Just checkin' in

Wow, time flies! It's now upwards of 90 degrees every day here, and we are all looking forward to a lusty monsoon season.

So, hi.  Since I was here last hubby and I snuck away for a weekend in San Diego that was incredible. We were just a few feet from the beach, and spent the days in that lazy, lovely haze of sunning, walking, eating, napping, chatting. It was awe.some.

Daughter's wedding plans are underway, with venue chosen, colors nearly settled upon, and dress shopping in full swing.  I hope to get to NY for a weekend shopping trip within the next month or so.

Son's fully engaged in his life, and is gardening and developing himself as a poet and fledgling novelist as we speak. His baby dog, Bernie, now weighs in at 105 lb. He considers himself a lapdog, and is, in fact, a champion napper. He and I logged some wonderful snooze time during his last visit. He's kind of like snuggling with a baby bear, only no claws, just warm snuggle dog.

My practice is building, and my appreciation for Oriental Medicine grows with it. I am so excited to be immersed in the practice of the medicine (after years of theory, prior), and feel every day like I've come home to myself.

I hope you are all well, and that life brings you many lessons, much love, and peace, overall.

Huge hugs,

Stevie

It's been a minute

Oh, what a summer it's been! Heat, the likes of which we have never seen seems to be enveloping the planet. They told us this would happen, and it is.  Now what? Is it time to think underground bunkers? To really explore moon colonies? To continue, on an individual basis to do what we feel we can to help the greater effort? We bought a hybrid two years ago. We'll probably buy an electric car once we feel like the infrastructure is in place, but right now, it's not.  We recycle. Glass ( WHO is drinking all of that wine?! I ask myself each time I toss the bottles into the big bin.). Food. We compost all but animal products, and use it in the garden.  Cardboard/cans/plastics go in the recycle bin each Tuesday. My husband thinks the whole recycle thing is a big scam, and that all of the recycling and trash gets taken to the same place - the dump - because there isn't adequate staffing to sort and really carry out the recycle process.  I feel this is a cynical view, but ...

Funny walking and smoke

I've become one of those walking women I used to make fun of. You know the ones I mean, they walk fast and they pump their arms in what, from the outside, appears to be an exaggerated way. I'm one of them. Old knees have forced me to become a funny walker. But I have to say, after three days of just walking? I'm feeling like I'm doing something, not just compromising. That funny arm pumpy thing, multiplied by a million, which feels like the number of steps I take in my 3 mile morning walk, seems to work the arms and get the heart rate up a bit. But the smoke from the wildfires in Arizona? Killing us. All of us. Everyone here has headaches and stingy eyes and we're all a little more on edge than usual. Even for a Tuesday in a week with no holidays.

Practical glamour

This week, well, is gonna be a humdinger. Why? 1. Trade show. In Vegas. 2. Road trip for fam, but not me because, see #1. 3. Planning 4. Packing 5. Work deliverables. Really. In a week of a trade show. Right?  And, true to form, my Inner Goddess decides to run the fashion show so instead of being satisfied with black capris and my logo polos at the show? I'm going to wear grownup clothes. And hopefully feel like a grownup. With maybe a little style. Outfits for show include: 1. Little black dress, metallic black and gold reptile (distressed) leather sandals with medium heel, pounded gold jewelry. 2.Black and white sleeveless dress with a rounded neck and a form fit. Wearing emerald earrings with that. And cute but comfy low heeled black sandals.  3. Chiffon-y soft toned sleeveless blouse (with a large rose print that looks surprisingly pretty) with scoopy neck, black capris, black platform Bass sandals and big silver loop earrings. Other outfits to ta...
