I have made a new commitment to myself. I’ve decided I will do one thing every week to infuse more beauty and inspiration into my life. Last week I took my nearly 11-year-old niece to a local tea house for some much need “girl time” and giggles. This week my husband and I went to the Denver Botanical Gardens to see an amazing art installation by Dale Chihuly, a renowned glass artist from the Seattle area in Washington State.

Seeing his art amidst the flowerbeds and lily ponds was a bit like walking into a Dr. Seuss book. I found myself laughing and swooning at the creativity, the colors and the sheer brilliance of it all. I left feeling inspired and filled to the brim with new ideas and a new respect for the importance of art in our world.
