welcome to just a little ditty...

After two years of blogging here, 

I decided it was time for just a little ditty version 2.0!

I'll no longer be posting on this site, but you can find me here!

And Thank YOU for being on this ride with me... 

it's been amazing, and I have a feeling, the road is long...

Welcome to justalittleditty.com

"Anything is possible. Anything can be."

in life...

You'll find this manifesto on the Lululemon's website and on all their shopping bags.

It's their mission statement -- and it's a great outlook relativity.

My favorite: 

"Creativity is maximized when you're living in the moment."

What's yours?

just do your best

take one

success

I saw these trophies recently in a window display... 

they are good reminders that success means 

something different to everybody. 

So why not

Define your own...

Create your own...

?

(and enjoy the adventure along the way!)

live them well

September 11...

Middletown Fire Department

Middletown, Rhode Island

Where were you on September 11, 2001?

Remember how we came together?

Say hello or introduce yourself to a neighbor…

You might need each other one day.

Thank someone who’s serving our nation – 

fire, medic, military, intelligence, law enforcement…

You might need them one day.

Honor those we lost by finding your own way to serve our great country…

So we can come together again.

Enjoy the day...

good call

spreading smiles

This is a pretty cool way to start the day!

Try it!

(the smiling part... painting your car is up to you...)

yahooooo!

 

Life should not be a journey with the 

intention of arriving at the end of it 

in a well-preserved and attractive body - 

but rather to skid in sideways, 

body thoroughly used up, 

covered in scars 

and screaming  

'yahoo'

what a ride!

take a hike

Nothing fuels me more than spending time with creative people. Yesterday I went on a hike with two of my good friends, Kate Barton & Kiki Slaughter. Both are local artists, who are talented beyond words.  We chatted about life, what it means to be creative and how we get from point A to point B.  Check out their work, read about the artists behind the canvases; I have no doubt you'll be inspired too.
