A Watchful Eye

Several years ago, standing on the Broadway platform and waiting for the 'L' to arrive and take me to work, I was brainstorming a name for a side business I was hoping to create.  This side business was to involve a number of different creative mediums, but all of them centered around one concept -- the details of life that when observed and noticed are beautifully simple and yet still sophisticated.  In describing my thoughts and focus of work to my oldest brother, he gave me the name "Fundamentally Sophisticated."  Thanks, Brian!

As I mentioned, this was several years ago.  I've used the name to sell jewelry, photography, and such to friends and family, but it's time to get serious.  My thought is that if I begin a blog, there may be a person or two out there who help hold me accountable for taking the next steps.

Now some of you may be wondering why all of this has taken so long.  There are always excuses, so of course I have one!  All of this is an endeavor for me that is happening in my "free" time. As a teacher, I've found that this so called "free" time quickly disappears with making lesson plans, grading papers, spending time tutoring after school, going to meetings, and so on and so on.  And so it is for almost any occupation, I'd guess.  I'm working to be more efficient with how I spend my time!  And hopefully you'll see that with upcoming posts!

Hope you have a great day and that your watchful eye captures a moment of wonder!
