All of me...
I’m sitting at my desk taking a short break and as I breathe I can feel my side ribs ache a tiny little bit from all the Chaturanga I did in class Sunday… I love the feel of that kind of muscle twinge, it reminds me I’m alive and makes me feel grateful for all of the things my body can do.
I love yoga - mostly because it challenges me to push myself to do things I have never done and...

Hindsight.
I was just talking on the phone with one of my dearest friends, who happened to set me up with my ex, who we’ll refer to as “the banker”. I’m not sure how the subject came up, but we had a conversation about how far I’ve come and what I’ve learned since parting ways.
I sometimes jokingly called the banker “Wall Street” and my nickname was...
It's a time suck.
I don’t actually know how I’ve been living here since October 15th and I’m not still moved in. Is it really March the 19th? How can that be? I feel as though I’ve entered a much faster moving parallel universe that keeps pulling me forward though I must be walking backwards through it.

So, I was deleting some old emails this evening and I came across this odd little morsel that I sent to my ex-fiance. It’s completely out of context and I have absolutely NO idea what on Earth I was talking about, but it made me chuckle anyway… hope you enjoy:
“I got a new one for ya - in case you need an alternative affirmative exclamation: “jingle my balls off...
Oh, Los Angeles...
Just watched the season premiere of “Californication” which I love. I’m not sure about this season just yet; the creators have taken my beloved Hank Moody down a pretty dark alley of late. I’m not going to give up hope though… not yet.
I’m a little surprised to have been so emotionally affected by a location as I was tonight, however. Living in Los Angeles...

My design obsession and the state of things...
Is it already November? Really? What the huh? On All Hallows Eve I took the bean girl trick or treating in a dress and a cardigan - and today the mercury rose to 100 degrees. My internal clock is all outta whack now, not to mention that the AC in my new digs needs repair and I’ve packed away all of my summer clothing to organize things in the closet. Speaking of which, I’m still...
I love this! →

Looking at my path in the rearview
Hello you. It’s been some time since I poured out a little bit of myself here, but a blog has been itchin’ to make its way off my fingertips for a few days now finally and so here I am, dusting off the weblog.
I’m smiling wide and hopeful today. Partly because the dang sun is leaving Cancer FINALLY and because things are inching towards clearer. I’ve taken some leaps,...

Diving down the rabbit hole.
So, I’ve lately I’ve been quite obsessively tracing my roots. With enormous loss often comes the deep desire to dig in and hold on. To figure things out. I had no idea when I started digging into the origins of my genetic code that I’d learn such amazing things.
For those of you just tuning in, this blog and it’s title grew from the aftermath of possibly one of the most...

Oh, but I SHALL covet. Yes, indeed I shall.
It’s sunny and a bit chilly in my apartment today and (hang on - need my earphones) as I endeavor to tackle my ever growing and never ending “to-do” list I’m puzzling over a greater plan. I like to call it my “keeping up with the zen-of-day-to-day-living while still managing to pursue my dreams” list.
Spinning plates, spinning order, and well, spinning have...
A few of my favorite things.
Another one from the archives.
Bloggity Blog 1. Whiskers on kittens. 2. Coffee. Sweet, rich, creamy, steamy coffee. 3. Snuggling up with my gal Lil. 4. A hot bath. (sometimes with a buddy). 5. The ocean. 6. Catching a glimpse of the ocean creatures come to play. (The other day we spied three dolphins and a seal. Magic.) 7. When one of my brilliantly funny friends says something that makes me...

Nothing's gonna change my world...
Rain rain rain rain rain… Across the Universe is thrumming through my thoughts and I’m in the midst of an enormous reorg. I’m gonna have to FDR the fuck out of my life I think. Which I say only partly in jest. Despite the obvious disorganization of it all there’s something brewing. I can’t see it yet. I can feel the tiniest flutter of growth in remote areas of my...
Thank you, Louise Labe.
Sonnet XVIII - O Kiss Me
O kiss me, kiss me, re-kiss me, and kiss! Be reckless, impudent, hot-headed, bold! O woo me! Pursue me! Kiss me like this: And I’ll give back fifty as hot as red coals. There, is it hurting? Come, let’s soothe the pain. I’ll give you sixty others just like these. And so we’ll kiss again and then again, While we enjoy each other at our ease. I know there’s fire...
Ancient-ish history: the tale of how I transformed... →
Fall of 2007 found me rabidly pursuing my dream of creating a Headless Marie Antoinette costume for Halloween. It was a challenging, expensive and at times humbling process. In the end, I didn’t end up finishing in time for Halloween, but went to a friend’s annual post Halloween costume party in November for it’s debut.
In the end the result wasn’t exactly what I had...
