Moonrise and Sunrise

touchstones of me.....

The air in Hawaii feels like velvet on my skin. Nature is loud here. The trade winds blow the palm tree branches....the waves splash....the tide comes in and out....all with the loud melodies of Hawaii.
It is a different world from our cozy nest amongst the oak trees, in Northern Calif.

We rent out our little cottage by the sea, each summer, and when I return here, in the autumn, I always feel the same....
kind of off kilter as I wander through the rooms where others have been living.

The energy feels not quite right....not quite mine. It is not quite home yet. I always promise myself that I will not fall into these feelings of disconnection, but I can't seem to help myself.
It's like I can't fit into this picture of me, here, until I touch everything...move everything....reposition everything into that more pure expression of my energy.

Today will be about reclaiming me....here....in this little cottage by the sea.

Off to Hawaii.......

Off to Hawaii in the early morning.
You can see what fills my suitcase......only art supplies!

Tout Droit....

Tomorrow I leave the ranch, early in the morning to fly back home.
I am renewed and refreshed.
I send you a photo of how I felt when I arrived here....and how I feel as I depart.

Tout Droit :)

A Gift of Diamonds....and a Heart...

Today is my Birth Day.....

Reflexology Walk....

Another day of beauty and tranquility.

I brought my sketch pad and paints with great intention to do some art, but it still sits on my desk. 

The Reflexology walk hurt my feet!  

But it's pretty, isn't it?

Beauty abounds.....

What a difference 2 days can make!  I feel.... wonderful...happy...energetic....inspired.....uplifted.....enthusiastic!

My day begins with a two mile hike up into the mountains and then into a great yoga session.

And that's just the beginning.  Time for lectures on interesting subjects, great meals, a meditation class.....and so much more that I don't have time to take advantage of.

The weather is perfect and I'm in heaven!!

Wish you were here!!

My return to the ranch

After a bus ride and a flight and another bus ride.....I am here.

I have stepped into a space of inspiration...my favorite space to be!

Everything here lifts me up...the beautiful stained glass doors ....

the sky....and the rock wall that is place by a winding path, with a new saying each day.

It's hot, but there is a wind, and with the clouds in the sky it feels a bit like a storm is brewing.

Nature is strong and pure here.
