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 am so in L.O.V.E. with your bags, and would so love the *Ginger*. I thought I gave enough clues off for Mother's Day, but apparently not. I even called my 6 year old daughter Epiphanie instead of Symphony so that she would remember the correct name for her papa to buy it for her mama.... Here's to wishing that I win :)


Thank you for an awesome giveaway!

I LOVE it! The reflection with those puffed up cheeks and pursed lips. Precious. I get so excited when I can see my dreams unfolding that I forget to eat. :) I have massive anxiety and run around trying to make things happen too fast.

I love these bags :) I've been trying to get my hands on one for a while! I'm in desperate need of this, too. My poor camera has a busted screen from being carried around in my purse all the time. I'm planning to get a new SLR soon, and this would be that push to prove my husband I can take care of it ;)

Enter me, please...thank you!

Trying desperately to catch my breath after a whirlwind of volunteering the past 4 days - 3 with Girl Scouts in Savannah and 1 with my daughter's 5th grade end-of-the-year field trip. So today I will focus.....BREATHE....BREATHE.....and then tomorrow I can dream again. Dream of the last day of school:)
Would love an Epiphanie bag!!!!
May 25, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterPatty Hetrick
