Bounty

I've been thinking about how lucky I am to have access to so much bounty.

Laughter

"Are you not willing to have some parts of you be sponged out, erased, canceled, nothing? If not, you will never really change."
D.H. Lawrence

The person who was me in this photo does not exist anymore. All the experiences, anguishing adolescence and pure joy you can see in her face have made me the person I am at this moment. I long for the laughter that made me at home in the past but know that I can never go back. Real change. Its hard to look at a past that seems so far away.

a day to be in love...

I love Wednesdays.

Its produce day at the international market across from my job. I love to head inside and breath in the produce department. Kale is always the first thing that grabs me. Any kind of fruit or root too! Bright colors and such possibility of flavor. Every week I shop and run home in anticipation. But only after...

Beer school! Cicero's Italian Restaurant (http://ciceros-stl.com/) here in St. Louis puts on an hour long tasting and information session with different breweries. Its fun and informative. And its a great way to keep learning about beer.

Then I get to make my home, get into my family's sunny little kitchen and make something delicious for the people I love. Joy in the simple is what I strive for!

We learn the most about ourselves when we truly let go and be in our bodies.

Freedom within the fire is my time to express myself.

Live in each moment as it comes, then let it go.
