Amorous by Waikiki will be in member review late September.
I LOVED shooting this set early in the morning at Shootfest in SF this spring. All the little SG beauties were dolling up and giggling around the apartment and Waikiki and I tucked away into a corner to shoot this.

my time is coming to an end here.

i have a brutal summer cold.

I have a neighbor that I'm pretty sure is going to rape and fucking murder me. So that is bothering me.

I've been working really hard.
My intention with each practice session has been patience with my healing body. I've cried from frustration in and after classes. But this little glimmer of light... or giant ball of sunshine, rather, is worth all the tears and frustration. When I started practicing again after my accident I couldn't lift my arms over my head or even move my neck left to right. I feel so overwhelmingly grateful right now.

quitting drinking =

My 28th birthday is rapidly approaching and it happens to fall on the same day I hit my 90th day alcohol free. Although this year has already posed some challenges I can honestly say I've never been so certain of where I'm going and who I am. I'm opening up spiritually and have started some energy work and am learning how to use my empathetic abilities for healing; myself and others. My yoga practice is growing stronger and more beautiful. Physically I'm opening up more and I feel so strong. So far removed from my body crushing (literally) car accident last year. But the really big change is psychological. How I react (or don't react) to things. How I'm approaching life and others. It's amazing.

Anyway, enough about me. What are some positive changes happening in your life?

लोकाः समस्ताः सुखिनो भवंतु

I'm currently studying Karma Yoga in depth and have been inspired to veer my life in a direction with even more positive actions and selfless service. I guessed I was wasting at least SIX hours a week on Facebook. At least. So I deleted it and I'm using that time to volunteer at a women's shelter close(ish) to where I work. A darling and dear friend of mine (longtime readers you may remember him as the boy I had the hots for years ago with tattoos on his face) just donated to them just because he had some "extra money he didn't need". How truly inspiring and grounding.
So this is the part where I urge you to take some time out of your busy schedule to donate time or money to a cause you feel strongly about. Especially if you practice physical Yoga I urge you to expand your practice and do some good for others that need it. I grew up volunteering at soup kitchens with my dad on the weekends. He was there constantly on his days off. And he worked 60 hours a week (at least), coached teams, wrote books, furthered his education and was/is a killer dad.
So no excuses, right?

Some things are so far away now it seems as though they never even happened at all.
