Just another beautiful day in San Diego...

I spent a warm and pleasant afternoon in the western portion of Point Loma. Ate lunch at a great local bakery called Con Pane on Rosecrans. They make incredible bread and one of my favorite indulgences is their grilled cheese sandwich – melted brie and gorgonzola on thick slices of rosemary bread. Delicious but certainly not lo-cal. If you go by there you should stop at the new Fresh & Easy market. I would describe it as the anti-Costco. Now, don't misunderstand, I am a fan of Costco's wide aisle's, endless samples, affordable prices and giant tubs of candy, but I live in a tiny apartment with just 1 other person so I really don't have anywhere to put 500 rolls of toilet paper. Fresh & Easy is more of a European-style market with it's real-person sized products, everthing with in reach and affordable pricing. The idea is that you should be able to run and run out with something for dinner that night.

After my tasty grilled cheese and before going to the market I took a nice stroll along the small, but lovely Shelter Island and took a few shots. It was very pleasant to walk in the warm sun and watch sail boats and birds go by.

YSC Fundraiser

The Young Survival Coalition is a group of women under 40 who have survived breast cancer. They're goal is to educate physicians as well as newly diagnosed women about the specific concerns that young women have. The concerns of a woman who is 30 (marriage, pregnancy, etc) are not the same concerns of a woman of 60. They work tirelessly to provide education and support to the San Diego community in general about breast cancer. Today they held a fund raising luncheon in Rancho Santa Fe and I was there supporting friends and taking some photos of the event. There was a lot of smiling faces, a lot of pink and a whole lot of great prizes to be raffled off.

This is a reminder to all women out there - make sure to Feel Your Boobies!

The Solution Deck

I have mentioned my talented friend Andrew Rossillo before, but this time it's in relation to an interesting job he brought to my table. He's been working closely with Alexandra Holmes, a life strategist and consultant with a twist. I immediately liked her because she believes that we are the sum of our life choices and that if you don't like your life, then make other choices. She created this deck of cards that combines a little bit of the mystical with self empowerment. Even if they don't help you make that important decision, they are a beautiful set of illustrated cards in a rich red textured box and I just love the gold debossed text.
