This & That.

Morning


Good morning from the Edwards!


Today is one of those mornings where I feel like I have all kinds of things I have been meaning to write about. Get ready for a list of stuff to check out, think about, giggle at, etc.


• Autism Awareness Month may be over, but that totally does not mean I will stop talking about it, sharing stories, etc. Check out this site: Katie the Scrapbook Lady and the links she has including Pediatrician Information and What Not To Say.


• A wonderful story shared with me recently: What's So Special About Special Needs


• I am loving my video iPod. Love it. Right now I am listening to The Artist's Way. There is something totally cool about hearing the content. I like that it is getting into my brain in a different way. If you have never read this book, you need to.


• Chris and I saw Akeelah & the Bee the other day. Loved it. Good movie. Happy movie. Uplifting and positive. They have promotional stuff all over Starbucks right now - which I thought was interesting - it all came together when I saw Starbucks Entertainment listed up on the screen.

• And one more silly photo (taken by the fabulous Kim Haynes) from the wedding - I was rocking in my heels:

I know there is more...but gotta take Simon to school and get to work! Happy Tuesday!

    How cute are you groovin' out in your fancies?! I always wonder if your personality in real life is the way that I imagine it when I read your blog and your layouts. I get a kick out of you.

    You're hot Sister! Enough said there - sure it was a wild weekend. FYI I had a blast with Simon this weekend. He was so awesome at the museum. He was spelling words he saw on the artwork and pointing out cats and seahorses and all kinds of things I was missing. Not sure I can go to a museum without him now - -he's my official tour guide. Love you three, Liz

    ALWAYS something here to inspire me. Thanks so much.
    "Our deepest fear..." is one of my favorite quotes, but you were right the first time: it's by Marianne Williamson (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marianne_Williamson for more info or Williamson's own site, or even Mandela's).
    It is now so often misattributed--some say Mandela quoted her in a speech but both of them say this is not the case---it is even implied to have been from Mandela in the movie, "Coach Carter."
    Help keep it accurate. Thanks!

    I love your work, Ali. I have your first book and will be purchasing your current book as soon as it arrives at my LSS. I love that you're a Mac person!!! Wish I had an iSight so we could live chat. And we have 4, count them FOUR, iPods in our house. One for me, one for my husband, and evidently one for each of our two cats!!! But what I really wanted to ask you about was The Artist Way. I have that book, and have tried twice to read it, but have been unsuccessful in finishing. Do you do the morning pages???? Do you go on artist's dates??? I just can't seem to be that disciplined. Any suggestions would surely be appreciated.
