Hi everyone! We have both been bouncing around the western part of the country this weekend spending time with old friends. It has been great. Hope everyone has an awesome week!

Pulling an Osho tarot card has been somewhat of an ongoing joke between Lauren and me as it used to be our mom’s suggested solution to any problem. Somehow, however, we have both slowly incorporated it into our lives.
If you are into it, just go to the Osho site and pick a card. For what it is worth, this is the one I picked this morning.
Only if your meditation has brought you a light that shines in every night will even death not be a death to you but a door to the divine. With the light in your heart, death itself is transformed into a door, and you enter into the universal spirit; you become one with the ocean. And unless you know the oceanic experience, you have lived in vain. Now is always the time, and the fruit is always ripe. You just need to gather courage to enter into your inner forest. The fruit is always ripe and the time is always the right time. There is no such thing as wrong time.
Osho A Sudden Clash of Thunder Chapter 6
Commentary:
When the fruit is ripe, it drops from the tree by itself. One moment it hangs by a thread from the branches of the tree, bursting with juice. The next moment it falls–not because it has been forced to fall, or has made the effort to jump, but because the tree has recognized its ripeness and simply let it go. When this card appears in a reading it indicates that you are ready to share your inner riches, your ‘juice’. All you need to do is relax right where you are, and be willing for it to happen. This sharing of yourself, this expression of your creativity, can come in many ways–in your work, your relationships, your everyday life experiences. No special preparation or effort on your part is required. It is simply the right time.

As you know, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner (or if you don’t: it is tomorrow). To jump-start all of our hearts, we have a lovely post for you today courtesy of my multi-talented friend, Christina Soriano. Christina is an artist and art teacher living in Manhattan’s East Village. Thanks, Christina, for spreading the love! xo

Love is in the air! Over the past few days I couldn’t help but notice the vast amount of hearts and pink around me. Fortunately, I dig any holiday that allows for making cards…and themed baked goods. Here’s what you can do to have a sweet Valentine’s Day:
1. Make Valentines, of course. Here are some I made the night of the big “blizzard” aka nemo.
2. Host a Valentine-making party! I worked with some 3 year olds this weekend and here is one masterpiece in the making.
3. Go on a Valentine’s cookie hunt. These delectable treats came from News Café in Union Square and Crumbs.
4. Meet a beautiful stranger and buy them a box of custom sweets from Zucker Bakery on East 9th st.
5. Or go to your local drugstore and get one of these. Love is packaged in all sorts of ways!
Have a lovely holiday! Keep in touch!

We’re both feeling a bit distracted over here this week. With our attention scattered in a few different directions, we decided to each take a moment and set an intention for the days ahead.

Farrell:
Release all fears. Embrace the generosity of others. And relax into the moment.

Lauren:
Don’t take anything too seriously. Have fun with whatever is.
An eventful weekend, no?! Hoping however yours went, you’re feeling refreshed and ready for the week ahead. As you know, every Monday we post the pictures you send us – and often throw in a few of our own. Hope you enjoy this week’s batch.
