I’ve been pondering about what to write about this week as I’ve spent time processing the retreat I went on. So much happened, but a lot had to do with being at home in my body.

The messiness of the situation was

I got to visit the Huntington Gardens and Library for the first time today. It was a beautiful experience. My husband took me to afternoon tea to celebrate our third wedding anniversary. While we were there I was reminded of a past journal entry that I wanted to share with you all that revolved around flowers: I’m the rock, the stable one, the perfectionist…who knew that behind closed doors tenderness

Here are some of the pictures from this past weekend’s photo walk and the art book I started. The focus of my book became my workshops and what I want to share with women. It was an extremely moving process to express myself through painting and tearing paper as well as looking through the lens of camera. Enjoy! Yoga Lady Going Green There’s a little girl in all of us
