Words to Ponder

June 14, 2016 by Gina Marie

“As someone who has been on this planet for 58 years this lifetime, I can tell you that there have always been frightening world problems. If you focus upon these problems, you will miss out on joy. If you fear the future, you will think improving your life is futile. If you’re waiting until there’s a magical peaceful moment in the world, you will miss out on the many peaceful moments in your personal world.  Life goes by SO fast! […]

Uplifting Thoughts

March 30, 2016 by Gina Marie

I’m determined to remain teachable . . . 1) For an entirely new perspective, look up. See what beauty might be found aloft.  2) Be the beacon of light that shines in the darkness, in the chaos, in the ever-changing kaleidoscope of seasons and locations. 3) Each molecule is infused with the infinite.  4) Speak your truth, even if your voice shakes.  5) When day turns to night and the temperatures drop, there is beauty yet to be found. 6) Dare […]

Beautiful Thoughts

March 26, 2016 by Gina Marie

The wisdom of others teaches us how  . . . 1) We each have a human body that lasts a hundred years if we are lucky. Every moment, every interaction, every day we are given the opportunity to learn from each other. The most difficult situations can be our greatest teachers. 2) Companionship is present in our lives in many forms. We are never truly alone.   3) The sight of the sky is a reminder of freedom, expansiveness, and possibility.   […]

Patrick Kelly: Runway of Love

August 24, 2014 by Gina Marie

Without ever forgetting his Deep South roots, African-American clothing designer Patrick Kelly left his imprint on the Paris fashion world in the mid 1980’s. Kelly’s talent, drive, and the financial support of influential friends converged on his pathway to success. In 1988, he was admitted as first person of color and the first American to the Fédération française de la couture, du prêt-à-porter des couturiers et des créateurs de mode (English: French Federation of Fashion and of Ready-to-Wear Couturiers and […]

Life, Passion, Inspiration: An Interview with Photographer Angela Wahlgren

March 8, 2014 by Gina Marie

From time to time, one stumbles across an image which captures with penetrating clarity a single moment in time. All drama has been lifted away and what remains is the visual equivalent of water from a crystalline mountain stream. Viewing photographer/poet Angela Wahlgren’s work, one gets this sense entirely. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? AW: I was born in Germany, and stayed there through my college education as well as for a couple of years thereafter as […]

The Perfection of a Single, Falling Leaf

November 4, 2013 by Gina Marie

The Wissahickon Valley in Philadelphia’s northwest corridor has inspired creatives for centuries. Following are a few gifts–in the form of words and images–bestowed to me by the wild and wonderful Wissahickon. Contemplate the perfection of a single falling leaf: unannounced, unassuming like a simple, solitary sage who’s reached his expiration. The time comes to let go, to free fall–spin round and round– drawing circles from sky to ground, landing atop carpets of brown, orange, magenta. Time’s passage weathers one to a […]

Taking Risks in Art and Fashion

August 15, 2013 by Gina Marie

“I loathe fashion. I want to dress in a way that is becoming to me, whether it is the style of the hour or not. So it should be with all women, in my opinion.” -Natacha Rambova Creativity comes in handy, sometimes unexpectedly. I recently brought home a pair of wedge sandals with metallic khaki straps. Although I’d loved them in the store, the novelty soon wore off. Rather than bring them back, however, I decided to turn them into […]
