at long last!

hello dolls!
i'm back! i can hardly believe it has been nearly six months since my last post. although i'm still posting regularly at Sunrose Yoga, i have dearly missed my time here on the whale-love blog. so, what is new, you might be wondering...
we are expecting a baby girl sometime around march 1, so i've been growing & growing.

we traveled! (the san juan islands, california, south carolina, st. louis--i logged a lot of flight time before calling it quits for the remainder of my pregnancy.)

i've been sewing and creating up a storm.

my camera was broken (& then in the shop) for about 3 months (boo.).
we hosted a big-time vegan-ish thanksgiving.

i taught yoga through my 7th month of pregnancy.

we moved our house from seattle back to portland.
we celebrated winter solstice in front of the fireplace.
we rang in the new year with portland friends.
we are preparing ourselves and our new (but very old) house for baby-time!

how about you?

family time

dears, since we last spoke, i had some family time back in the midwest. it was lovely. here are some of my memories.




Sorry for the hiatus. I came back from our trip with a coughy-cold and have been slow to recover. I'm back now... for at least a bit.

inspiration tuesday. oregon coast.

Midnight. No waves,
no wind, the empty boat
is flooded with moonlight.
-Dogen.

{memories from my weekend away in oregon.}

Inspiration Tuesday. Mystical Dances.

{Milad Tower, Tehran.}

{Kurdistan.}

{Young Muslim Woman Reading.}

{The Temple.}

{Camels, Goats & Saluki in Kuwait.}

{I am back home...with Emirate.}

Oh, hello. I did not forget about our Tuesday date, although I'm feeling foggy from my raw vegan cleanse. Believe it or not, these are all inspired by my new love of bellydancing. You can connect with more images on this theme in this gallery I created called Mystical Dances.

Peace. & LOVE. Always.

*hello. friends.*

hello, out there.

it's been ages since i've been here.

i had a notion yesterday that it is time for me to return to the kelly loves whales blog. high-time indeed.

*

so.

*

hello again.

*

i think that the format of this blog may change a bit, more writing, more whales. more infusion of where i've been on my yogic journey.

*

when i began this blog three years ago (three years ago!), my intentions were to begin to paint again. my intentions have shifted, expanded. i want this to be a space where i can create meaningful work (written, filmed, drawn, painted, moved, whatevered) about the issues that move me.

*

thanks for joining me.

BLESSINGS.

well.. hello there.

i've been away.
i've been internet-quiet.

i've been on an adventure that looks like

yoga.
music.
art-making.
food-tasting.
big-planning.
friend-hugging.
wide-open-eye-wandering.
quiet.
sleep.
breathe.
smile.

i know i will have more to say at some point, but for now...

ciao!

post-701.whooooo!

dears, happy wednesday. i thought today would be fun to share a few of my favorite photos from my yoga photo shoot. sending you sunshine.
loves.

hello hello.

darlings,
hello! what happened to me? well, i've been busy hosting a guest from American Samoa for over a week. we have been exploring all seattle together + enjoying the fall weather. i have also been making things. super exciting things. things i cannot wait to share with you.
and
i had a yoga photo-shoot on lake washington, so my podcasts will look even more polished. (a new episode drops on friday.)
my heart is bursting with things to share with you... insights i've had while meditating this week. in due time, though.
until then,
peace. & LOVE. always.
