    Dispatches From Pluto Book Review + Lemuria Bookstore

    /

    Mississippi. The softly sibilant state most often spoken in the shortest span of time. When was the last time you said it without counting in the same breath? My mother’s family is from Mississippi, and for as long as I can remember in our youth we would make a yearly visit to my grandmother and cousins. First in Yazoo City, then in Jackson when my grandmother relocated after my grandfather passed away. Southern magical realism is a popular writing style – and one of my favorites. The truth is always stranger than fiction, and a tall tale doesn’t cast as long of a shadow or light as a child’s imagination playing…

    DIY Macrame Braided Friendship Bracelet

    /

    Macrame friendship bracelets aren’t just a summer thing! After Labor Day, fall colors suddenly flood our closets. Rainbow friendship bracelets make for such summer fun, but neutral and fall colors are a little more versatile for layering as the temperatures start to drop. This diy macrame braided friendship bracelet only takes about 30 minutes to make and a lifetime to wear off. I love giving these as gifts to friends.

    Spooky Paleo Apple Bites Recipe for Halloween

    /

    This spooky paleo apple bites recipe filled with almond butter is not only healthy and fun, it’s also super easy to make. One of the best things about fall is that it’s apple season!

    Likely By SUP – SUP Yoga Teacher Training!

    /

    Last weekend was marked by an amazing time on the lake in SUP Yoga Teacher Training! Friday through Sunday, I joined 11 other yoga teachers for SUP yoga teacher training through the BIG SUP yoga program. It is so awesome to spent 3 days in the outdoors on the water, surrounded by other yogis with their varied yoga backgrounds. What’s SUP Yoga? SUP yoga is like regular yoga, only on a stand up paddleboard! That may seem a little gimmicky. Here’s what’s different from a yoga studio experience: You’re outdoors. You have the most amazing view across the waters of the lake, through the trees and over the clouds. The…

Hello!

Artist and writer in Houston, painting my way through a slower kind of life. Likely By Sea is where the studio spills into everything else — watercolor and process, slow craft, whole-food cooking, coastal days, and the small style-and-living notes in between. Trained as a fine artist; the rest just follows the same eye.
