I had a hard time putting this post together last night.  By now I'm sure you've heard the tragic news about Heath Ledgers death.  To say it has effected me would be to put it mildly.  I don't know why it has had such a profound impact on me, but it just has.  I have always loved his work and it is just surreal to me that he is gone.  So young... younger than me even, and with a sweet daughter too.  The world has lost a lovely and talented person!
Ack... it just really breaks my heart.  I can't even imagine the grief his family and loved ones must be going through.  I'm wishing them peace in this horrible time.

It seems so wrong to shift gears here, but I personally have to pick up my head and move forward... forward motion is the only healthy solution.
So, that being said (sorry to start with the sad stuff) here's a compilation of beautiful things in reds, pinks, black, and gold... these colors are still inspiring me (could be that the upcoming Valentine's Day has me in it's hold).  Thanks for reading.
