Groundhog Day!!!
The plot is simple. A haughty weatherman finds himself stuck in a small town, re-living the same horrendous day over and over again. It is definitely a classic, and Bill Murray is certainly hilarious, but is there more to the tale? Forgive my obsession with hidden messages, but a favored English professor of mine turned it on and I have failed to find the “off” switch. Is Harold Ramis (the director) simply telling an ironic tale of a morose man stuck in his proverbial hell, a quaint town worlds away from the big city celebrity he believes himself to be? Or is this story more representative of the greater population during this time of year? 1. Create a goal. I know; the obvious. But seriously, write it down. Tape it to your mirror, and force yourself to be accountable. If you have a tendency to let things fall through the cracks, start small. Read a chapter a day of a book or walk 2 days a week for a month. Slowly increase these goals. 2. Do something for someone else every day. Even if it is pouring a cup of coffee for your husband or your roommate, it will make them feel good and make you feel good in the process! 3. Eat cleaner. Limit refined carbs and fatty foods and try and eat as fresh and pesticide/additive free as possible. It helps energy levels immensely. 4. Refresh your surroundings. Spring cleaning is typically the time when we get changes in our homes, but you will be pleasantly surprised at the great discounts you can get this time of year. And clean out the clutter! Seriously, get an honest friend to question your stuff. It is hard to hear, and hard to do, but let me tell you-once have completed an overhaul, it is so much easier to keep house! (Clean house is a great inspiration for this too!) 5. Last but not least, find someone who will hold you Ok campers, Rise and Shine, and don’t forget your booties because its coooolllddd out there today! (but remember, spring is just around the cornerJ)

Winter 2010 Product Line Debut!
Happy New Year! Alright, so I know it has been quite sometime since I updated this blog (a definite resolution for 2010)-but for good reason! Meg, Lorna and I have been working relentlessly trying to complete our new line for 2010 which, I must say, is my favorite so far! Our artist, Megan has done such a fabulous job creating murals that are not only unique, but exciting! With 30 new designs from our Dance Shadows and Fighter Plans to Poppies or World Map, there is something for everyone! I wanted to give you a taste of some of my favorites. A special thanks to Jennifer Meinking our website guru for making our products look as fabulous as they are! |
2010 is certainly shaping up to be an amazing year for Trace Designs. We have welcomed many new retailers in 2009 and are looking forward to many more in including Wallies in February!
