In addition to alliterate triptychs being a frequent happy in my life (english nerd), I have quite a fondness for a beautiful performance of two, three, numerous, great songs compiled into one, usually resulting in a mushroom cloud of awesome that will, no doubt, infect you for (hopefully) the rest of your life. I found this medley about a month ago but I revisited it today and although it distracted me from studying for my midterm that I had this evening, I cannot help but smile every time I hear these lovely ladies sing.
Now, before I post this smile I'm going to give a little crash course on who you will be listening to in a few short moments. The wonderful, amazing, brilliant ladies in this video are Allison Case, Katie Kiyan, and Kacie Sheik - all from the incredible Tribe from the revival of HAIR, currently on Broadway (www.hairbroadway.com).
[sidebar: I can guarantee that I will mention HAIR or Allison Case in this blog in about 75% of the entires because Allison is kinda, really the inspiration for this blog. She's a ray of sunshine and truly one of the daily happies in my life, and if it weren't for HAIR then I wouldn't know who she is and this blog wouldn't exist and that would just be tragic. If you don't believe in how wonderful she is, please check out her blog or her twitter and see for yourself.]
I have had the privilege of meeting all of these girls and they're all truly amazing and inspiring. I hope you feel the same.
peace.love.smile.

Today's Smile
When I'm stressed, tired, or too much of both and cannot get to sleep, I like to make lists. Whether it's a grocery list or a list of all of the books I've read this year - I find it comforting. About two weeks ago I was having trouble sleeping so I got about my baby Moleskine notebook and started a list... a list of things that make me smile.
This list came so easily to me and before I knew it my list was upwards of 100 things. That's when I got the idea for this blog. On a (hopefully) regular basis I'm going to be updating this blog with an item from my list that will, of course, continue to grow. The "smile" that I will post could be specific to the day like red cups or the first snow, or even just something completely random, like the smell of fall.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this blog. Most of the time its the little things that make the difference in your day. I'm learning to notice them, and I hope that from reading this blog, you too will learn to smile at the small stuff.
peace. love. smile.
