Breakfast with Heather Taylor
“On a normal day I wake up around 6AM, make some coffee and do a bit of computer work before getting ready for my morning workout – either yoga, spinning or a hike. Being active centers me and prepares me for a long work day. If I don’t have an early meeting, I come home after exercising and make breakfast. Usually it’s a hard boiled egg with avocado toast or a fried egg with a tortilla and salsa. If I’m in the mood for something lighter, I’ll make a smoothie – either a Date Shake or a Kale Coconut smoothie. Right now, our blueberry plants are producing a lot of fruit so I’ve been picking fresh berries from my garden every morning. On my favorite days I get to cook breakfast for my husband and we sit outside reading the paper and enjoying the sunshine.” – Heather

Random Thoughts // We Are Stronger Than We Think
Someone once told me this: At the circus, a baby elephant is chained around its leg and the other end of the chain is tied to a metal stake on the ground. The chain and peg are strong enough for the baby elephant. As the baby elephant grows bigger and becomes an adult, it still believes that a simple chain and peg can stop him from running. Even though, the truth is, the elephant is strong enough to break and run free from the chain.
This story taught me a lot – how we chain ourselves to our parent’s believes, our own believes, and even other people’s believes. I recently read a book of an author’s memoir about an Italy road trip he did. It fascinated me! But someone said to me, “Don’t even think about it, you have a kid now and there’s no way you can do such a thing.” Now, I can either believe in what that person said and give up the thought or I can believe in myself that, even with a kid, I can do it.
The story is also a great reminder to myself, as a parent, that what I believe in doesn’t necessarily has to be my daughter’s. Other than teaching her right or wrong, I do my best to let her explore and experience life the way she wants. I wish she can always stay true to herself as she’s growing up.

Palihouse
Had a meeting with Palihouse yesterday and I couldn’t stop myself from photographing it. And have you seen the lunch I had with Joy?
