Mental Tango

song pairing:  Tango in Harlem by Touch and Go


Just a quick hello and update from the House of Golightly

We are busy preparing the finishing touches for another print collection,

prepping for this Sunday's Alameda,

(and sadly, learning my mother has been diagnosed with cancer)
Waiting for more test results and working on deadlines

has my mind whirling and twirling 

( and not in the most effective way ) 

I'm dreaming about transporting to NYC

for just one Tango

A mini mental vacay on a warm summer evening

in Central Park is just what I need to clear some clutter


Tango in Central Park really does take place
and right now, that sounds so divine !

I stumbled upon this NYC tradition last time I was there

 Every Saturday there are free Tango lessons 
at the William Shakespeare statue

It does a heart good to see people 
from all walks of life, age and abilities
setting aside life's distractions
forgetting their troubles
&

losing themselves to the music.
I am sure they go back to life's daily grind with a fresh perspective

it's a very sweet and poetic sight

Ok. ( click click click ) Time for me to wake up and get back to it !


For now, I  bid you adieu


~ Thank you for the dance ~

Until next time,

I wish you a music filled twirly Monday !

& If I'm not back soon, send someone to find me ! ;)

Ciao !

Splendorful & Wonderous

"Occasionally in life, there are those moments of unutterable fulfillment which cannot be completely explained by those symbols called words.

Their meanings can only be articulated

by the inaudible language of the heart"

Martin Luther King Jr

A lovely girlfriend shared this quote and

it made me think about times when the world seems to stop in silent splendor

and suddenly everything is perfect

Wishing you a season full of warmth & magic that is beyond words
