Thoughts, inspiration, balance… and randomness
Japanese Gardens. Chinese Dim Sum restaurants. Some office buildings. Maybe your house. All places where one may find a beautiful (and endlessly hungry) koi population. According to http://www.koi-pond-guide.com, koi fish symbolize good luck, abundance and perseverance. In Buddhism, they represent courage. Today, koi are considered to be symbolic of advancement materially and spiritually. I think … Continue reading Koil Painting
Went to the Doc this week for my annual check up. I'm a freak about prevention. Doc annually, lady parts annually, dentist three to four cleanings a year, eye doc yearly, stocked supply of Emergen-C. Went through the usual rigmarole for a doc's visit. I'm going to be thirty-five in two weeks, but have felt … Continue reading The Bad Oyster
Ha ha... I totally tricked you into thinking there is a yoga pose called Pastasana. It would probably be in the same asana family as carbohydrasana... because this post is all about PASTA. About ten years ago, I became very interested in fresh pasta. I was living in Seattle, and a little shop popped up … Continue reading Pastasana
I know, it's a stretch. But I wanted to talk about two things today: Heron Pose (Krounchasana) and Drinking Water. If you are from LA (or not from LA, but come to visit) you probably will notice the LA water. Being a Seattle native, I can say, it's not the best water. Most people I … Continue reading Heron Brockovich
is what you get/feel when you visit the savvy, talented and insanely gorgeous Paul Norton, hairstylist extraordinaire. It's also what you see when you meet him. Ah, I remember when I first met Paul. I was living in West Hollywood, and had finally found a gal that I loved who could cut hair. When she … Continue reading Beautiful, Beautiful

It's the name of my current favorite TV show (Thank you, Biebersons) 3. With whom I spent my weekend. Let's keep it organized and go in order. 1. GIRLS- … Continue reading GIRLS
Ah, the romantic in me still believes... Not that I want a long-distance relationship or anything.... but this is beautifully shot. Happy Sunday 🙂 Splitscreen: A Love Story by James W Griffiths
I carry these two little cards in my wallet wherever I go. Mainly because I eat out a lot, but also on the occasion when I buy/eat produce or seafood, I like to know what I am buying/eating. Fortunately, for the most part, I get my produce from Farm Fresh to You, an all-organic cooperative … Continue reading Do You Know What You’re Eating?
I don't typically like using the f-bomb, but when I went out with the Professor tonight, she told me this was on the agenda. The Professor is one of my super smart, super sexy lady friends. And she knows what she is doing. So when she suggested we meet up downtown and start our night … Continue reading Mastering the Eye-F
There are two things that pump me up about spring besides singing birds, blooming flowers and sunny weather. Rhubarb and The Bachelor/Bachelorette. First, the Bachelorette. I am so excited to watch Emily (aka the closest thing to a natural, human Barbie) find "love". Yes, it's stupid. And we all know what's going to happen. But … Continue reading Rhu-Barbie
