This piece was done by my mom when she was in the 8th grade. It now sits above my desk where I look at it almost daily. It’s amazing how art has no quota for joy, no cap on appreciation. #since1974

The first day of the new year marks the start of Yoga Sol’s new year challenge! 31 days of hydration, sleep, yoga, and cleaning up my act when it comes to sustainability. This month (and year and decade and life) I want to reduce my amount of single-use plastics, be more contentious of the food I put in my body, and put my money where my heart is. More to come on how it goes, but today I’m just so thankful to have a yoga studio to call mine 🧘‍♀️ ♥️#yogasolchallenge

Cheers to the New Year and the New Decade! 🥂 📷: @evanihde

What a beautiful corner of the world to be able to call home ❄️

The annual winter break trip to the Como conservatory lead to a beautiful lunch at Hi-Lo diner with the one and only @mollybuhler Just a great day with a greater human full of life and restoration 🤗

Last night I had a dream I was under a wave, pinned to the floor of the ocean. In slow motion I calmly felt the wave form, saw it crest with the sun glittering though the water, creating a kaleidoscope of blue above me, then held my breath as, all at once, the water came crashing down and bubbled me up to the surface.
