my guardian angel.

guardian angels...

we all have them. i believe that. mine is my great uncle bobby, pictured below. he was an amazing artist and teacher. he was obsessed with white (i think he passed that trait down to me) and painted everything in his life that color (is it really a color?). he also took such good care of all of the women in his family and brought so much laughter and love into our lives.


when i seek guidance in life and look to a higher place, i often think of him and feel him watching over me.

his birthday is today...on independence day. so today my yoga practice will be in honor of him.

happy 4th of july!

bracelets.

i got creative recently. i had a bunch of chunky...and not so chunky bracelets that i never wore, mainly because they were hidden in my dresser. so i put to use a black wrought iron paper towel holder. it lives on top of my dresser and now displays all of my bracelets.

just today, i added another one to the stack... a beautiful handmade mala bracelet from a dear friend and yogini of mine. well, actually, it was made by her sons. so thoughtful!

a special place.

a very special place to soak in some summer sun...


it took getting my car over some BIG puddles. But so worth it in the end.
