"We are because we feel, because we form invisible ties and timeless links to one another. Life is about the energy we share - a gaze, an embrace, a fleeting exchange of irreplicable moments. Life is about the connection." - Gabriela Condrea, When 1+1=1
"Somos porque sentimos, porque formamos lazos invisibles y vínculos atemporales entre nosotros. La vida trata de compartir energía - una mirada, un abrazo fugaz, un intercambio fluyente de momentos irreproducibles."

Doodles of nothing in particular
Somehow I find myself coming back to this idea of taking time off over and over again. I guess that's intrinsically part of working for yourself doing something you love: it takes a lot of work and it's hard to stop. But stopping is necessary. It's been an intense couple of... it's been intense for a long time. So today when I woke up not really wanting to get out of bed - and I love my sleep, but I do usually want to get up and start the day - it was a sign to just take a little time to read a book and let myself change gears, at least for a bit. There comes a point when we all need a little breather, a small change, a pause from the running of the daily grind. So today, I'm going to draw, sketch things I see around me, go back to what I used to love when I was little. I spent my childhood drawing and doodling. When things get real intense or you feel a bit of a gridlock, a good strategy is to go back to what you know, back to what you know you love, back to something you used to do that feels good and helps you release, relax, and breathe.

Anything and Everything
Some people confuse “anything” with “everything”
Some people confuse “anything”
with “everything,” and while they’re busy doing everything they don’t do
anything. “To be successful,”
told me Daniel Gelbart last weekend, “you have to do only one thing at a time.
No-one ever succeeded—” “Multitasking?” I interject. “Yes.”
And it’s true. You can’t have your cake
and eat it too; you can’t do everything.
We live in the land of opportunity, a place of possibilities,
