The Dress and Working it in

One should never try to second-guess oneself. Here I am again, already, with a quick note. I didn't get up at 3 am to watch the royal wedding from Central Texas but have seen some of the highlights. Who could not love Kate's dress (an Alexander McQueen by Sarah Burton) ? Wow. That's just how I pictured her - elegantly understated. All cream silk and English lace. It's the "unfairytale" fairytale. The dress also seems to suggest a renaissance in the British Monarchy . That resonates with me, anyway, for Kate & Will's long lasting true love and happiness. May it not JUST be a fairytale. I especially adore Kate's dress because it looks so much like my mother's.

Writing wise, yesterday I interviewed an absolutely brilliant investment advisor for a feature article I'm writing - (link to follow). It's the cover story. Without telling you who it is, he has developed his skills to a level of excellence that's inspiring. We talked about The Art of War (also a movie industry favorite) and tactical strategies in the global investment market. It's was an unexpectedly exciting, upbeat conversation about an "always on" industry, like television, with billions globally on the line - in real-time. It lifted my energy and raises the bar for me to write about him.

Today I'm wrapping research and starting the first draft of that story. Plenty of time to blog and do Tai Chi Chih . It's a beautiful day. I believe Kate and Will play a dynamic role in global consciousness and the collective imagination. Three cheers to for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Best, best wishes! All is well in the kingdom.
