Smelling Roses...





She's says "I'm bending time getting back to you"...

I love that line.  I would bend time to get back to someone I love.  
In a Heartbeat.
The past few days have been pretty magical for this Gemini...
From Palm Springs to surfing the Jetty in my bikini (YES bikini in April!), I have been blessed with many amazing days of friends both vintage classics and new collections all while under the sunshined days or moon lit nights.  I am so grateful for the amAzing ness I have in my life.  
Today was a perfect day.  The combination of my passion for fashion and my artistry was alive while teaming up with a special mate who brings the sunshine out every time I'm around him, then hitting the ocean for a late day surf before hitting one of my favorite sushi spots for an insane dinner full of CACKLES.  wow... See why I'm always so grateful?  Today was the ultimate for me,  a day that proves I am already gaining the dream that I had when I moved from Kauai years ago... to own my life so I can surf where ever I want, when ever I want all while building a healthy life full of simplicity, passion and a bit of luxury...  

I believe dreams do come true if your HEART is committed to the dream...
Believing is a powerful thing to do and having your HEART backing it up... well that kind of makes what ever it is that you believe in unstoppable...

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those to love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true...


I believe in FATE but I have always been a believer that we can manipulate our destinies...
We are the masters of our universe, we are the planters of our gardens, we are responsible for our choices...

If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme...


I am in love with those words because they posses so much TRUTH and that is one part of the TRUTH that I live faithfully in my life...

"Cherish your visions: cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the love lines that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow all delightful conditions, all heavenly environment; of these, if you but remain TRUE to them, YOUR WORLD WILL AT LAST BE BUILT."

eyes closing, dawn patrolling in the morning...

REVERSED





The moon sits reversed in my cards...

I am asked to look into my inner feelings and intuition and TRUST.

The word that seems to light up dark corners,the word that fulfills unanswered questions and hold's my hand when I look for support...
I TRUST that I am exactly where I am supposed to be in the moment and that something brilliant and shinny has been looking for me... I provoke it to find me and I TRUST that it's right around the corner from doing so...

This week started with a perfect weekend before it.
I had a wonderful weekend with friends down by the beach in San Diego. Life's most simple pleasures really turn me on... Quality time with quality friends under the sun, in and out of the ocean with waves to play on, sharing laughter and good food, making every part of my day count in meaningful ways... Its so healthy to be able to get close to nature before technology, traffic, and NOISE creeps into the day... That is the gift that us surfers can bring into our lives... we can start and end the day owning it in the ocean...

It came at a perfect time. Creating a life where I own my time is a process that expectedly brings challenges in the early stages of the journey. Currently the "weather" is challenging me to keep my sunshine bright while a storm tries to move in. I discovered that the best way to do this is to surround myself with LOVE. LOVE for everything I have in my life, LOVING the pure things I enjoy such as my writing, surfing, music and day dreaming... LOVE for the time I get to own, LOVE for the friends and family I have to share it with and LOVE for the truth that I get to live while so many others roam this earth with out a clue...

These days I find myself saying "thank you" more than "why?" when I am challenged... Enlightened? Hopefully continuously. With more wisdom constantly loving and lighting up my journey... That is living RICH in my eyes...

Breezy and crisp are two words to describe the sensation that I am feeling inside of me at the moment... One part of me is standing on my tippie toes trying to peak over branches that stand tall in front of me... The other is sitting with my hands at my third eye meditating in stillness...

Its fun to be a Gemini...

I have no complaints only questions that I don't need answered but rather discovered through life's perfect timing.... with every "tick" and "tock" my TRUST grows stronger....

The full moon approaches and I can't wait. I'm ready to finish old projects and work on the NEW.... I feel a chapter coming to an end and I can smell the pages of a new one. I am tuning in and READY... Travel is arriving at my door soon and my bags are already packed. Soon I will be back in the comfort of an airport where I get to be the mystery that I love to be... Music on. people staring, wondering who I am, where I'm going, what I'm thinking... I love to make people think…

I love to offer back some mystery to the world around me… to walk around and read the eyes and energy of passing people...

It has always been a goal of mine to one day,  go to the airport with a bag in my hand, pick a destination and just GO… Take a holiday with no plans only instincts that would lead me to a beautiful stay where ever I was… I will turn this idea into a reality when it feels right and when I do it will be AMAZING... 13 years of traveling has made it MY lifestyle and I still feel like I have only just begun... So many places to feel, so many languages to listen to, so many new connections to discover, so many different waves to surf...

Tomorrow is a new day and a day that brings me closer to seeing what exists over the branches for me, a day closer to an enlightened sense of patience that I earned through my stillness, one day closer to the knock of travel and opportunity at my door and ultimately one day closer to my spontaneous idea of a "pick a spot and GO" holiday...
