MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY

I'm sorry readers!  My Motivational Monday post is a little late... I promise I won't make it a habit!I stumbled upon a super inspiring story the other day that  I just can't forget about.  Pete Eckert calls himself a "blind visual artist."  This 4 minute long video will surely make your day.

"Sound gives an image just like light gives an image. Sound wraps around images and if your in the sound's shadow, it'll give you a description of where and what the thing is your looking at."  - Pete Eckert

Today's tune is performed and written by Stevie Wonder, who is also blind.   Listen to this awesome live version of "Uptight" performed in 1965.  He was 15!      XOXO.... Jessica

HAPPY PRIDE!!

Singer FAMILY!

This morning I went to a local English Pub named Shakespeare's, where I watched the Live 2011 Women's World Cup, Semi-Final game between USA and France. The atmosphere was amazing, full of families and friends who had woken up early to partake in cheering on our USA soccer ladies. I have grown up on the soccer field and I have practically been playing soccer my whole entire life; in fact soccer has become a sport that brings my family together. Unfortunately, my parents live in the Bay Area, and my sister in Los Angeles. Luckily, my friends and my boss Suzanne, who have become my family in San Diego, shared the morning and my love of soccer, celebrating the USA Women's victory!After the game, I started to ponder the idea of Family. While doing this, I came across this quote:

Families are like fudge - mostly sweet with a few nuts. ~Author Unknown

Regardless of who your family consists of, whether it be family members who are blood related, friends, roommates, bosses or pets, it is important to keep life sweet and a little nutty by always having your fudge near by!

The Singer family, who exude characteristics of fudge, sweet in flavor and rich in love are a great example of what family is about!

Who is Jessica from the Wanderers?

I had no idea who Jessica was until I started interning at She Wanders Wedding Photography Studio. Funny enough, she attends the same University as I, University of San Diego, as well as shares a number of mutual friends. She was the first intern I met when I came to work for Suzanne and I was immediately taken away by her warm-hearted nature.Recently Jessica has become a regular on the SheWanders blog. Both Jessica and I have been sharing our voices on the blog and consider ourselves a team of "Wanderers." I thought it would be fun for you guys to get to know her a little better! Enjoy!
