U of Spark

I started a "new" blog, I re-designed it (from my personal blog Cupcake) and added wallpaper and painted it all pretty, I re-named it U of Spark--as in University of (all things) Sparking (and creative)...


And I said to myself, "This will be about creativity and authenticity and, and stuff. Lots and lots of cool stuff."

Aaaand then I remembered that's pretty much what this blog Those Kennedy Women was/is supposed to be: 

Doing things better, funner, brighter. More creatively.

And then I said to myself, "Hey, do I reallyreallyReally want to manage two blogs?"

I was a sometime blogger (at best) for quite some time with both blogs. Now, I'm kinda proud of some content over at my old blog Cupcake, re-named U of Spark, so, I'll probably re-post some of things here...but I won't be adding new content over there.

Of course, I've met me and know how I roll--so "never" is a word I try not to use. But, in the foreseeable future I won't post anything new at my old blog--except to say, I'll be posting here! Got that?

So, shine-up your awesome selves and join us as we aim to live:

 a creative life

a positive life

an exuberant life

a laughier life

a stylish life

a full life

a diy-er life

a doing life

Here's the link at  U of Spark  to what I wished I blogged about more! Which got me all excited about this blog again...so, it's all good! Because, we'll be posting that stuff and this stuff and basically all the good stuff!

Do you ever re-do stuff--or do twice what you need to?

It’s the STUFF that Dreams are made of…

Stuff is probably the one thing we all have in common.

 The Stuff starts to accumulate when you decide to move out of your

 parent’s home, and into your own apartment. Now that you have your own space,

 the first thing you need to do is to fill it with your own stuff.

You decide what kind of stuff you want.

  Remember your stuff is an expression of your style. You also have to

 decide, right up front, what stuff will be displayed and what stuff will be put in

 kitchen cupboards or in drawers. Usually, anything that is functional is put behind

 doors or in drawers. 

When you start out to collect stuff, you have many styles to choose from.

 You can decorate with Victorian, French Country, Contemporary, Primitive, or

 Colonial, stuff.   

Keep in mind, your stuff reflects who you are.

There may come a time when you get bored with your stuff, and want new stuff.

 You can give your old stuff to family or friends, who like your stuff, or

donate to the Goodwill, or the Salvation Army – they like stuff too.  And while

you’re there, you might as well browse on the off chance you’ll find some stuff

you don’t have.

Finally, the day comes when you start thinking about downsizing your

space, and moving into something smaller.  You now (again) have to decide what

stuff you’ll sell, give away to family, friends or donate.  

The there will always be stuff you just can’t part with. So you put the

 sentimental stuff in boxes and take it with you.

You finally arrive at your new space, and unpack your stuff.  You arrange

It in the space you now have. The stuff you don’t have room for can always be

 Boxed-up and stored in closets or under your bed. That my friends, is just the

 nature of stuff.

Question:  Is there more stuff in your future?
