success
So those of you who follow my blog know about Matt Mullin. Here is what I wrote a few months ago, just after he died.
“Matt signed all his emails and letters with live well, laugh often, love much. It was more than a closing, more than just a motto. It was how he lived. Honestly, I don't even know where to begin this post, I already know I will not do Matt justice. All I really know, is that he came into my life for a reason-- and luckily, I figured that out the moment I met him, not the moment he died. Matt used to say, "lose the morning, lose the day". He made the most of every day-- and truthfully, I'm not sure he would have any regrets about his life...How many of us could say that? I, am certainly not one of them, yet.
In so many ways, Matt reminded me of Ben, my brother. He was funny, he was genuine, he was engaging. He reminded me of someone YOU would want to be friends with. You'd want him in your life forever, and you'd probably realize that, like me, within minutes of meeting him. Losing him, would feel like the world has lost someone, not just you. And it has. I also know that through Matt's loss...the world has gained. I think for a lot of us-- it takes losing someone, like Matt, who lived every day as fully as one could-- to realize, that THAT is what life is about. It’s not the small things (or maybe it is, because some small things, unlike others, DO matter). But not the smalls stuff. Don't sweat the small stuff. Enjoy the little things, live for today, because it really is, the only thing we'll ever have. And those of us lucky enough to have had Matt in our lives, know that we have one heck of a lead to follow.”
There isn’t a day that goes by when I don’t think about Matt and how he lived his life. He embodied “live well, laugh often, love much”. I have been wondering where Matt got that quote from, obviously it meant a lot to him, and now means a lot to those who knew him. So, I googled it, and this poem is what I found. It stunned me. It’s right on…as if it was written about Matt. And in away, I’m sure it was. It’s about all the Matts of the worlds—the people who live their lives to the very fullest, and who leave a lasting impression on all who have come into contact with them. The title of the poem is Success.
Success
He has achieved success
who has lived well,
laughed often, and loved much;
who has enjoyed the trust of
pure women,
the respect of intelligent men and
the love of little children;
who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
who has left the world better than he found it
whether by an improved poppy,
a perfect poem or a rescued soul;
who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty
or failed to express it;
who has always looked for the best in others and
given them the best he had;
whose life was an inspiration;
whose memory a benediction.
--1904 Bessie Anderson Stanley
Erin & Jeff
One of the many things I love most about my job is getting to work with talented vendors time and time again. Patricia Lyons is one of our favorite photographers... She shot a wedding I planned in June...and the pictures are incredible! Below is an exert from her blog... I can't compete. So I'm cheating a bit, the ol' copy and paste number...
Jeff and Erin got married on a gorgeous summer day in June. They were, in a word, adorable. They had this way about them where they would fold into eachother so casually and easily, quickly forgetting I was there (helloo, guys, I'm still here!!) which made for some very fun photo taking. Their families were sweet and clearly adored those two, I really enjoyed getting to know them all and catching their heartfelt expressions.
They opted for the 'first glance' before the ceremony, and before you go all traditional on me, it is SO great. She snuck up behind him and when he turned his smile was as big as they get. They enjoyed this moment with family in the distance and a few clicks of my shutter, up close and personal. It also allowed us to get all the group shots before their ceremony so they could enjoy more of their reception. LOVED it!
The Easton Events team pulled together a visual feast that blew me away. When they said mango ceiling drapes my head probably cocked to the side like a curious dog, but that's why I am not the wedding planner, because holy smokes did it ever WORK! The warm glow lit the room beautifully and one of the highlights of my night was hovering near the entrance of the tent to hear all the oohs and ahhhs.

same same but different
“Everything in life is connected somehow. You may have to dig deep to find it but its there. Everything is the same even though its different. Somehow everything connects back with your life. The faces in certain places may be different, but the situation is the same. Irony is a hidden factor that creeps around us in life, letting its presence felt only after it has left. Picture back to a year ago and the situation you were in. Look at how things are different yet somehow everything it still in someway cognate. Everything connects together to form the balance of life, to maintain structure. Change is and always will be inevitable, but everything is relative, and all the moments and times in your life will come back around again, you just might find yourself on the other side of the coin. Things are always changing, as fast as everything stays the same.” ...Author Unknown

my friend teddy just asked me this question. its absolutely worth repeating...
"if you could only choose one song to wake up to for the rest of your life, what would it be?"
i'm taking a pole. take your time. but email me when you think of YOURS...
gentle reminder
a friend of mine wrote this to me yesterday. it's a nice little reminder...
Sometimes you just have to play hookie from responsibilities...

Francoise & Ed
Memorial Day weekend Francoise and Ed were married at Keswick Hall. They're both chefs in New York, and as one would expect, they worked with Chef Craig Hartman at Keswick Hall to create an elaborate four course meal for their wedding dinner. You can watch their slideshow here...compliments of Lynne Brubaker and Easton Events!
and then there were three...
My mom always jokes about wanting to write a book, “How I lost 60 pounds in 6 minutes”. Its true, she did. My friend, Kelly, could be a co-author. She, too, is a proud mother of triplets. THREE. It’s nuts. I visited Kelly and her husband, Hunter, a few weeks ago, and was blown away with how amazing they are with their three new babies. Here is a picture that Jen Fariello recently took of them. Carter, Brody and Morgan. And as you can see from the picture, she dominates the boys!

below is part of a note i just received from an old friend of mine...
it is as beautiful a sentiment as it is true...
live everything
Mares sent this quote to me last night. Its from an old card someone snail mailed to her awhile back. i love it. you might too...
"I beg you...to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer...."

(Matt wearing his favorite shirt. Fisherman's Village Island, Thailand)Yesterday, hundreds of friends and family sat on the 24th street beach in Avalon to celebrate and memorialize Matt's life and his impact on others. His best buddy, Patrick, ordered over two hundred Quit Your Job shirts from the Island Company to hand out, as a reminder of Matt's mantra. Patrick shared this email with us-- an email from Spencer Antle, the founder of the company who created the shirts. Matt, easily, could have written this email. It's along the same lines as a converstaion I had with Matt over his shirt, walking around an island off the coast of Thailand. Spencer's letter is below...read on...
Patrick,
Let me know that you got the shirts when they arrive and that all is accounted for. I hope we were helpful and I hope that the memorial goes well.
The thought of all those people wearing the shirts at such a situation is staggering to us here. For something I wrote to have been part of someone's life like that is heartfelt for me. It was meant to make people think about their lives and to get out there and live. After hearing the story, it's clear that was how Matty was living his life. To have the shirt associated with his passing is difficult for me to comprehend somehow. I've always had a rule when I attend funerals or memorials that I try and find something about the person who's passed and incorporate it into my daily life. I didn't know him but somehow this has reaffirmed what that shirt was supposed to mean. That life is short and we can waste no time not enjoying it to its fullest. I wanted to explain a bit about the shirt and what it means to me since I am sure it will become a topic of conversation since so many people will be wearing it as a testament to what Matty valued in his life. The meaning of the shirt isn't as base as people usually think.
QUIT YOUR JOB: It isnt exactly about just quitting your job. It's about getting unstuck. If you're not happy, what are you waiting for? Quit following the path that is unfulfilled and consider doing something else. The time is Now. For most of us, this is the hardest part of changing your life. Making that first step. You have two choices in life: the path of least resistance, or the path you can’t resist. I say, “why resist?”. Quit. Go. Now.
BUY A TICKET: the world is a big place and there's a million dreams we've all had, most of which will go unrealized unfortunately. Buying a ticket means finding a destination where you think improvement can be made and pointing yourself in that direction. The great thing about travel is when we get somewhere new our lives usually appear different to us when we look back into them from the outside. I've always thought that as a society we don't spend enough time vacationing. We spend 50 weeks a year working for the goal of taking 2 weeks off. There’s an obvious problem with this equation. But even one day off, if lived correctly, can be a major return on a small investment. The ticket doesn’t cost that much in the scope of life.
GET A TAN: It’s not about the tan. It's really about letting yourself go, to really learn to relax and become a "local" in your new environment. I've found through extensive island travels that its takes a considerable amount of time to become "unstuck" and become a local. Our day-to-day jobs, efforts, trials and tribulations build up a lot of scar tissue and we put up a lot of barriers in dealing with them. This makes seeing the good things hard sometimes. It takes nearly a month to truly decompress. Another month to become yourself again (and by yourself I mean that person who was once full of ideals and dreams that has been slowly silenced by the day to day monotony that seems to change us and put us off course). And again it takes another month just to become indoctrinated in becoming a “local” in whatever new environment you are in. The locals know the roads, the hideaways, the places that make you smile. They are freer than us. So yeah, I guess I'm saying that to truly "get a tan", and not just a "tourist tan", you need to be somewhere 3 months. We've seen them on vacation - those dark-skinned, ex-patriated locals that make us jealous. Their tans are different than ours. Well so are their minds too.
FALL IN LOVE. I think this is a testament to becoming yourself again. It doesn't necessarily mean "finally finding that perfect person that only exists in faraway fantasy locales", but by returning to the state of mind that allows you to be open to falling in love. In love with where you are, who you are, and in love with the potential of your future. This love is what allows great things to happen again. And it usually isn’t dependent on anyone other than ourselves to achieve.
NEVER RETURN. Well it's the best ending to being reborn. Don't go back to the past, keep moving forward, life can be as great as we want to make it, so never move backward. The past makes up who we are. No matter how great, or how bad some events have shaped us, it's what we're left with today that we have to work with. This is where true growth happens in our life. By moving forward, building upon the past, seeking greatness in the future. Never returning.
I'm sure that Matty would want there to be a celebration for what he did and accomplished, if even for his short time, I’m sure he was proud of it. Most true travelers, wanderers and seekers seem to share this view on Life and Death. To truly walk into the future with open eyes and an idealistic heart, you have to have a shallow fear of death. If you don’t have this strength you can’t get very close to The Edge, and unfortunately The Edge is where most living takes place, where most of life’s rewards are found. Everyone knows the timeless saying that nothing great came without risks. And we all know Life is rarely found sitting on the couch. People who share an affinity for this shirt seem to be of this Life Warrior spirit. It’s just a tee shirt at the end of the day but its really weird the people it attracts.
I tell my family that if anything ever happens to me to celebrate what I did, not the loss of what I didn't do. I've had great opportunities, seen great things, and done more in some months that people get to do their whole lives. And I'd be upset if anyone spent even one minute mourning my life. I'd rather it be talked, rejoiced and laughed about and I’d be upset that I couldn’t attend my own memorial. It’d be the only time all my friends who knew me got together at one time. What a shame it’d be if all those great people that shared one singular person didn’t have a blast at this once-in-a-lifetime event. Matty's life deserves the same.
I would've liked to have met Matty -- another warrior from the front lines of life and its experiences.... He sounds pretty cool.
Please pass on Island Company's and my thoughts and wishes to all his family and friends.
Kindest thoughts,
Spencer Antle

top of the day to you
A few years ago i started making a list of my highs. You know, the best part of your day. The high. It is mostly a mental list-- although i've written some of them down, shared some of them through stories and letters, most of my highs are stored in my head (read: some forgotten, some remembered). Sometimes my high is as simple as receiving a smile from a stranger, or a note from my sister. As simple as witnessing someone walking down the street, alone, with a smile on their face. Or finally being able to do a yoga pose i've been working on for months. Or waking up to a hot pot of coffee. Or getting to my car on a snowy day and finding that someone has brushed it off, just because. Or opening the mailbox to find good old fashioned snail mail from a college friend. or my mom. or my grandfather. or you. My highs are consistently the little things. The sincerity of the world around me and the people within it. Seeing someone flip a penny on the ground from tails to heads...for someone else to find, heads up. The cashier at the grocery store who looks me in the eye and says "have a good day", and means it. Sometimes, my high, is as simple as waking up, and realizing there is a lot ahead. today. and tomorrow.

Matt signed all his emails and letters with live well, laugh often, love much. It was more than a closing, more than just a motto. It was how he lived. Honestly, I don't even know where to begin this post, I already know I will not do Matt justice.

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful weekend to celebrate my good friends' Drew and Gillie's wedding. Every little thing about their wedding day was personal, thoughtful and pure. Drew's father, Jay, with anecdotes and grace, officiated the ceremony. Drew and Gillie's dog, Solstice, was there to join them as they first walked down the aisle as husband and wife. Their friends, myself included, formed an arch around the couple as they made their vows: not standing on one side, but on both. For the first time, I stood on the other (and more personal) side of a wedding I planned.
The reception site: Panorama Farms in Earlysville-- a place Drew and his family had lived while we were in high school. As guests drove onto the property--they followed tiki torches and bluegrass music up the hill to the tent. With a 360 dgree view of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and the sun setting below them, you couldn't dream of a more fitting place to eat, drink and be merry.
Guests were greeted with mason jars of lemonade and tea and homemade Wisconsin cheese, made by Gillie's brother, Andy. When the sun dipped below the mountains... we kept ourselves warm with wine, dancing and s'mores by the bonfire. There wasn't one cake, there were seven... all made by Albemarle Baking Company, where Gillie works part-time.
There are memories you wish you could bottle up-- and Saturday certainly was full of them. Drew and Gillie: cheers to the two of you, and all we have to look forward to. I have a feeling, this is only the beginning! xoxo

i'm headed to hong kong tomorrow...and i think i've just been inspired...
the now
Carpe Diem. I know it seems like such a simple concept, but I think sometimes we have to remember to live in the moment and enjoy what is right in front of us. Recently I was having a conversation with one of my parents' friends. He told me something that I've tried to actively remember and implement in my day to day life. He said, "You don't have the past. You don't have the future. The only thing you really have, and ever will have, is the present. The now."
Recognizing that the past has shaped who you are, and has influenced the "now"... we can appreciate it for what it is. But letting it go at that. And the future is something that we can think about and plan on (which is obviously important)-- but its something that will always be just that, the future. The ever present now is where we are, and where we'll always be. So we might as well enjoy it and live directly in it--with the best energy and ability to do so. I know its cliche, but no one knows what tomorrow will bring. So carpe diem my friend. Happy Day, Today.
USS New York
I am sure a lot of you have already seen this.... talk about reuse and recycle... and talk about proud to be an American. We melted down the twin towers and have created new ones. Here is the article...
The USS New York
It was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the World Trade Center . It is the fifth in a new class of warship designed for missions that include special operations against terrorists. It will carry a crew of 360 sailors and 700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault craft.
Steel from the World Trade Center was melted down in a foundry in Amite, LA to cast the ship's bow section. When it was poured into the molds on Sept 9, 2003, 'those big rough steelworkers treated it with total reverence,' recalled Navy Capt. Kevin Wensing, who was there. 'It was a spiritual moment for everybody there.' Junior Chavers, foundry operations manager, said that when the trade center steel first arrived, he touched it with his hand and the 'hair on my neck stood up..' 'It had a big meaning to it for all of us,' he said. 'They knocked us down. They can't keep us down. We're going to be back.' The ship's motto? 'Never Forget'

this is just a little ditty i made today. its how i feel. its a reminder too...everything has a value. read on.

A good friend of mine, John Pringle, will be playing in Charlottesville Thursday night. If you haven't heard him--he local, he's funny, he's got great stories, oh, and he is extremely talented. And if you don't like his stuff... Gravity has great beer :) I'd like to meet a person who doesn't love Busted in Stockholm. Just come. Here are the details...
Thursday, March 12th
Gravity Lounge (103 South First Street)
8:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.
tickets at the door: $9
And in case you want more Pringle in your life...read on...
Pringle’s musical journey was not an easy or typical one. Pringle, a South Carolina native, spent most of his youth growing up in Georgia as the youngest in a loving family with four older sisters. Even at a young age, Pringle had an undeniable passion for music. His life long admiration for songwriters Eddie Vedder and Bob Dylan is evident in his music today, in which traces of Vedder’s deep voice and Dylan’s defeatist lyrics echo throughout his every song. His fans have been quoted saying that “he’s the next American David Gray, someone you can listen to and smile while enjoying the beauty in each of the songs”.
Even while working on Wall Street as a commodities broker, Pringle continued to feed his musical soul performing at open mic nights throughout New York City. Pringle developed an international following, when his brokerage career took him across the pond to Europe. While living over there he overcame his fear of stage fright playing at local pubs and won the hearts of some of the world’s harshest critics, the London working class.
Pringle’s ability to honestly convey his thoughts, emotions and experiences enables him to connect in a way few artists can. The honesty in his music is a reflection of this sincere young man who “tells it like it is,” and in the greatest display of self candor walked away from a successful business career to pursue his dream.

Matt Dances Around the World
Matt says about his travels: "In February of 2003, Matt quit his job in Brisbane, Australia and used the money he'd saved to wander around Asia until it ran out.
A few months into his trip, a travel buddy gave Matt an idea. They were standing around taking pictures in Hanoi, and his friend said "Hey, why don't you stand over there and do that dance. I'll record it." He was referring to a particular dance Matt does. It's actually the only dance Matt does. He does it badly. Anyway, this turned out to be a very good idea.
A couple years later, someone found the video online and passed it to someone else, who passed it to someone else, and so on. Now Matt is quasi-famous as "That guy who dances on the internet. No, not that guy. The other one. No, not him either. I'll send you the link. It's funny."
The response to the first video brought Matt to the attention of the nice people at Stride gum. They asked Matt if he'd be interested in taking another trip around the world to make a new video. Matt asked if they'd be paying for it. They said yes. Matt thought this sounded like another very good idea.
In 2006, Matt took a 6 month trip through 39 countries on all 7 continents. In that time, he danced a great deal."
amazing....
the razor's edge
One of my favorite books is The Razor's Edge. I received it as a gift, when I graduated from high school. Since then, I've probably read it 4 or 5 times. In fact, it might be the only book I've picked up more than once. Each time I read it, I'm at a different point in my life, and it means something different to me. It is an incredible book and story...and impossible not to relate to. I came across this quote last night... the concept of change is at the heart of the book, which I think is why I love it so much.
"Nothing in the world is permanent, and we're foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we're still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it. If change is of the essence of existence one would have thought it only sensible to make it the premise of our philosophy." ...Somerset Maugham
My dad told me one time that change was the only certain thing in life (he continued to tell me throughout my childhood that "life is not fair" - which as far as I am concerned, is another certainty in life)...
black sheep
one of my good friends made me the most incredible mix cd, which has been playing on a loop since he gave it to me monday... Martin Sexton sings Black Sheep in track 4. it's giving skinny love a rival. i love it.
happy thursday to you...
grace
The Labyrinth above can be found on the floor of the Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. I wandered in there one day when I was exploring the hilly city... The labyrinth is an ancient pattern that can be found in may forms in different cultures around the world. They are open to all people as non-denominational, cross-cultural tools for well-being. It can be used in many ways: to quite the mind, find balance, encourage meditation and insight, or for celebration. (makes me want one in my house!)...
