I took a short trip to Manzanita yesterday with a couple of girlfriends. This little town holds so much magic for me. It would be a dream to be able to own a little cabin here someday. The weather was gorgeous and so much peace in my soul. Love you, #manzanita! - See more at: http://iconosquare.com/viewer.php#/de... You are hereby allowed to be happy, to love yourself, to realize your worth, to believe in great things, and to be treated with love and respect. I've seen this quote floating around the Internet, and I adore it. Good reminder going into the weekend, my friends. Have a great one! - See more at: http://iconosquare.com/viewer.php#/de...

Well hello Autumn! Rain, lots of green, and a moodiness has arrived here in Portland. My drive home after drop-off made me so ready for rain gear and boots. Yes. Let's do this.

Hello Autumn clothes. I've missed you!

Warning: I might be a little Instagram happy today. I'm on a writing deadline and my procrastinator self likes to play during deadlines. It oddly helps my process. Anyway, I finally put a plant in my KRR sample planter and I'm loving it. Looks like she's wearing a fancy feather hat!

100% fell in love. We met her today and we'll bring her home late next week. Still not sure what we'llname her but man is she the cutest and chillest. In LOVE!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤  Last one. We are obsessed over here. Names that are possibilities: Waffles, Tootie, Lulu Belle, Lucy Star, Francie Pants, and Dolly. Also, Barbara because it's an LOL name for a dog.

Good morning from the gorgeous PNW. Today it's more writing, getting ready for Spirit Wings painting course to go live in a few days, getting ready for True's 5th birthday in a few days, getting ready to bring a puppy home in a few days, and savoring the build up to it all!   

Last night I woke up in the middle of the night with the name Butter Bean in my head. True loves butter and if you let him, he'll eat it by the spoonfuls. This morning I mentioned it as a possible name. He decided he wanted Lulu Star instead. And then I suggested "Lulu Butter Bean!" and he suggested "Lulu Butter BUTTER Bean" and so it is. We present to you Ms. Lulu Butter Butter Bean! Whew! That was hard and fun and hilarious.

Autumn heart, for you.

Dear Child.
I promise to come alive with joy when you enter the room (I want you to feel loved and celebrated). I promise to encourage you to dream big and reach toward possibility with faith and courage along the way.
I promise to create, play, dance, and sing with you (joyful creative abandon will be valued). I promise to teach you about how to be brave in sadness and brave in love.
There will be pain, fear, joy and love.
I will be with you, side by side, to guide you through all of it.
I promise to practice gratitude with you so we can feel joy and abundance in all things.
I promise to provide a safe and nurturing home where you have full permission to be who you are.
May our spirits be connected always.
May you always know how deeply you are loved, how your life shines brightly and how your heart is never alone. 

Window sill vibes in our kitchen. This Autumn light. Wow.
Before/after. Thursday, October 1
Throwback to earlier this year (March) when we got keys to my new studio. This was the before. I'm so grateful and happy to have such a space. Still pinching myself.

Not sure if he's going to be five or fifteen on Saturday but either way I'm smitten. Today he asked if he could be my lover bean.


That's it for this week! Check back here next week for another update, or join us over on Instagram for daily photos and thoughts!
