Fuel gauge

My heart is still in no-business mode.

40 days away from a home, schedule and phone full of trappings — it’s not easy returning to all that I must SUPERINTEND. The separation will fuel me in ejecting more, mas, encore !!! And sooner not later. 

While away the hours

 

Returning from a 40 day hiatus, I had 3 (mostly) uninterrupted hours to reflect. 

While in LIMBO - (and perchance even alone,) on a long drive, airplane ride or other commute - we are proffered an ideal time for introspection and reflection; if we don’t kill the opportunity with distraction📱!

Housedressy

 

I ❤️💛💜 Housedress 

Not sheer, past the knees, poitrine concealed. 

Natural in fiber, of course.

The best Housedress is the one you can answer the door, grab the mail, chat with neighbor, and maybe even walk the dog in (if you live in the sticks like me). 

24/7

 

Cool summer rain shower while in the hot tub. When full-time stay-at-home parenting, it is essential to find pockets of (sensory) pleasure.

Tan Lines 🖊️

 

I 💛 Tan Lines, (Highlighters & Sharpies).

Celestial zenith

 

Sukhasana - Easy Pose

Mothering (fathering, teaching, nannying, mentoring,) children is the ultimate sacrifice, but the equally zenith reward is never wondering if your life has purpose or meaning. 

She’s so misty

Standing Squat Pose on Tip Toes

It was a bustling, clamorous day at the pool with nary a place to unwind, but I lay myself on the one-and-only empty chaise longue and somehow the extra ‘static’ helped a Message come in sunny. As the other adults sympathized and the children splashed — HUSH — I experienced an UNVEILing amidst the MIST. An aha in the hubbub. 
 

Swedish

 

Utkata Konasana - Goddess Pose with forward bend

Hands on ankles, arms follow leg shape

Lighten your hair in Summer by swimming (in salt water) often, often, often and - no rinsing - allow to sun-dry. Also, concentrated Chamomile Tea, Lemon Juice, raw Honey with Cinnamon, Olive Oil, diluted Hydrogen Peroxide 😉 (aka Sun-In) and … SUN SUN SUN.

Tried and True

 

Utkata Konasana - Goddess with side stretch

LOST ?? Well, it’s no doubt when the outside influences are more rampant than ever and now inside our homes (phones). FIND yourself by returning to PERSONAL CLASSICS - YOUR tried and trues. Similar to the influencers you are compelled towards, who present their own (one or two) areas of mastery. 

Bug out

 

Mandukasana - Frog Pose

The refuge will be there waiting until next time. 

Bittersweet

 

Eka Pada Raja Kapotasana - One-legged King Pigeon Pose

All of a sudden, out of nowhere it feels like the beginning of the the end (of Summer break). The reclusive weeks in the chic bug-out are dwindling down to mere days. 

Open

 

OPEN up your energy.
