be different

It is a lovely morning in our little town. The sun is shining and it is pleasantly cool, not freezing.
Today, after hot cocoa and cupcakes, I think we should all do something out of the ordinary . One day, many years ago, my oldest daughter decided to wear her pants inside out to school . Understand, she attended a very conservative school where folks just didn't do things like that. At first, I thought about asking her to reconsider, but then I decided that it took a lot of courage to be that different and I really admired her for her creativity. Years passed and we have seen pink, purple, and blue hair, robes tied around her waist as a skirt, and headbands worn every way BUT the way they were made to be worn. She is still a little different and I am ever so thankful. Her tiny little gesture of originality has turned into a river of uniqueness that I celebrate.

Now I am not suggesting that we all wear our clothes inside out, but I am hoping that we can all be a little more comfortable with who we really are and celebrate the uniqueness that we embody. I happen to love pink flamingos(yes! the tacky ones) I fill my life with them. They make ME happy and I find that when I am happiest, I am able to pass that happiness onto others. That is what we hope to do at Alice and Jay-Open your eyes to a new way of seeing, Open your mind to a new way of thinking, and open your soul to the infinite colors of the imagination. Be different-it is a whole lot more FUN!
