Not sure if it's evident or not, yet... But, I simply adore Halloween! Yes, moi--lover of all things Zen, elegant and feminine--also adore the most kitsch-ish, ickiest, and strangest of holidays.

Following Monday's much needed day of partaking in "guilty pleasures," however, I discovered what I needed most was to embrace those things I truly enjoy, yet sometimes feel not-so-entitled to (in this instance: decorating the house for the upcoming holiday).

May your day be laden with authentic expression! Joy & peace, T.
