hey gang, how are things? i hope you are enjoying the season, wherever you may be…
lately, i’ve decided to cut back on blogging a little… no particular reason; it just sometimes feels like a job to blog every day, and i’m trying to find other avenues in my life to expel creative energy… but i also am focusing more on blogging about the tiny home. it’s pretty amazing how this movement has taken off and how much i feel like a part of something pretty special and cool! my landlord recently started a new construction project – a tiny home! so, stay tuned as i document the adventure! also – i haven’t forgotten about the giveaway i promised back in march… i just need a little more time to gather my favourite images, so – stay tuned for more information on that, as well!
the last few weeks have gone by at what feels like lightning speed… and i have just been sitting here kind of spaced out, wondering what and how anything happened…
luckily, i have fotos to prove it 😉
lately…
… i am very happy to see the winter season come to a close…
… i’ve been throwing my polarizer sunglass lenses over my iPhone to snap cool fotos…
… and, i’ve been looking UP a lot more!…
… insect energy keeps making itself known to me…
… i’ve been receiving gentle reminders…
… things like this have been making me giggle and appreciate the little things…
… i’ve been getting more involved with farming/farmers/farm fresh food…
… the earth seems to be bubbling from below…? {maybe it’s the GRAND CROSS}
… mini frittatas and roasted fingerling potatoes have been the start of my day...
… i’ve been cleaning out old files and giggling more over stuff like this…
… i’ve enjoyed having many many delicious snuggle moments with this adorable furball…
i found this little guy {or gal? … are they asexual?!} in my tiny house the other day… and i think it’s so cool i was able to kind of capture the little legs!!!
i may have been a little freaked out at first, but that’s what you get when you live in the mountains – you have to learn to share your space with all of nature, as you are on her turf. when i looked up what this creature “represented” {according to some}, i read terms like psychic revelations, ability to survive stress, and this : “it is a wonder that something so small can humble even the largest and most threatening of creatures and people.” which clearly made me feel so good and comforted – cuz i am small, myself – but only physically 😉
i happily scooped him up onto a piece of paper and released him outside… but not before snapping a couple quick fotos. little bugger is FAST, too! i could only fire off two shots before he creeped down into a crevasse and scurried away…
apparently some centipedes are poisonous?! {yikes!} but not here in colorado, from what i’ve been told and read. i am thankful for my little gift of a centipede messenger. at the time i didn’t think much of it, but after reading about the energy this creature carries, i feel super blessed to have had it cross my path…
i have lots of animal energy surrounding me… i mean, we all do… we just have to pay attention and keep our hearts open. i believe it’s one of the ways the universe speaks to us – through animal energy. i’m one to notice patterns, almost obsessively, and therefore i can usually recognize when there is a message trying to reach me.
i saw dragonflies quite often during my meditations when i lived in denver. dragonfly’s message is about transformation and seeing through life’s illusions… which was so fitting for what i was experiencing at the time.
lately i’ve been seeing lots of spiders. i’ve always had spiders around me… which used to totally freak me out. *quiver* who likes spiders?! anyway – over the years i kept seeing them and i found myself actually photographing them quite a bit. i’m fascinated by their intricate webs and their stillness. and spider’s message is one of creativity – to weave our own web of destiny… and to be patient during the process 🙂

i’ve been missing new york a lot lately.
i always loved that new york city had a publication with my initials on it 🙂 {notice the stuck-on gum to the left}
these are all over lower manhattan…
i am earnestly trying to keep my heart open these days…and, when i do – this keeps happening :
