Sometimes you just need a little perspective!A group of friends decided to gather in Marfa, Texas for a 40th birthday. We all treked out to West Texas which is really one of the most sparsely  populated regions in the US and it is hard to get to from everywhere.  I had very little expectations from our trip out here, but have gained so much inspiration I feel the need to share. Donald Judd moved to Marfa in the 70's and his collection of artwork has made this town famous.  One man fell in love with the landscape and architecture of this remote and...

Some words of wisdom. I just returned from a month sabbatical in India.  I left my computer, phone, children, husband, business and all other cares behind.  There were moments of doubt leading up to the trip as to whether it was the right thing.  I am very directly involved in being a parent and in running my business (a lot of overlap as Happy Girl is truly my 3rd child).  I wasn't sure if it was too selfish of me to leave both for so long and I was not sure what consequences I would return to.  I am happy...

Pictures are worth a thousand words.  We couldn't be happier with our new roaster.  It is amazing what can happen when the right partnerships are formed.  I wish that every business alliance I had felt this good.  Please enjoy this photo montage of our launch party and know that we wish you were there!!!
