i am so lucky for the individuals in my life.
the phone calls on speakerphone at 11:59 p.m. counting down.
the singing.
the facebook messages. the texts.
the strum of a guitar and a soulfool voice singing from california.
rememberance.

you're all beautiful. thank you for taking the time. to celebrate little ole me.

my voyage to the summer house was beautiful.
much needed.
a girls weekend, indeed.
i am sunkissed and grateful for such a loving, beautiful and creative family. they keep me afloat and balanced. we awoke at 7am this morning and did yoga. all six of us. outstretched on the beach and taking in the sights. smells. beauty. of nature. of one another.

ps: i had a dream last night about ryan adams, and returned to long island this evening to see his blog is back. i cant even make up that story. hooked, i am.
