Attract more bees with honey. 

Fairytale

What would a Waldorf Fairy do??

Looking to Rudolph STEINER (WALDORF Education) for deeper meaning - for ESSENCE and SIGNIFICANCE (the most PROFOUND I have ever found!) - in consideration, selection and implementation of desired surface changes (food, clothing, shelter).

Rad


You know you’re having a pretty RAD summer when you’d rather PLAY in that lame purple bikini AGAIN (and be seen in it!) than stop to go SHOPPING.

My Armoire

 

As a former clothing COLLECTOR (hoarder-squirrel ๐Ÿฟ️!) this is a new frontier for me —

Wear your SEASONAL (shop once quarterly max) wardrobe so much that there is no question as to whether you love and keep the clothing longer OR, NO QUALMS, they’ve fulfilled their destiny and you don’t! 

Mountain Mama Summer Wardrobe, as of Late July:
๐Ÿ’škeep ๐Ÿ’›this is its last season ❤️already out the door  ๐Ÿ’™hmmm๐Ÿง

๐Ÿ’›Silver espadrilles - wearing through
❤️Black river shoes (pictured above) - stretched from last Summer, already said See Ya (poubelle)
๐Ÿ’›Flip-flops - maintaining
๐Ÿ’›Crazy Crocs - worse for wear, as used for all hikes and most bikes
๐Ÿ’›Purple bandana bikini - hanging on for dear life
๐Ÿ’›White & Blue One piece - yellowing at edges 
๐Ÿ’™Tomato soup cashmere sweater - soft as ever, maybe showing age?
๐Ÿ’›Skull Sweater - last hurrah 
๐Ÿ’šPrairie skirt (pictured) - good to go ๐Ÿ˜… 
๐Ÿ’š2x Shorts - just fine 
๐Ÿ’šTaupe linen pants - surprisingly great
๐Ÿ’šFlowered cross-body bag (pictured) - still fresh 
๐Ÿ’›Rose tote - wilting
๐Ÿ’™2x Camisoles and 2x T’s - washing well
๐Ÿ’šSweats - new this trip :)
๐Ÿ’šPJ’s - beddable 
๐Ÿ’šSilk Dress - unfortunately unworn since childcare disappeared into thin air ๐ŸŒฌ️ 
๐Ÿ’šShiny amethyst long cardigan - keeper
๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’œJewels - lovely and sentimental as ever.๐Ÿ’• 

The forced Capsule Collection that comes inherently with travel is blissful. My dear friend says all of her belongings (ALL!?) would “fit into an armoire”. What a beautiful image and, sigh, dare I say, Holy Grail, in these excessive times.

Dirndl

 

Dirndl 
Liebe - Love

How do we, as women, find our personal UNIFORM in the current CHAOS of literally unlimited options?

You are yours ๐Ÿ’˜

 


What’s the next ITERATION of YOU?? Decide as though no one else gives a !&*% — because they don’t!! ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’”

๐Ÿฆ‚

 

Balasana - Child’s Pose

Sometimes I forget to be kind. (Ingrained Scorpio habits die hard.) So I APOLOGIZE and try to be better. (There has been a marked decrease in my instinctual ‘revenge’ ways.)

July 16, 2025

A little bit hurt, but a lot more free

 

Paschimottanasana - Seated Forward Fold

It may feel like a loss, but did you wish for lightness? ✨ 


July 15, 2025

PR

 

Upavistha Konasana - Wide Angle Forward Bend Pose

Put a positive spin on it ALL - leave others feeling better and lighter after your encounter.

This moment ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿน๐Ÿฆ

 

Prasarita Padottanasana - Wide Legged Forward Bend Pose 
Variation Both Hands On One Ankle

Be. Here. Now.

Trikonasana - Triangle Pose

Instructors will most often cue the trikonasana drishti ๐Ÿ‘️ upwards to the skyward reaching hand, but I prefer to gaze down when GROUNDing is called for. During TURBULENT times FOCUS on your FOOTING. Literally. 

July 12, 2025

Solvent ๐Ÿš

Buddha Konasana - Butterfly Pose ๐Ÿฆ‹ 

It may feel inopportune (especially in social summer!) but when the appropriate resolve of a weighty decision is OBSCUREd, go inward. Alone time. NO OUTSIDE OPINIONS. Re-cocoon.

Draw the line ✍️

 

Utkatasana - Chair Pose

Kind but firm. Generous but self-respecting. Where is the line? How do you draw it?

Press Pause

 

Vatayasana - Horse Pose

When matters get twisted, turned around, upside-down, fast-forwarded or rewound. Press PAUSE.

Babies ARE yoga

 

Ananda Balasana - Happy Baby Pose

FYI Kids don’t need yoga class — CHILDREN are our GURUS. ๐Ÿ˜ป๐Ÿงš‍♀️

Foregone conclusion

 

Padangustasana - Toe Stand Pose

Expect the unexpected. Or surmise that it was entirely anticipated after all.

“Crazy”

 

Ardha Chandrasana - Half Moon Backbend, Bikram Yoga

Bushwhack

 

Bhekasana - Frog Pose 

The more populated your area, the more critical to your survival it is to Bushwhack — to machete your own path !!! (As in, the herd is headed to the slaughterhouse — go your own way.) ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Alien ๐Ÿ‘ฝ

 

Mandukasana - Frog Pose

Most times I have nowhere to be, which makes me practically an alien in this rushy-rushy society. 

๐ŸŒฒ Tada !! ๐ŸŒณ

 

Paschimottanasana Namaskarasana- Reverse Prayer Pose, Reverse Namaste 

Wear what YOU like for your yoga or hike.
