“What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside you.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson. While I was editing these photos from Matagorda, my friend and I started doing that thing again, where we start projecting what we would like to be doing in the future. This is usually a really abstract… View Post
These are a few more waves from Matagorda surfing in July. We were able to go out on the jetties and the beach! I caught a few really long waves, and of course Chris caught every one that came along. The waves were long and powerful, if choppy from an offshore wind. When I first went out, it was hard… View Post
We found some Matagorda surf, and sun, on Sunday and Monday. What better way is there to spend a long weekend? We met up with friends, too, so it was in good company. With fireworks. There were waves, sure, but too much wind! When it’s too windy, the waves are choppy like a dishwashing machine. How to begin at the end? This… View Post
“Be at least as interested in what goes on inside you as what happens outside. If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place.” – Eckhart Tolle This weekend I completed Restorative Yoga Training at Joy. The teacher leading the training, Brittany Kraft, talked about how the body has waves that you move with. For example, there’s a… View Post
I made this June Moon Calendar for myself this month, and liked it enough to share it. The design is so obviously drawn from the Free People moon calendar, which was designed by Holly Degan. She does such a great job on the Free People moon calendar collages! I love her moon calendar designs, and just wanted my phone background to feature that same design with… View Post
How cute are these shorts with this white eyelet lace tank, though? As it gets warmer in Houston, my clothes get lighter. I can’t tell you how much white I’ll wear between now and September. And then black. I’m a bit of a minimalist-closet girl. My sister and I laugh about how it is when you go to the beach…. View Post
Look at these big animal sandcastles! Leaving the beach at the end of the day is always an adventure. After everyone has trickled away at dusk, we stay on for some stargazing or to build a fire. As we make our way down the shoreline back to the road, the headlights of the car illuminate the strangest things in the… View Post
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
I recently flew to Palm Springs for a work conference, eTail West. An early morning plane flight gets me every time. 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
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
