OLYMPICS!

Do you love the Olympics?  How can you not?!  I can't believe it's been 10 years since I attended the Salt Lake Olympics.  Check out this incredible picture taken by Luke MacGregor.  Go USA!

Ralph Lauren Olympic Collection

I LOVE the Olympics, and I love Ralph Lauren - so it's interesting that the two have been joined in the past couple of years. It's all so classic and all-American. (More expensive than when Roots was the outfitter, though...)

Olympic Victory Bouquets

I am really enjoying watching the Olympics - as always. Since I'm taking a floral arrangement class, I really noticed the victory bouquets. They are always lovely, and this year they are entirely green. I love monochromatic arrangements, and these are really great.

The Olympics

I know it's a little late to be talking about the Olympics, but I've been thinking about them. I have loved the Olympics for as long as I can remember and (living in Utah) was fortunate to be able to attend the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake. What an incredible experience. I find particularly inspiring the words of the Olympic Creed:

The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well. (attributed to Baron Pierre de Coubertin)
