INSPIRATION, GRATITUDE & SURPRISES

Hello September!!! I love that we are approaching fall because it’s one of my favorite times of year. This should prove to be an interesting September full of growth, whether I am ready for it or not! I leave for Tassajara in 1 week and when I return I officially begin French and Tango classes! At the end of the month we head to Sedona for some R & R. I love Sedona, it happens to be one of my favorite places to relax. It’s filled with so much beauty. When we return from the trip it will officially be Fall! I plan to cook, bake and write as much as possible during the fall and winter months because I can’t think of anything more cozy than that. Well actually I can…if Frank was curled up at my feet.

-What Inspired me this week?-

The change in scenery…I really like new spaces

My girlfriend Jenni, who has been in Haiti for two months volunteering. Talk about brave and inspiring

Our French filled evening and the Hollywood Bowl

Serge Gainsbourg’s music

My suggested reading book for Tassajara “Zen Mind Beginners Mind”

The blog Spoon Fork Bacon – It could make anyone want to cook!

Oh Tony Robbins…you inspired me this week to Awaken The Giant Within!

Vision Boards

-What am I grateful for this week?-

That I get to see two of my girlfriends this weekend! Jenni who is back from Haiti for a quick stop in LA and Rachel aka One Part Gypsy who is returning from her month-long adventure through Asia (yes I was extremely jealous)

Yoga, Yoga, Yoga

That I live a block away from Chantal now…So strange how it all works out.

-What Surprised me this week?-

How easy it has been to live with Brian! Phew.
