  • Cannon Beach. Be still my heart.

    October 28, 2019

    Spontaneous weekend trips are my kind of jam. Yeah, weekend traffic sucks, but when one of your favorite coastlines on the planet is a 4-hour drive away (or 5 depending on traffic) I figured it

  • Pastel Times

    August 28, 2018December 12, 2018

    We went to the beach around sunset the other day, and I swear life felt like a box of pastels. Everything looked soft, felt soft, and I swear even the wind and waves were extra

    I don’t know why, but the days when I don’t think I’ll be able to make it to the beach, but don’t give up, am determined, and get there for a few minutes before the

    December 31, 2017December 12, 2018

    Ok, so this past year was a wee bit interesting, and I’m going to go out on a whim and say that it was for everyone. Ups and downs, laughs and tears. Some major ups,

  • Fallin for Fall

    November 23, 2017December 12, 2018

    The last month has solidified something I’m a firm believer in: Fall is, hands down, my favorite time at the beach. It’s less crowded, the weather is gorgeous, you can wear clothes without sweating through

    Figured my blog was looking a little stiff and needed some nonstop movement, so here you go. Beach gifs to the rescue. Top to bottom: Freakishly clear water. Gosh I love Fall at the beach.

  • About Last Night

    September 30, 2017December 12, 2018

    Sometimes when you walk to the beach right before the sun sets, you just know it’s going to be a special one. Maybe there’s something in the air, maybe it’s the hazy faint high altitude

    I think it’ll be hard to make a gif that I like more than this one. So yeah. I just wrote a really long post and my browser crashed before I could post it. And

    March 2, 2017December 12, 2018

    So yeah. Basically I’m allergic to missing a sunset. Actually, it’s more like I loathe missing a sunset with every piece of my fresh air loving, wants to see all that this beautifully colorful world

    I was having an off day today. Yes tears, negative thoughts, self doubt, and cerebral junk. It happens. Then, I stumbled on this quote, and it was just the exact slap on the back of

    My best dreaming is done with my eyes open. Maybe it’s because being outside, seeing new things, or seeing something old in a different light is what gets my brain spinning.  It churns up the

    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. ❤️‍🩹🐾
