What I Heart Today: Manifesto for a New Year

Welcome 2011! And welcome everyone from blogland, I've been so slow in getting back to work.  But what I have to share with you today should make up for it.  A manifesto for a new year from the spa at The Parker, Palm Springs (have you noticed my obsession with Palm Springs yet?):

We believe in the American country club experience: mixed doubles, a long steam, and a stiff cocktail.

We believe in inner beauty. But, do what you can on the outside.

We believe in old-world etiquette and new age simplicity.

We believe you can swim right after you eat.

We believe we should trust those seeking enlightenment and doubt those who claim to have found it.

We believe the earth is three-quarters water, and your body is three-quarters water, and... this is purely coincidence.

We believe in good sport as well as fitness: Pétanque and Pastis, Pimms Cup and Croquet, Snooker and single malt whiskey.

We believe you are only young once... but you can be immature forever.

Happy new year and I look forward to sharing this next year with all of you!
