Tory and I took the last few days to just relax and enjoy each other and our friends. This morning I have been alone and resting for the first time in at least a month. I am realigning my priorities. I am moved by music, by the world and the human condition.</p> <p>Rebecca, Ryan, Tory and I watched Beasts of the Southern Wild before we headed our separate ways again. It was the perfect film to reconnect with my emotional space and allow it to be free and in wonder of the world. The feeling has carried over into the rest of my life because I’ve given myself back the space to feel and wander and rest.</p> <p>I am back. I am listening to my Fa!th playlist on Grooveshark. I am moved.</p>http://balanceandcomposition.tumblr.com/post/32271120916http://balanceandcomposition.tumblr.com/post/32271120916Tue, 25 Sep 2012 12:57:00 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mavc3lwq7I1rty6zwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>See the full review of the show <a href="http://blogs.citypages.com/dressingroom/2012/09/envision_artopia_fashion_review.php?ref=navigation" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</p>http://balanceandcomposition.tumblr.com/post/32209311913http://balanceandcomposition.tumblr.com/post/32209311913Mon, 24 Sep 2012 14:14:00 -0500DeLange Designsenvisionmplsmspfwcitypages<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma8u38laiF1rty6zwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45649851@N00/5709067274/" title="Jen">Jen</a> by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45649851@N00/">Natalie Pluck</a> on Flickr.</p><p>Major inspiration.
