a girl on a mission for self-love…with her four best friends in tow!

yesterday

yesterday i walked around san francisco.

all day.

in boots and orange tights.

with a very close friend.

alight with deep happiness and warm from february sunshine.

then, something funny happened. last night. something out-of-character but so in-character.

i took a deep breath.

stepped into the middle of a circle ringed by people and more people — strangers.

and, in front of all these faces i did not know, i read my poetry.

aloud.

can we talk about fears that are irrational?
can we talk about how calm my heart felt in my chest as i performed?
can we talk about evolving?
can we talk about liberation?

can we talk about how fucking great i feel?

home

home again.

not too much to say outside of i love road trips.


my head is still in a wonky space but i’m working through all the clutter. life is good and i know this. it’s just a matter of consistently remembering it.

today, yesterday, and the day before that

after spending every day last week in the city, i kicked off the new week the only way i knew how…

in the city of course!

at the beach in particular (and the park. and the concrete avenues of the sunset district).

with a guy in particular.

on a particularly gorgeous day for san francisco in january




i woke up in a particularly good mood this morning.

see, the thing is this: a few days before new years i met someone new. well, actually, i re-met him. but the other day marked the first time we ever legitimately kicked it. can i just say i have never felt more of a connection to another person so quickly? is that weird? maybe don’t answer that. :)

regardless, the past couple of days have left me stupid-happy and little girl giddy. i know not to carry myself too far off into fantastical lands but a woman’s gotta dream a little dream, right? right. especially when this new guy is a (brilliant) spoken word poet, deeply soulful, honest, creative, and a male i feel comfortable enough with to call a man instead of a boy. tough thing to do at this age, or so i find. interactions feel fluid. i don’t feel the need to keep my guard up, around my personality or my body (though, nothing outside of the most excellent of cuddles has happened. i move sloooow.) my perspective is shifting as life shifts. something in the universe is supporting me and protecting me. i feel it. 2012 is bringing something special for the mind, body, soul, and heart.

now, if you’ll excuse me. i’ve got a room to clean and organize!

how has 2012 treated you so far?

chasing the sun

after work today i biked feverishly to catch the sunset.

i worked my way through nearly ten odd miles of golden lit paths, breathless against the bite of the wind and the far-away warmth of the sun. it felt good to feel my heart pumping madly.

i saw another super dope hawk!

and felt again the gratitude which lightens my days.

now i find myself dressed up and wearing make-up for the first time since burning man. it’s b-man decompression night up here! i.e: IMMA DANCE MY BOOTY OFF.

(northern) california love

i went solo hiking today.

broke in my hiking boots.

saw a squirrel.

and a hawk!

i live smack in the middle of a handful of state parks. if you don’t know much about sonoma county, know it is beautiful.

seriously beautiful.

that i love it.

and i’m so damn lucky to be here.
