I can get really bogged down with different things in my life and just forget one aspect entirely.

In this semester we have alternated between one week on the pioneer (school paper) and one week in classes.

In the next few days I will do my Damnedest to update this to right now.


For now I will post a photograph I took in Montreal that I personally adore and then I will send you off to watch something that will hopefully inspire you.

My mom Shelagh.

Happy Birthday Mom! I love this photograph of you and have had it open in photoshop behind the slew of windows with ted.com talks, emails, episodes of Skins loading, facebook, etc etc etc and every once in a while when I minimize one of those windows the photograph appears and I smile.

I am lucky to know so many beautiful people and even more lucky to be related to a bunch. You are one of the most beautiful and inspiring people I know not because you are my mother but because of the fact that you are fearlessly beating down obstacles while fulfilling you're artistic dreams.

Please never stop being inspired because when reading your essays, articles and hopefully soon books I find new inspiration and drive to push towards those goals that scare me.

I have the best mom I could ask for...

and not only that but I have two of them...

Thank you mom for being such a strong and inspirational role model in my life.
