what’s the new new…

Are 30′s the new 20′s? I am starting to think about all the little details for my 30th birthday coming up… I am planning on throwing (myself) a huge party to really prove the statement I’ve been hearing – 30′s are the new 20′s.  I’m not really that scared of turning 30.  I find myself [...]


creating yourself

I am settling back into life after having a good friend out in Maui for the past week.  My friend Kody has been out (on his once a year vacation), taking in the sites, sounds and inspirations of Maui for the last week.  I do love having company, but most of the time I get [...]

just another day

ho hum.  it’s just another day.  it’s neither sunny nor rainy.  they clouds look fierce, but hang just over the sky enough to intimidate.  the wind rattles the trees and the air is cool.  the plants in my garden shiver.  I woke up this morning feeling grey… grey like the day outside.  I think that’s [...]
