Bliss is

Bliss is...

Summer days with sunshine, sleep and too many good friends to count.

Watching two wonderfully open, giving people say vows to one another and feeling so blessed to be invited into their union...then partying hard with their families.

Views from a vineyard wedding
Saturday morning yoga on days when you wake up thinking that an hour and a half on the mat seems unbearable, then experiencing the out-of-body prayerful, spiritual high for hours afterward.

Baseball games and Budlight, shared with bffs on a girls ballgame day, and watching the best team (Oakland) win.

Walking through a city that sometimes feels so torn, yet always feels so right... finding joy in the faces that wish you a good morning, and finding God in the faces that don't.

Morning conversations with my Mama and feeling so close to her, even though it's so far.

Cheap lavender in bottles spread through our home, reminding me to relax at every tabletop.

Sunsets over the bay, seafood caught in the water beneath our toes, wine to pair and so much, so much laughter and dancing. 



Notes around the house that end in "Love".

Feeling welcomed into a new family unconditionally, and learning to love more deeply by watching the joy around me.

Fresh fruit, veggies and meat, and someone to help prepare and eat the nourishment.

Feeling hopeful for everything that's to come, yet finding so much peace with being right here, right now.
