surrendering to the moment

I am feeling a deep surrendering...a letting go. Of old, tired, worn out stories that don't serve me anymore. Of broken ideas + ways of being that are...boring + heavy and played out. I feel a deep need to simply
BE. HERE. NOW. The Be Your Own Beloved class with Vivienne McMaster is absolutely amazing and is opening up new doors within myself...new ways of seeing + being + playing. The class community is really so warm and wonderful and...loving. And Vivienne's daily prompts are... freeing, challenging, daring!!! I totally recommend this class to anyone looking to further their photography and self care.

 Mothers Day was so amazingly sweet + simple around here. Tim and Tara made me a wonderful brunch...we ate + talked + laughed + sat in the sun + took a nap.  Barefoot and happy:) These are the memories I will forever keep in my heart.

Spring is in the air, I completely rearranged my studio...birds are chirping and...just feeling so good about life! xxx

be. here. now.

"Sometimes I need

only to stand

wherever I am
to be blessed."

This is what my mantra is for the month...be here now. I want to soak into every single moment. relax and..rest. catch up on some summer reading. sip iced water. be wild. lay on the grass. wear shortie-short skirts. eat a poem for breakfast. walk in the ocean. feast on gratitude. play with my altered book goodies. laugh more. go to bed early. meditate.  slip into sensual. break open my heart...everyday. soak up the sun. dream impossible dreams. go barefoot as much as possible.  throw a certain amount of commonsense out the backdoor. bathe mySELF in kindness. love fully.

just. be.here.now.
