  • Time to think of a bunch

    December 7, 2014December 12, 2018

    Time to think of a bunch of a few puns with shells:  Aww shell yeah.  It was a shelluva great day. Shell no. What the Shell? Oh, just for the shell of it. …and many

  • Got a little white sand mermaid

    November 4, 2014December 12, 2018

    Got a little white sand mermaid necklace addict flash vibe going on. And felt like it coordinated well with some coconut tree shade. For some odd reason. Because opposites always attract. And this is one

  • Sayonara Bikini Season.

    May 14, 2014December 12, 2018

    This time of year, the terms “bikini Season” and “bikini shape” start to pop up. And well, those terms pretty much make me cringe and want to slap whoever is using them in the back

  • What I Miss about Hawaii

    April 15, 2014December 12, 2018

    I believe in living in the moment, not looking back (too much) and making the most of each day. But I’d be lying if I didn’t confess that I miss Hawaii every day. Some days

  • May you never be too busy

    March 17, 2014December 12, 2018

    May you never be too busy to stop and breathe under a palm tree. Or a pine tree. Or any tree.

  • There’s something seriously therapeutic and relaxing

    March 7, 2014December 12, 2018

    There’s something seriously therapeutic and relaxing about shell picking. It’s like treasure hunting for beach bums. …and this little one was pretty stinkin’ cute.

  • Feelin Blue.

    February 16, 2014December 12, 2018

    I was going through my computer (in an attempt to organize it. emphasis on the word attempt), and I realized I never shared a rather sweet project. Last year, I had an absolute blast shooting,

    I just moved to LA, and am in the process of trying out new gyms. I was working out at the YMCA down the street, and they had a little bulletin board in the corner

    December 13, 2013December 12, 2018

    I was just going through some pics from this summer (yes it’s cold, cloudy and rainy today, hence the nostalgia), and realized I never posted this pic of quite possibly the most puntastic tee ever.

  • Freediving. Deeper.

    November 20, 2013December 12, 2018

    One of the best feelings is doing something you didn’t believe you could do. A month ago, if you told me I could dive to almost 100 feet on one breath, I would’ve laughed or

    Here’s the last painting I did before I packed up Here’s the last painting I did before I packed up my office…and I haven’t touched a brush since. Feels weird, but the break helped get lots of ideas brewin’ now, too. 🎨🧡 Life’s a beach. Embrace the mess and get the tattoo. #goldfishkissart #watercolor #radart

    Well, in life update news, we moved to Michigan. T Well, in life update news, we moved to Michigan. Two days after saying goodbye to Kili, I said bye to beach life, felt like a chapter of life I loved was slammed shut, and all the air and motivation was knocked out of me. Changes like this take time, and the idea of ever being truly settled in is a bit foreign to me. But, you just have to look for the little glimmers in ordinary days (what’s in all these pics), be present, get out and about, and choose joy while also giving those tears permission to flow. Ok, and say hi to every dog I can, while holding onto summer as long as I can, too. But I hear Fall is next level up here. 🧡

So, if you’ve been following me for a while, life’s taken us many places. I feel like I’m part chameleon and part lone wolf by now, and we will see what this new season brings. I have a feeling Lake Michigan and the upper peninsula will be my happy place, so hopefully we’ll make it out there a bunch. Life’s crazy. Wear a helmet and thank goodness for Facebook marketplace. And that I didn’t give away all my cold weather gear.
    Well, I had to say goodbye to my best four-legged Well, I had to say goodbye to my best four-legged friend, then to life at the beach in a matter of a few days. Life’s been heavy, full of random ugly cries, a bit of a blur, and my brain fog is at capacity, all while having one too many tabs open, too.

But I did manage to scribble down some journal thoughts before the move, and wanted to share. I love these things.

I’ll post a bunch of final beach pics and about life in our new location soon. But for now, I’m just taking it one day at a time.

Or in this case, page. Hope they’re somewhat legible. 🌊❤️‍🩹🖊️ #goldfishkisswriting #thoughts
    How do you sum up an incredible life in few slides How do you sum up an incredible life in few slides and words…I can’t. This loss is such a deep hurt, and the love is so pure. Kili pup, I miss you, and my heart is so damn heavy. Run wild, run free, soak up the sun, steal all the pizza, and find all the sticks and tennis balls, my best four legged friend. ❤️‍🩹🐾
