Don't Be Trapped by Dogma

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.  Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all price, all fear of embarrassment or failure -- these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.  Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.  You are already naked.  There is no reason not to follow your heart.

[...]
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking.  Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice.  And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.  They somehow already know what you truly want to become.  Everything else is secondary."

- Wise words from Steve Jobs, who I greatly admired way before it was cool, in an excerpt from his 2005 Stanford Commencement address (full text here)
Mulling some things over.  Be back soon.

Put a Flower On It

I'm loving these kickin' flower shoe clips!

$8 (on sale!), DaintyButton's Etsy

I really, really wanted navy  heels when I got married for a shot of color underneath my gown, but I couldn't find the perfect pair in the height I needed so I wore a pretty gray satin pair instead. They would have been even cuter with rosette shoe clips like these in my color of choice!


Love the puffiness.

I want to wear these in my hair, too.
