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.

*In celebration of Give-away May, and also the fact that the next shipment will be here any minute (YAY!), we're giving away an Epiphanie bag of your choice! Don't forget to check out the new Lola in black! Leave a comment today, and one lucky winner will be chosen by tomorrow! Good luck!

I often tell myself to just breathe and enjoy the moments of today in order to dream of tomorrow :)
May 25, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterDiana
I so often need reminders to live in the moment, just live today. I'm going to do my best this summer, soaking up the days with my boys. Thanks for the hint!

Oh yeah, I'd LOVE an Epiphanie bag!

May 25, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterCindy Geiger
Lately I've definitely had to slow down and remind myself that things don't need done all at once, that the process is just as valuable as the things we're dreaming for. Thanks for this.
