Today is, oddly, my 10th anniversary of blogging. Luckily most of it is tucked away private on LiveJournal, because whew! when I read back, it makes me want to just tuck my smaller self into a little nest. Anyway! I am here to tell you that my fancier half has started his own blog – [...]

Asheville edition of ‘the ones you know’, part 2! I’m not super happy that this city stole 2 of my favorite ladies on earth, but I’m glad they’re thriving there. Anna is one of the most grounded, wonderful, magical people I know. When I first met her years and years ago, I actually had to [...]

I was planning on a double power “the ones you know” Asheville based post about 2 of my favorite ladies on this planet, Anna & Karie, but there’s just too much goodness for a single post! So I’ll start with Karie – I met Karie in SF & within minutes of meeting I was curled [...]

2011 is on the doorstep & all the tasks I’d delegated to this holiday week sit undone, a thick fog floating up around me as I become one with the couch, kittens & cocoa. What I allowed to be a short rest and recovery after the wedding is fast becoming stagnation. I have plans! Things [...]

I think now it is time to introduce my lovely Parisian host, Mathyld.

Dori recently moved from San Francisco to New England – her blog from her new house is perfection – whitewashed walls, wide plank floors, spiral gardens – & bears in the backyard!? She is a spiritual counselor, magic apothecarian (that’s not a word) & I [...]

I was going to keep the ‘the ones you know’ series to ladies, but I also have some of thems-other-folks whom people should know about. I picked this painting up from Kyle Ranson the other day as part of his blow-out art sale. He was about to head to the east coast for another collab [...]

The one everyone knows! The secret center of the cosmic spiderweb hum hum hum!! Mention Austin in a crowd of strangers, and surely everyone will say “Austin? Do you know Angel?” & of course…they do. Perhaps I shouldn’t speak so loudly, I’m sure there’s meaning to her magical web-pulling ways, and we’ll all be drawn [...]

This is Nicole and her mama when she was wee. What a gorgeous shot. Maybe I’m feeling sentimental lately, but I’ve decided to do a series focusing on some amazing ladies whom I know. The first in the series is Nicole, who just sent me an amazing parcel filled with so many goodies. We’d lost [...]
