This seems very fitting to kick off the first weekend of graduation festivities! 

It’s real, it’s possible, it’s yours.

I can’t wait.

But first, let’s not forget Mad Men premieres on Sunday.

In honor of the cellphone’s 40th anniversary, this was my first cellphone!

Kind: LG C2000 Flip Phone
Carrier: Cingular, remember them?
Age: 15
Reason: Tired of being stranded at soccer practice

“In the modern world, we’re all interdependent, we’re all interconnected. You just can’t say that you’re only going to deal with your own kind of person, or you’re only going to meet your own kind of person, or you’re only going to listen to your own kind of person. That’s not the way the world is going to work. And we’ll either figure out how to be more integrated, or we will disintegrate.”

 

“Travel teaches you a lot about yourself. You learn how flexible you need to be, how adaptable you are—or not. Something always goes wrong. You can’t get your panic button pushed. You’ve got to just go with the flow and enjoy the experience. That has been a gift to me.”

— Hillary Clinton, the most traveled Secretary of State in History.

Channeling warm weather through hot tea in the newest addition to my Starbucks city mug collection! That checks Florida, Chicago, San Francisco, London, New York, and of course the Twin Cities off the list. Now it’s time to dream up a new travel opportunity. Hmm?

I found my beach. (at Fort Lauderdale Beach)

Words spoken have never been more true. Morning, noon, & night.

This is one of the most humbling quotes of all time and it is absolutely true. In the words of Ellen Degeneres, “be kind to one another!”
