they speak or react? What an incredibly different world.

[Stacy]

Love the post and photo!
And would be so lucky to win a bag! Fingers crossed - thanks for the opportunity!

[Jenna Rice]

Wowwweeee! Lovely shot!

[Valerie]

Love the colors of the photo -- they truly draw you in and set off the reflection.

[Diane]

I love that too, "Being present today doesn't mean you can't be filled with dreams for tomorrow." I'm at an age where most people would think I'm too old to dream of what tomorrow brings or to dream of the future. Yet I still dream. Running a business means straddling both worlds: the very present today and where I'm headed with what I have today. Some things get left behind -- just some crumbs -- and I bring the best parts with me -- for tomorrow.

[photogirl]

Have been eyeing the epiphanie bags for awhile now. They're gorgeous and oh so pragmatic!
