i've realized that most of my reading this year has been stories of or by fearless and accomplished women. they are all wildly different people but i find them all inspiring in different ways. i've decided to continue with this theme. if you have any recommendations send them my way!

book 5

this book is awesome! caroline is my new hero. i thought my life fairly exciting, but hers is next level on the adventure scale. plus i like the interactive tasks that the book contains. if you have a daughter, buy this for her. we need more gutsy girls.

goodbye new home

i realize i announced my comeback and then haven't posted much on here. it's been a pretty busy time. sadly our lafayette home is on the market. the owners are selling in a rush and for the past month every week has brought more disruptions to our life; open house, showings, inspections of so many sorts, people showing up unannounced, repairs, etc. the whole thing has been really stressful - not to mention we now have to move out 3 months before our lease ends and at the absolute worst time. the beginning of june will be... interesting. luckily we found a new place and we are good to go so at least the stress of searching is over.
i am obviously a little bit sad to leave this place, especially the gardens, where flowers that my brother and i planted are already returning. but i guess the count continues... bring on new home number... 31? i forget.

p.s. don't call this woman. it's already sold. and you don't want to deal with her.

using a timer to take these photos is a pretty imperfect system. i have probably about 20 - 30 seconds total to get back to my mat, get in the pose and then deepen. alot goes wrong on almost every round. this photo for example - i meant for this to be an example of a starting point as i begin to work on it again. but i'm not sure this is actually my deepest expression of it at this time - just the deepest i could get into in the time i had. i really need to get a remote cable release. you might see this again....
