Posi posts!

After the tragedy at Sandy Hook I felt the dire need to do SOMETHING. Something positive, not only for me but for everyone. We are all on edge now and all maybe frightened, sad, nervous….. the gambit of emotions. While I cant take anyones pain away, I have my images, and I thought, if I can make ONE person Smile… ONE person have a better day than I will feel better. So this is my effort, and I hope you will join me. I will be making new “posi posts” Im printing them and leaving them around town for random strangers to find. I encourage them to take them for themselves or give it to someone who might need a little inspiration for the day, no matter what you do with it, just pay the smile forward. 

we are one human race. and we should bond together in times of need, instead of fighting. feel free to share my posts, or make your own and share with me!

Just spread some love! Be the Reason for someones smile!

East Rock Doors

3 years ago I moved into the East Rock neighborhood of New Haven with my boyfriend. We have loved every single minute of it! East Rock always has so much going on, Tag sales every weekend through out the neighborhood, Orange Street Market for lunch outside, Lulu's for coffee in the morning, and all just a short walk around the corner from wherever you might live in East Rock! So you can imagine how difficult it will be for us to pack our things and close this East Rock door, in order for us to be able to open our next door, and opportunity some place else. I have been so in love with the different houses and colors and fun little details of this neighborhood since I moved here, that I spent the better part of my 3 years here taking pictures of each front door. I finally felt that I had a significant enough collection to ask Lulu's coffee shop  to let me hang my doors for all of the community to see, I couldn't think of anything more appropriate for my last few weeks here! So heres a look at a few doors! but if you are in the area stop by and grab a coffee and take a moment to relax in my amazing neighborhood and check out "The Doors of East Rock" (and My "I Just Want to be a Woman" series) first hand!
