Random Rumi

Come, come whoever you are, wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving, it doesn’t matter.
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vow a thousand times.
Come, come yet again, come.
~ Rumi

what is an enormously alive sensory apparatus?

“as we grow up, we put away our laughter and our silliness and our childish noises, the great sensory hilariousness of our young lives. We pick up a few notions about proper behavior, like what books to read and how to go about getting married and buying a home and being polite and having cocktail parties.. and the next thing you know is.. the little child – who was also an enormously alive sensory apparatus – is just another boring adult going to work in a seersucker suit with a briefcase.”

~ john rosenthal, ” amazing conversations”

Garden of the Mind

“If you don’t plant flowers in the garden of your mind, you’ll forever pull weeds. Likewise, if you don’t fill your day with high priority thoughts and actions, it will get filled with low priority thoughts and actions. At the start of each day, it is wise to visualize yourself sowing the seeds of what you would love to reap, then commit to sowing whatever you’d most love. Review your day and look for the link between what you sowed and what you reaped. It is impossible to break the Golden rule of cause and effect; no matter what, you reap what you sow and what you focus on, grows. Every time a weed is pulled, the flowers become more visible.”

~Dr John Demartini

Re-design and styling of a Naperville home

The story: This is a client of mine who went through a traumatic divorce and basically had very little left after the divorce was over. A bed, a couch, 2 oriental rugs, a dining room and kitchen table and a few chairs were all that was left. See how I re-styled this home with the few pieces he already had as well as some savvy new ones.

But, you don’t have to go through a divorce to be able to use my services.. I can help you re-style your space(s) no matter if it is one room or 5 rooms ( GREAT for the holidays, btw) and you will feel like you are living in a new home! Visit http://bybluett.com/ for more info!

hear with your heart.

“O Music,
In your depths we deposit our hearts and souls;
You have taught us to see with our ears
And to hear with our hearts.”

~Kahlil Gibran

Love is…

” love is not a feeling.. I define love thus: the will to extend one’s self for the purpose of nurturing one’s own or another’s spiritual growth.” ~ M. Scott Peck

Poetry is

” In my book poetry is a necessity of life, what they used to call nontaxable matter.”
C.D. Wright

And, I agree… although I never imagined I would. ~KK
