It’s here, the annual WatchUsRoam 5 things for #IWD. This “holiday” is 103 years old and there is a lot of change to create, still. Set aside, worldwide, for women to be recognized, to feel the strength of the entire female tribe. We have come a long way on some women’s issues. But there is… Read More 5 Things to Educate Yourself on International Women’s Day
It’s March! I keep on hoping for spring to just pop-up anytime now, so I’m trying to get into the spirit of lessening the heavy winter food, clothes, all of it. It’s still pretty chilly here in Seattle, but flowers are beginning to bud anyway and that’s always a good sign. For a litter healthier vibe… Read More Clean Spring Bars You Can Eat
Palm Springs. A private 1920’s hotel. Perfect weather. California glamor. Synchronized swimmers. Coozies. Flowers and palms. Pretty much all you need to know about the one of a kind wedding of my friend Ellen that we were lucky enough to get to attend a few months ago. It’s Valentine’s Day, and I thought, why not… Read More Palm Springs In The Name of Love

If someone would have told me last January 12th that the next day I would go on a date with my soul mate and never look back, I would have been so excited. (Warning, this is a sappy, sappy post.) I was already excited to… Read More The Journey of a Year
“Freedom, by definition, is people realizing they are their own leaders.” – Diane Nash I’ve recently felt like I shouldn’t be writing or posting because there are so many other more important things happening in our world right now. Writing all about me seemed selfish, like I didn’t deserve the right to do it when things… Read More A self help post for my tiny crumb of the interwebs: do better.
I’ve spent the last twelve (!) months focused on my 2016 word: ENGAGE. I dedicated every weekly yoga practice to it. I meditated on it. I focused on that word so intently it feels a little like abandonment to move to a new word for 2017. But if I’ve learned anything from choosing a word… Read More One Word for 2017
Wow, 2016 you’ve been something else. Not all bad, but a turbulent year for most for sure. We decided to move all the way across the country in the middle of this insane year, which only seems fitting to add to its absurdity. It’s turned out awesome for us though, so no complaints. What I… Read More Apartment Decor for the Girls (and unsolicited pictures of cats)
In about 24 hours we are heading down to SoCal from Seattle to hike, explore and camp in Joshua Tree National Park (still hitting up those National Parks for the 100th birthday) for two days, then going on to Palm Springs for a best friend, Ellen’s, wedding. While I’m loving Seattle, I’m more than excited… Read More A Toast To Palm Springs
Somehow in the process of trying to deny that things are always changing, we lose our sense of the sacredness of life. We tend to forget that we are part of the natural scheme of things. – Pema Chodron This post has been rumbling around inside of me for two months (not long after my… Read More Aurevoir Paris of the Plains – waving goodbye to KC from 30,000 feet up
I wanted to post these precious pictures of this baby that I happen to love very much tonight, because right now, the world could use a little sweetness added to it. Last month I got the amazing experience of taking this cutie’s photo. About 1,000 times. Along with some candid moments with his grandparents… Read More Baby Callan’s American Adventure
