So this is love
Thursday, September 28, 2017
We sat on a little wooden bench as the sun rose from the mountains.
Golden threads of sunlight cast over the landscape before us.
Our adventure in Astoria is coming to an end.
Making each moment a memorable one is top priority now.
***
He tells me he loves me.
His hand on my thigh.
He shows me he cares.
His lips never lie.
He consistently impresses me.
His heart just for mine.
He is the strongest man I know.
His dark soul that still shines.
***
As I sit here, writing this post, he is making dinner.
Fried chicken and pancakes.
***
Now that is love.
He just told me how pretty I am.
Just now.
No prompt.
Just a sweet, slightly devilish grin.
Just for me.
I'm in love.

Sunset Storms
Monday, September 25, 2017
Really enjoying the grey days again.
It has been sunny and gorgeous fall weather here on the coast.
But thankfully some of the grey has come back to play.
So what would you do when thunderstorms loomed and fat rain drops fell from the sky?
Play on the beach all evening!!
I'm feeling a little melancholy with the thought of packing up and moving again so soon.
We really have enjoyed living here.
And we were just getting up and going with jobs.
But whatcha gonna do when you can't find a more reasonably priced rental or even buy a house?
Ya gotta go where the wind takes you.
Where the waves lull your mind.
I was dreaming of wildflower fields this morning.
Coffee and yoga.
Dogs running for miles.
Wellness.
Good vibes.
Maybe we will create a retreat venue of sorts someday.
Or I'll have a wildflower farm?
I'm a little lost on direction these days.
A lot of balls in the air.
Either way.
It's a fun ride and fuck it, I'm enjoying the hell out of it.
I've been dealing with a lot of turmoil in my head lately.
Trying to find a place to live.
Trying to budget smart.
Trying to live a happy life.
My problem.
Trying not to worry.
Fuck that and just stop worrying.
It makes me sick when I do.
When I think of the long list of shit to do.
Fuck that list.
I'm going to listen to classical music.
Sip my organic butter coffee with marine collagen and MCT oil.
And enjoy my day off.
Oh and go to the store for tampons, laundry soap and dog food.
Again.
Because after a duck round up with my neighbor.
And a trip to the general store only to realize they don't open until 9:30AM (it was 9AM).
Still gotta adult a little on the day off.
LOL
hormones.
yep.
That's what this post should be more appropriately geared towards.
I'm moody and the grey skies make me happy.
So fuck you.
And just be wavy.

Goodbye Waves
Saturday, September 16, 2017
It's the middle of September.
We have been in Oregon now for 6 months.
The beauty and air here still manage to take my breath away.
Driving along the coast.
Watching the waves.
Listening to the lull of the ocean while you drift to sleep.
Chowder and crusty bread thick with butter.
Freshly baked sweets.
Coffee.
Oh coffee you thrive out here.
Toes in the sand, wavy beach hair.
Sunsets and Sunrises for miles.
We work at "pot shops"
We have met great people.
We found Dahlia.
We explored a little...
We cozied up a lot.
***
And now we look south once again.
Our hearts have moved on.
This place of beauty.
Where forests meet the ocean.
Where sand dollars line up like soldiers left on a battlefield after bloody wars.
Where the people are kind but know the harsh of the winter and rain.
The PNW.
You will always hold a place in my heart.
From memories in a distant life.
to
New memories of a life created here.
It is with a bittersweet symphony that I say goodbye for now.

Grateful for Homework
Monday, July 31, 2017
I am grateful for Day 3 AND Day 4
What do bacon pork burgers with smoked provolone and spinach on a toasted brioche bun and nine drams have in common?
Sunday night homework.
Granted I only tried four of the nine.
Work perks.
Boyfriend perks.
I am grateful for all of these things.
And puppies.
Oh and cool booth mates at the farmer's market that bring me fried oyster tacos for lunch.
Seriously.
I am grateful for so much.
First day of work at the shop.
I'm a bundle of nerves, excitement, and some sleepy mixed in.
Cheers to Monday!
Stay wavy.

Day 2
Today I am grateful for...
space
space
to create
to comfort
to plan goals
to weave dreams

End of July Bits

 |
| Windowsill herb garden in the works. |
 |
| Dahlia, "I swear I'm being good... " while I catch her in the act of NOT being good. |
 |
| Look what I created Mom! |
 |
| They get me every time. |
 |
| She fell asleep like this. |
 |

 |
| Hanz is such a good pup. I love this face each morning I wake up. |
 |
| Oh Manzanita you are one of the greats. |
 |

 |
| This is what healthy looks like. LOL aka "A Healthy Mess" |
 |
| Worked in the new shop and it's coming along! Such a cool space that I'm grateful to be part of! |
July has been a rollercoaster.
Work schedules continue to pick up.
Big plans in the works.
Life can be such a fun ride.
Hope you are enjoying the high moments and learning from the lows.
Stay Wavy.

You know when you find yourself stuck in a rut?
Mindlessly flipping through all of the self help insta stories or inspiration photos of the day.
And then one article, that is saying the same thing as the rest, just resonates with you at the moment.
Well this time it was from, "The Moon Sisterhood" email newsletter.
This was my kick in the pants to get up and do something about my rut.
Essentially, the practice that Anne is coaching you to try is starting a 40 day Gratitude Journal.
This goes by the belief that if you spend time on a certain practice for 40 days it will have a deeper impact on your life and is more likely to change your "rut" or whatever ails you at the moment and change it for the better.
So please, if you feel that tug to try a new practice, learn something that speaks to you, or simply be inspired by what Anne so graciously shares in her newsletters, please check out her post at
Without further ado...
DAY 1
- Today I am grateful for -
moody mornings on the coast
listening to the ocean while the windows are open
no Dahlia potty accidents in the house
good coffee
these two fluff muffins staying cozy and sleeping while I type
my handsome devil who sleeps peacefully with ear plugs so the dogs can play and "ruffhouse"
having this Friday off to enjoy these moments
