Summer is here!

The sun is out, people are in good spirits, and its my favorite time of the year! Trips to the beach and surf sessions might be the inspiration behind my latest line of necklaces. Take a look. 

Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, 
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,

When funds are low and the debts are high, 
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit, 
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns, 
As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about, 
When he might have won if he'd stuck it out.

Don't give up, though the pace seems slow - 
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than 

It seems to a faint and faltering man;

Often the struggler has given up 
When he might have captured the victor's cup,

And he learned too late, when the night slipped down, 
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out - 
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are - 
It may be near when it seems afar;

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit - 
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

Getty features Herb Ritts

Yesterday I took a spontaneous trip to The Getty Museum in LA with the main intention of meeting up with a dear friend to catch up and visit with while she was in town.  However, I was in for a treat because Herb Ritts exhibit had just opened in April. I came to learn about the amazing photographer and all of his many successes in the fashion world.  His work is not only amazing but truly inspiring and you should definitely check it out before the exhibit ends in August.
