The Moments in Between

It's been a while since my last post, what can I say? It's been nice here and I have been trying to savour each moment. I have been using the instagram app on my phone and love how it filters pictures to give a different look and feel. Here are a few of my favourite images.

Office reflections.

Lunch break escape.

Just beachy.

Driving through the mountains.

Alfa Romeo. Meow!

Swim to the beach.

Evening light on rapids.

Highway home.

Perfecto pizza!

I hope you all have enjoyed your summer. Fall is coming soon, a great time for reflection and new projects. I'm excited to see what's in store.

Much love,

Hometown Bound

I am heading back east in search of summer. I am excited to visit with family and friends and feel the heat of summer. Vancouver's summer has been a bit finicky but last night held promise of beautiful summer evenings and sunsets like the one pictured above. 

Au revoir and see you soon!

Contemplation

I am reading the yoga sutras, the bible of yoga, for my teacher trainings. In order to get into the mode, a girlfriend suggested I find a spot in a nearby park. A great idea as it has been very stuffy in my apartment with our second heat wave of the summer.


So there I sat under a tree, contemplating the meaning of the sutras. So far, I am learning it's about how to quiet the mind, find stillness, go within and just be - much like the tree.

Ode to Summer

It’s hot. It’s bed sheets only, don’t even put your pinky toe near me hot. Summer is here and with it comes tank tops, flip flops, air-dry hair and slow down and take it easy I’m not that hungry but that beer sure looks good, please pass it to me.

 In the midst of this heat I am reminded, flashback style, of summer days of the past. Venturing to the rock quarry with friends to cool off in the watery abyss waiting for night time to come so we could build fires and play music and laugh until the early morning, getting home right before anyone would notice you were gone for so long (hi mom).

Here’s to creating more memories so that we can look back and say those were some great times! And so I tip my glass of froth to you, a summer salute, if you will. Cheers to a great summer for all!
