Collages, Vision Boards and now, Pinterest

when i was a young girl i began creating collage boards. i am sure you did too. i loved cutting out my favorite things from the pages of fashion magazines. my friends and i would create our collages together or give our creation to one another as a birthday gift. we would string together descriptive words like – You’re A Fox, Foxy, Best Friends. Best Friends Forever, Go SCOTS! Go Piedmont! Sexy, Cute and the like. it was so much fun 🙂 i continued collaging into my teenage years and even into my young adult life creating boards of inspiration depicting my goals and dreams. collages are now more commonly referred to as “vision boards”.  vision boards are a great way to let your imagination run wild, to become inspired as well as to visualize and chart your goals. and, today we have Pinterest, it’s my latest addiction. i try to carve out a few moments from time to time where i can imagine, surf and pin to my hearts content. oftentimes when i am getting dressed i refer to my own Pinterest boards for a bit of fashion inspiration, like this one… it’s just so much fun!

What’s App!

As I tend to do when I have a bit of down time – I search, seek and learn.  And in the process become a little obsessed.  (And if you know me at all you probably are saying – “what downtime!”)

That’s Biscuit my Bichon – He’s waiting patiently for me to get off of my Mac Book and pay some attention to him!  Isn’t he cute?!  He finally gave up and went to sleep!

In the last 24 hours I began researching blogs, apps and learning more about RSS feeds.  I can’t explain that so don’t ask – but I can refer you to a real techie, not an accidental techie like myself! (I will always seek and connect you with the appropriate person to help you with your mission!) [Read More..]

Thank you to the many who have wished me a Happy Birthday!

I appreciate each and everyone of you!!

As I reflect on my life, my family, my friends and myself one thought always comes to mind – Just how truly Grateful I am.

Grateful for my husband and children, my family and extended family, my friends, my clients, my acquaintances and people who cross my path for a week or just a moment.  Each connection is a new experience, a growth opportunity or a new perspective which in turn spurs a new thought or idea.

My birthday also represents a new beginning, similar to the start of a New Year and August-September, right after the kids go back to school.  It is a time when I reflect and check in on my goals and things I want to accomplish, some big, some small, some mundane — like purging all the stuff that fills our home, garage and basement that we don’t need or use!!

I wish each and every one of you a wonderful year filled with adventure, love and serenity.  And if there is anyway I can help you in your life please just ask.

Those two words “Gratitude” and “Grateful” have been circling in my head for months, so recently I decided to change the title of my blog to – Debbi DiMaggio A Grateful Life – www.debbidimaggioagratefullife.com

Wishing you to a very happy and grateful life.

XOXOX! Debbi

PS. The two weeks we spent on the East Coast was amazing — look for my blog – Summer on the East Coast – Coming Soon.
