 Dear Friends and Clients,
Here
in the desert, Spring is abounding everywhere. Just outside my back
door is a Century Plant which looks like a huge aloe vera. Shooting
out of the middle of it beginning 12 days ago is a large asparagus-like
stalk that will culminate in a massive bloom. Right now the stalk is
over 10 feet tall. Ten feet in 12 days, can you imagine that? It took
30 years to develop to this moment in time. Once the stalk reaches its
zenith, it will die and another will take its place. It seems to be a
metaphor for life: we grow mentally and emotionally so slow for so long
and suddenly something happens that catepults us into the next
dimension of our experience. We upscale if we are fortunate and willing
in our maturity and insight. May there be a symbol of Spring where you
are that is a reflection of your own growth. Enjoy our April
newsletter.

 April Fragrance Tip
Be completely ready to have your own custom fragrance designed:
Many of my customers misguidedly want a replication of an alcohol-based
commercial scent on the market or one that is no longer produced but
without the alcohol. I want you to think about how this is cheating
yourself from having something designed that is absolutely unique to
your personality. While I am very good at approximating commercial fragrances, I do not duplicate.
I am very willing to recreate a version of the former fragrance you
love but I will give it the special accent that is completely and only
you. I wouldn't want any thing less for you because you deserve a
distinctive scent that is your own personal atmosphere. Like each
sunset is different, so should be your custom fragrance.

 Recommending an Artist
Musician,
Namoli Brennet, is a Tucson-based and world-traveled artist who is an
amazing lyricist and singer. I have had the pleasure to hear her music
and photograph her at numerous events. Her lyrics convey life
experience, challenges, joys, and reconciliation. Her voice is a
velvety alto that speaks of a very deep knowing. Check out her web
site and music when you get the chance. You will be thankful you did.
