Dance Your Own Dance





Drawing from the well to fill ourselves up, we venture around and sometimes stumble upon someone else's dream come true.

This piece is perfectly named Bliss Dance and was created by Marco Cochrane.  She originally made her  debut at the annual spiritual trek to the desert Burning Man.

She reminds me of how freely we can move when we cast off all of negative chatter of "what will they think?" and connect deeply to that inner dancer.

"I am who I am... who am I requesting some enlightenment..."

Fields of Mustard

St. Helena was the destination for our family's recent mini vacation. We have been enjoying little midweek day trips now and then. Having so much natural beauty at our doorstep is one of the best reasons for living here in the Bay Area. We packed up the Herrmann's and headed out of town and into wine country. It was a gorgeous day to be Californians!

Mustard is in bloom in the fields right now and its AHhhhh-mazing! It was as though a little drop of sunshine shattered into a bazillion pieces and each blossom is filled with it... filled up. Bursting with the joy of knowing its potential and LIVING it!

Have a peek:

Lexee told me these were her favorite bugs...

My very own pollinator!

Handsome, Mister Herrmann

Everywhere you looked... Mustard Fields Forever!
