    Though a day late, this is my Valentine’s Day post. I was unable to get around to it yesterday for the very best of reasons: I was wrapped up in each minute that I got to spend with my love … he has a way of creating space for the moment… he has a calm sort of magic to him… a master of the art of the slowdown, the savor, + the subtle shift that the best kind of love feels like.

    I operate in the bold + the bright, the black + the white, the contrast + the commitment.  He is a watercolor + a soft wash, all kinds of gorgeous gray, afternoon light + summer shade. I am the absolute + he is the in between… without the other, our spectrum would be incomplete + missing so much beauty. I am so grateful for this man… and for the way he fills in the pieces of my world.

    I have not been the kind of person who is prone to missing people.

    I’ve been a trust-in-the-bigger-plan type of person + I accept that people have wonderfully complicated paths + purposes that cause them to come + go and jump around this beautiful planet of ours.

    As an entrepreneur, I really light up when I encounter like minded souls.  The souls running Story Bikes + Parker Clay fit the bill.

    California dreaming… and cocktails overlooking the harbor.  Precisely where this dress took me.

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LITTLE SISTER

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LITTLE SISTER

    little sister birthday
    Happy birthday to my first friend. Happy birthday to my first soulmate. Happy birthday to my first love. Happy birthday to you, my little sister. You have a beauty that is immediately recognized by all… and the few who are lucky enough to have personal contact with you immediately recognize your internal beauty. Your heart is pure magic. You are one of the funniest people I know. You have a never ending sense of hope and optimism that is utterly contagious. You are the strongest gentle soul imaginable… it isn’t an oxymoron; there is tremendous strength in your gentle spirit and it continually renders me awestruck. Even though you are younger (and shorter 😉), I look up to you in so many ways… as you enter the next chapter of your life (you’re getting married, Bright Eyes!!!), I know that you’ll do so with a casual grace that only you possess. I can’t wait to stand by your side on that gorgeous day. Thank you, Earth Angel, for blessing us with so much. I love you. I love you. I love you. I hope that 29 is the best year yet. And I hope that each following year is full of more color, laughter, love, and celebration than you can imagine. I’ve loved you for each second of every moment that you’ve walked this earth and I will continue to love you more with each passing day ❤
