friday, i'm in love

with my chia-muesli breakfast.

{to make: soak 1T. chia seeds in 9T. rice milk for 20+ minutes, then mix in homemade muesli mix of oats, cheerios, corn flakes and dried blueberries.}

it's positively delicious.

la la la monday.

darlings,
thank you so so much for the sweet birthday wishes. it was as de-lish a day as ever {i ate my weight in Indian food, chocolate cake + macaroons}. it's definitely official, i am thirty-one. on with the show!

this weekend i...

*made major strides on a secret new project that will launch in the next week {more to be revealed soon, but hints may come up in my tweets}.

*organized our multi-media bureau as i cleaned the house from top to bottom {i love to embark on organizational projects. it pleases me to no end. now, i just need to keep it organized!}.

*had two magical cocktails at Barrio. {grapefruit soda + tequila + lime + salt = holy mother of yum}.

* enjoyed the sweet, colorful costumes for the gay pride events in our sister neighborhood.
added a few new seeds and starts to my urban garden retreat. {jasmine, another lavender, more pink poppies + something that will attract the hummingbirds. i did unwittingly run errands with dirt smeared on my cheeks, but no matter.}

how about you?
peace. & LOVE. always.

wind-swept wednesday.

Things I love right now:
Lavender-scented wind,
Cookies,
Plotting new plans,
Learning new skills {podcasting is happening!},
Hoping for a wonderful birthday,
Life unsaturated,
All of my amazing friends and family,
Reading before sleep,
Open windows,
Reflecting…introspecting.

*) wishing you a lovely Wednesday night.

la la la monday.

this weekend,i . . .

enjoyed life without a t.v. {we are analog & didn't make the switch.}
ate yummy seafood pasta at la rustica and watched the sun set over the Olympic mountains.
planned some communal raised beds with our sweet sweet neighbors. {you know i love to garden.}
listened to lots and lots of music. {especially loving making art while listening to yoga mixes my friend bekah made me.}
made tons and tons {okay, maybe not tons and tons, but quite a few} digi-collages.

essentially, i recharged the batteries. how about you?

wind in the willows.

i've mentioned my daily inspiration lists before. they are, in a sense, my everyday connection to my creative life. just by writing or doodling 10 things that move me every single day has had the power of keeping creative fires burning even when i'm deeply immersed in more analytical endeavors. here is a peek at what i love right now.
