The persistence of flowing water brings a spirited energy to my heart. Humans are not just observers of the natural world, we a ARE PART OF it!
May we always find purpose and JOY in moving over, under, and around the static objects we encounter in life.

Good morning ☀️ I also just woke up and was looking for more information from the medical examiner. This was all I found in search results. Any updates or links you can share? TIA and for all you do! ✨
Community Response Following Kirk's death, there has been a significant public outpouring of grief. Vigils have been held across Utah, where community members gathered to honor his memory and express their condolences. The medical examiner's findings will likely play a role in the ongoing investigation and community discussions surrounding the incident.

As much as I didn’t NEED these, I’m so glad I found them!

I’m guessing if we read transcripts or listened to interviews as scripts, we’d all be less surprised of the content.

The directors have possibly taken this whole “all the world’s a stage” thing to new depths to keep up with the delivery of information through one’s chosen media. 🤷‍♀️

Visitor count is now about 30% of what is was at the height of the season.
Ferries to the islands are still running on summer schedule. Win-win!

Cloudy morning…smooth jazz on the Sonos…strong coffee in my cup…reading easy fiction and an afternoon nap my only commitments today. No more weirdness detected than per usual 😜

Happy new week, happy new month! ✨

I cut open the perfect avocado - a great start to any new chapter 🥑

Speaking of chapters, I also wrote more of my first book over the weekend! 📚

Living Joyfully in gratitude! 🙏 Dopamine is soooo dope! 😉✨

Speaking of ears, I’m still perturbed that we let the drama club slide on this awful performance back in 2024.
Has anyone checked to see if those actors went on to be successful in any other roles?

Things are difficult for many all over.
It’s still important to stop and appreciate craftsmanship made possible because of the the true workers of the world.

I so thoroughly enjoy reflecting on my travels while editing photos taken on my phone. Move slowly. Enjoy the journey. Art created by AI doesn’t give the same gift of reminiscence. 🙏✨

Fresh plums from my friend’s tree 😍 but I’m not sure how to best honor this gift of abundance.

I’m thinking of dehydrating some or making preserves to store longer than they will keep fresh, but I’ve never done either.

Back to The Googles I go… 😋

Still one of my favorite flashbacks to the year teaching Yin on the beach in SoCal. Unless it was pouring rain, we were there twice a week with the morning surf 🌊 🙏

Took a Sunday drive and ended up at this spot at the edge of a calm lake.

The breeze invigorated my tired soul, the sunshine warmed my bare shoulders, the shoreline invited a slow walking meditation, the serenity offered a chance for deep breaths.

Jai Bhagwan 🙏💗✨🕉️

Yoga in Everyday Life Eat With Intention, Not Rules 🍋 Add lemon to warm water before meals 🌾 Favor warm, cooked foods over cold salads when feeling anxious 🌙 Stop eating 2 hours before bed (gives your gut time to rest) 🙏 Take one moment of gratitude before your first bite The more you slow down, the more your body can speed up its healing. Consistency is soothing. Keep it simple. Keep it kind.

I sat on a small pier a few days ago to meditate against the setting Sun.

The hem of my sundress grazed the stone as I sat in silence in lotus pose. But, I was not alone. 😳This one tried to find a temp home with me! 🦀

I didn’t scream! Chalking this one up to progress in my journey! 😉 Jai! ✨

To know me is to know I avoid working on Mondays whenever possible.
A trustworthy forecast is imperative to developing my weekly schedule and summer is the most consistently reliable.

Aqua yoga in a calm sea is a wonderful evening activity on a warm summer night.
This low-impact practice invites SUCH a good sleep afterward, also. Jai!

Papa J’s has some odd tasting pizza and was way overpriced last time I looked. 👎🏼

Fresh baked Crazy Bread with warm sauce from LC’s hits the taste buds right every time, though!

Better yet - support a small local chain or a family-owned pizzeria 🍕

There are so many answers in a silent yoga flow.

I find myself asking sometimes “Is it selfish to want so much time to myself?”

My answer: “Not when you’re discovering so much about yourself!”
