Drinking infused spa water helps me keep up with my recommended water intake. Part of working on my yoga practice includes staying hydrated. I’m not always the best at this. It’s not that I have anything against water, it’s just that I love coffee. And tea. Both of which are desiccants, so although they are mostly made up of water… View Post
On the First Day of Spring
‘As the saying goes: “Argue for your limitations and you get to keep them.”’ – Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear I’ve been thinking about this quote a lot lately – I’m actually loving this entire book. It is so inspirational for me! I’ve been acquiring many books lately through yoga teacher training recommendations. For many of them, I only have time… View Post
The Goldfinch Book Review
The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt Review: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I wasn’t sure whether or not I was going to like the Goldfinch. Yes, I used to love bildungsromans (coming of age stories) when I was younger, but now that I am well into adulthood, I was not convinced that a bildungsroman about a male would be relatable to me. Also, the book… View Post
Joshua Tree National Park
During a little bit of morning down time at the Palm Springs conference, I went to Joshua Tree National Park for a hike. I wish I had been able to stay longer! The joshua trees were beautiful. A joshua tree is a spiky tree with oblong arms that was until recently considered to be part of the lily family. It… View Post
West Coast In Flight

I love feeling the earth drop away behind me as the plane lifts into the air, and the peacefulness of rolling clouds below. I was on the red eye, so I kept drifting in and out of sleep. But… View Post
Where Are Texas Waves?
Do people even surf in Texas? Where are Texas Waves? I hear this all the time. Or jokes about how there are no waves or surf in the Gulf. It’s true, most days the Gulf has waves that are much weaker than the big ocean waves in Hawaii. The Gulf’s waves are always weakened by the Caribbean islands. But Texas has… View Post
Day For Night 2015 Houston
Day For Night was last weekend, and it was refreshing. I wish the music festival had been the kickoff for an 8 week art exhibition, but all of the art came down after the weekend was over. Chris worked on some of the art install. I helped talk him through how to do some of it. When I was younger… View Post
Big Surf
Are these waves even real? Is this even Texas? The answer is yes. Texas waves ftw.
Waves and Waves
Teacups have no place at sea. Cardboard cups with sippy lids are easier to clean up after.
Dog Days, Golden Surf
It’s officially August, and the dog days of summer are here. These are the hot sultry, lazy days. The beach landscape is filled with vibrant blue and bleached white everything from cloudless skies, but on most days the sunny lows make the wind and surf as listless as everything else. When an unexpected offshore wind popped up last weekend, we… View Post
