ShareI’m having an affair.  I thought you should be the first to know.  You’ve likely surmised as much if you follow my social media updates. But I thought I should come clean with my confession here, in a more intimate setting: I’m passionately in love with nature. “Earth laughs in flowers.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson […]

Share                I love lights and sparkle and glimmer and shimmer as much as anyone, but I think nature can fit the bill for “festive” as well. Today’s Twitter #FriFoto theme is just that; festive.  My mind turned to this one recent favorite snapshot I took of nearby Lake […]

ShareGratitudinousness.  It’s one of my favorite conjured words. And it really works in that gratitude is such a BIG concept…I think it kinda needs more greedy letters 🙂 “We don’t need more to be thankful for, we might just need to be more thankful.” Unknown Many who know me in my life and on Twitter […]

ShareI should have known better. Here I thought I had seen all of the magic and delights that my little yet fantabulous artful town could muster, and I was once again broadsided. Oops, “broad-sided” might be actually too apt a word for what hit me recently on another enchanting night at Café Aroma… as in […]

Snowshoeing Idyllwild: What a Way to Winter Wonderland it!

Share I once held the opinion that snow shoeing seemed dull and plodding.  I was foolishly comparing it to my other winter sport of choice: downhill skiing.  Now I know better 🙂 True, there is the absence of the adrenaline rush, unless you count, of course, the hair curling screams of local abominable snow beasts […]

ShareI was graciously invited by the travel site GotSaga.com to list five favorite highlights of the town where I live; Idyllwild.  But anyone who knows me at ALL knows I have a problem with minimalism and restrictions 😀  So, the fifth item I listed was actually a conglomeration of Cultural Festivals/Indulgences.  I would like to […]

ShareI figured out my own YouTube account just in time to share some gems from this event I participated in and enjoyed this past weekend.  Which is a good thing, because when it comes to belly dancing and fusion dance styles, words just don’t do it justice!  The entire production was planned and orchestrated by […]

Peaking: My First Summit

ShareI did it!  We hiked to a real life peak – AND I procured the very coveted Squirrel Card from the rangers at the fire look-out tower! Specs: Tahquitz Peak 8828’ Elevation 8.6 Miles OK, so it’s not a monster, but it’s a fine start I think.  Went up the south ridge trail and by […]
