    Spookiest Podcasts for Halloween

    /

    To help conjure up the spirit of Halloween this year, I’ve been playing the spookiest podcasts of the season. I listen to a lot of podcasts during my hour commute to and from work and these all make the trip so scary good. 5 Scariest Podcasts My Favorite Murder This is, hands down, my favorite podcast right now. Hosted by Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark, My Favorite Murder is a conversational murder podcast. It’s actually classified as a comedy, and recently rose to the number one position on iTunes podcasts. Karen and Georgia each pick their favorite murder of the week and recount it, replete with erroneous facts from Wikipedia…

    Barbarian Days Book Review + July Reading List

    /

    As promised – the Barbarian Days book review. I’ve finally finished Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life by William Finnegan. I’d had my eye on the book for a while, and when it won a Pulitzer Prize for autobiography this spring, it suddenly made it’s way into my hands. Surfing. Chris calls it “the fever”. As in “he has the fever” – the only way to describe someone known to disappear at a surf buoy’s notice. In case you didn’t notice from the blog photos, Chris has the fever. Finnegan has lived with the fever and will take you, the willing reader, on that journey with him. William Finnegan’s prose makes surf culture…

    Yoga Teacher Training Book Reviews

    /

    Yoga Teacher Training is well under way, and my book collection is steadily growing. I’m so excited to have finally started yoga teacher training. The majority of our training comes from the Joy Yoga University manual, but these books are my best friends for the five months of yoga teacher training. I have tons of other books on yoga to dig into and share, but these are the core books for me to really focus on for now. I respond well to learning from books.   Teaching Yoga: Essential Foundations & Techniques By Mark Stephens Teaching Yoga feels like the primary textbook for our yoga teacher training. There’s a chapter that…

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.
