I am so glad I grabbed this Spell top when I did b/c they all sold out so fast.  It is my favorite garment in my whole closet.  It reminds me of the perfect blend between me and my mama.  It's so light and flowy, the colors are the prettiest dusty hues, the print is so feminine and bohemian.  I'm just in love...

Tomorrow is a huge day.  Not only b/c we get to attend the Free People Event in Austin, but it's also a new moon/ solar eclipse/ equinox.  Equinox's are special to me.  I never knew why years ago.  But when James and I got married I felt called to do it on an equinox.  Over the years I have learned more and tuned in more to my life during these times, and they are always pretty intense for me, in both good and bad ways (although the bad is still good, always, just feels bad).  Usually around the fall & winter ones deep seeded things come up to my conciousness, or I feel deep longing for things past, all sorts of feels... The energy I have felt this week leading up to this spring one is nothing but excitement and far out diving timing of things.  I have felt like I'm in a state of mind blown the past few days.  The way certain things are linking up, the timing of things, the letting go, the new, the connections, all of it.  It's just wow right now.

I feel like I am being called to step out.  Step out of my comfort zone.  To feel safe in the world, and trust in the divine timing of everything.  To truly heal and let go of past murk lingering in my body that has clung to me from past people, old family wounds, generations past, etc.  Time to say goodbye, thank you, and forge ahead in a new light without the weight of them anymore.  Time to sew new seeds of all kinds.  Time to truly take a stand for my own body, in all ways, to love her, to talk nice to her, to nourish her, to feed her well, to move & touch her, to adore her as she is, always.  

It feels like its a new year.  Like this is really the beginning of 2015.  It's here, lets dive in!!!  

PIECES OF HOME

A few little snippets from the past week or so.  These pieces of home posts are probably my favorite series that I do here on the blog.  I'm a bit sad Ive gotten so behind on them.  I may just have to go back into my archives of photos and post some even if they are older.  Time and life have been a juggle the past two months, that is for sure! 

I am feeling so absolutely blessed in life right now.  Big dreams are happening, for both James and I, and it really feels like we are in it together.  It's a beautifully flourishing time for our creative paths, and things are starting to happen, to fall into place, some of our wildest dreams are coming true, and things are shifting.  Alot of it feels scary and intimidating, but at the same time exhilarating.  As I feel myself shaking in my knees with nerves, I also feel my spirit growing each day.  One thing I'm learning this year, and the universe is kind of forcing me into learning, is confidence.  Confidence in myself.  I'm such a homebody, and spend most of my time either alone or with James, literally 90% of my time.  I'm having to step out of my comfort zone in big ways.

On Friday we get to attend the Free People Festival in Austin and meet some people we have been working with online for a while!  We are so thrilled.  It's also one example of my fears.  Being in crowds and meeting new people.  As an introvert, these simple things can be a bit overwhelming, and I can dwell on it for days before it even happens.  I envy those who don't even think twice about these kinds of things.  In my head it seems so silly to feel this way, but I accept the fact that I do, and I am going to push through and open myself up no matter how I feel.  Once I get past the nerves I know how fun its going to be, surrounded by beautiful creative people, meeting online connections, getting to see one of my favorite bands play, and maybe even meeting some of my sweet readers that visit my little blog, who knows!

I know its a good thing for the universe to stretch me.  Stretching may feel uncomfortable, but I know it means growth, and growth is always a good thing in my book.  I hope each step I take out into the world leaves me a little more confident in my skin than the day before. 

(btw, that big beautiful dreamcatcher up there, is from Of the Wolves... is it not insanely gorgeous?)

A little more color than I usually wear going on in this outfit, and I think I love it.  Sometimes I forget  how much I love the color blue.  This kimono has the loveliest hue of blue... Makes me feel majestic! ha ha.

Last week one of my favorite designers (and sweetest of gals) released her new collection for Mamie Ruth, and this tee is one of the pieces from it.  I always love her vision, and it couldn't of come out at a better time with all the festivals coming up.  All the ones I won't be attending, but wishing I was... those ones.  ;)

My poor little teepee is in need of some TLC.  Some of the branches are falling off.  I'm so excited for spring, Ill say it for the millionth time... now that the weather is warmer Ill be attending to some things like this.  And finishing up my backyard hillbilly spa!!!  Come on summer!  I'm ready. 

TWO WORDS... FREE PEOPLE.

My nanna told me this morning that she really misses my blog posts since I have blogged so little this month... So nanna, I'm back!  Ha ha.  Yesterday was a day for the books.  My home was photographed for the Free People blog & for a spread in the spring issue of the Bohemian Collective magazine.  Ive been anticipating this day for about two months now.  Which gave me plenty of time to allow my nerves to go bazurk (sp???)... Luckily Julia was a total sweetheart and easy to warm up to, so of course I got myself all nervous for nothing, which is usually the case...

I'm pretty sure though through my nerves I talked her ear off the whole time she was here about my cat and a million other things.  Speaking of my cat, Bella totally stole the show and got her picture taken in just about every room of the house.  She was camera ready, unlike her mama! 

I can't wait to see the photos and start working on the magazine spread.  This is the most exciting thing to date, as far as my business goes... I'm truly honored that they saw something special in what I'm doing enough to feature me.  Truly.  I don't really have the right words for it yet. 

And man my house is clean and feels so good right now!  I wish it would stay this nice everyday!!!
