Could you sum up your life one sentence? Apparently that is the theme of a new book called, “Drive: The Surprising Truth Behind What Motivates Us” by Daniel H. Pink. I haven’t actually read the book as I just heard about it on my drive to the shop today. But it made me think about a dinner conversation we had several years ago. We went around the table taking turns answering the question, “Describe you and your life in one word”. Each of us gave a somewhat uninspiring answer. But my daughter, Eloise, who was probably twelve at the time blew us all away.

“Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” she said.

While I wish I had been clever enough to come up with that as my answer it wouldn’t suit me as perfectly as it does Eloise. It has been about five years since that dinner and I am still trying to come up with my one word. It may take twenty years for a sentence.

Note: There is one word to describe the new MacBeth “McGlam” collection that just came in late today and that’s fabulous! Check back tomorrow as I will post pics of this great new-to-us decoupage line that can be personalized with names, monograms, colors, patterns, etc…
