Memorial Day Weekend Recap: Caribbean Wine Festival @ Linganore Winecellars

This weekend marked my first ever Caribbean wine festival, and it's sure to be the first of many. My sister (and full-time wingman) Ashleigh was my date. We met up with one of the cutest and real (not one of those 'do it for the likes-approval-new-age') couples I know, Kirk and Isimot, the duo behind my obsession with referring to your love as your "rib." Swoons. A good time was had by all. There was live caribbean music, food, vendors and plenty of dancing; as well as a section reserved solely for hula hooping! And don't even get me started on the wine. (If you haven't tried raspberry wine, do it now. You're welcome) It was one of the best times I've had in a while and I can't wait to return in July for the Reggae fest. I heard it was even more live. Let the summer Festivals begin! 

Next up: The Roots Picnic, 5/31 

( SIDE NOTE: I'm loving the special edition TRIBE tee. Might need to create more? )

Good Morning

 

Happy Friday!

I love when I'm browsing the 'net and I come across some fly $hit. With that said, I think I've discovered my new blog "muse." Meet FlyGirlBlog.com.

 

 

I particularly liked the post on  developing "Your Blueprint" because it is relevant to what I'm trying to do in the place that I'm at in my life. It's a simple idea, which I love because I feel that we are always finding ways to complicate our lives more than we need to. The blueprint layout is below.

Clean, and straight to the point.

Musings: 5/21/2014

grab a hold of the reins of your life

find the fun in the "fixing"

the reward

I feel good

motivated

challenged

...for the better

like an architect

pen in hand,

blank sheet

I

define

me

my actions

my words

my energy

it's mine for the taking

for the creating

outside forces can influence

but they can't tell me who to be

journey with purpose

results driven

I.

a song popped up on my playlist tonight that brought me back to a place

a feeling,

I haven't ventured in a while

it was nice

( SIDE NOTE: KP - I'm so, I'm so proud of you! )

"Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better.
Don’t wish for less problems, wish for more skills.
Don’t wish for less challenges, wish for more wisdom.
The major value in life is not what you get.
The major value in life is what you become.
Success is not to be pursued;
it is to be attracted by the person you become."

-Jim Rohn
