Aloha!

Nothing stimulates the mind more than slowing down and doing nothing… take on a new perspective… is that day to day grind worth it?… When is the last time you discovered new art, artists, toys, far off lands?

I love to travel and find new art so this week have been goofing off … hiked a volcano and discovered the beauty of Islamic art at a fabulous home! The beauty of another place makes you appreciate your own Shangrila 2014home as well as others and helps broaden your perspective. After tour I decided to get that brass tray my parents brought back from Tripoli 60 years ago and make a table out of it (again). I had cleaned that tray so many times as a kid that I was missing the beauty so had put it in back of a closet but now have a new appreciation!

Vacations are good for the mind, body and soul…do it!
