Just a little exercise to set my thoughts out on the table so to speak.

I'm going to write my "dark" list on pieces of paper and burn them.

I don't have any room or desire for them and it's time to release them.

I want to connect with this area I live in now.

Experience.

Live.

Admire.

Be.

I am going to check in each week to highlight my awareness of this present space.

To recognize how I feel and how my world around me feels.

To be more in tune with myself, the earth and those around me.

SO without further ado...

lavender
grape vines
sage
yarrow
rosemary
roses
dandelions
bee balm blooms


light before 6AM
sunlight streams into the house around 9AM
after noon the sun is so extreme it's hard to spend time in it directly
as the day winds down, the yard is comfortable again after 4PM


July is monsoon month
scattered thunderstorms
cooler day temperatures
nights still get a little stuffy when it doesn't reach into the 50s


hummingbirds are everywhere
life is alive in the summer here
the trees along the acequia are ripe and verdiant
it feels like a jungle here
bird watching is mesmerizing and fun



I feel very productive in the morning
noon rolls around and I just want to lounge until late in the evening
I keep feeling old childhood memories swell up
summer at my grandparents' pool
the sky above that has seen so much
the sound of cicadas
hammocks
iced sun tea
painted toes
watching the clouds roll by

1st Day of July starting out with good vibes.
Summer Smoothie Starter


Cleansing our space. 
My little meditation/ yoga space.


New Teeki pants... I'm a flower child.


There is a jungle outside.

A tangle of trees.

Leaves that extend for miles.

Birds come out of hiding.

Feast on the feeders.

Hummingbirds zip by with hangry intentions.

Today is the first day of July 2018.

I have to get dressed for work soon.

But now I'm sipping on a delish green smoothie.

(recipe below)

Listening to meditation music.

Letting the beeswax candles burn and help purify the air.

I cleansed our space today.

An intention of starting fresh and with good vibes.

Simple but effective.

Restorative yoga.

Photos.

Gazing at birds.

Playing with the pups.

Butter coffee with mushroom elixirs.

I'm going to turn each day into a spa day.

Just make it normal for my life.

So each day I can fly on clouds through a green jungle of tangled leaves and feathers.

Just because.

I choose to.
