Lessons From Kermit

If you follow Cake Wrecks then you'll see the Sweet counterpart to this tomorrow, but for now, here's the song I've been singing myself all week. It made me feel a bit better in my "stuck" times, so I hope it does the same for you.



 (Hit play, then start scrolling.)

 
It's not that easy bein' me
Having to spend each day
thinking all I ought to be
When I think it could be nicer
Bein' strong or clever or bold
Or something much more colorful like that


It's not easy bein' "Me"
It seems you blend in with so
Many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're
Not standin' out like flashy
Sparkles on the water
Or stars in the sky


But "Me" is how I'm made to be
And "Me" can be cool and friendly-like
And "Me" can be strong as a lover
Or clever as a writer
And bold in-between


When "Me" is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why
But why wonder, why wonder?
I am me, and it'll do fine
It's beautiful
And I think it's what I want to be

 I like to think Kermit would approve of my little re-write.

Let's Stop To Smell The Hogwarts Castle

I just had one of those "Wait, it's Thursday?" moments - but in a bad way. Anyone else?

This week feels like it's slipping away double-speed, and if you're feeling the same then I have a little reminder for all of us: 

Sometimes when you're feeling really behind the answer isn't to speed up, it's to slow down.

So c'mon, let's stop and smell these pretty Hogwarts pictures.

Mmmmm. Smells like a sense of wonder and Iocane powder.


Definitely getting some whiffs of cotton candy here.

Or, if you prefer your angles - and your intellects - more dizzying:

This one's Angry Cotton Candy

Lemon drops. With a touch of cedar.
