redwood tree - botanic gardens - santa barbara, ca

remember.

humming and hugging with all the lights.

ggb - daytime - sf, ca

the best thing about a favorite place is that it always feels new, even though it's quite familiar. i guess the same applies to special people. and when both collide, the feeling is infinite.

a feast for the heart.

rubber band ball - long time ago - marin, ca

friends, today i am thankful for so many things. i am thankful for my family, my full belly, and the special people who fill my life. thank you, each of you, for being who you are to me :)

happy thanksgiving.

i love you.

votives - elliot and french - oakland, ca

my friend cecilia has started a blog called LITTLE GEMS.

it is hilarious, trust me.

read it.

love it.

LAUGH.

separately, sure. but, together.

muslin pastels - part of a divine dress - san francisco, ca

today, oddly enough, i encountered three separate people singing opera in three separate locations. the coincidence served as a stitch that linked the layers of my day--the morning to the lunch-hour to the night. quite regal, really--and much softer than you might imagine.

i know it.

my bag - care of guatemala - sf, ca

i am quite sure that my friends are among this generation's truly special individuals--that the wonderful men and women who surround me are going to be the people who others wonder and write about. those who move and shake and vibrate. being a witness to this collective priming for the prime is electric. it is filled with real promise. and feeling as i do, as strongly as i do, is in itself a blessing. we've all got our metaphorical bags packed for the next move.

i can't wait to tell the stories of who we used to be before we were THE.

a bowl of kix and a bundle of broccoli.

silver fox and lamb - thrown - san francisco, ca

this weekend was brief, but it felt longer thanks to the fall-back hour. i made a mom-friendly decision to take it easy on a saturday night despite my twenty-five-year-old instincts, and today i was thankful for it. i slept off a long week. i woke up and lounged in this warm bed. and now i'm ready for the coming week. ready, freddy.
