The Physics of the Quest

“I've come to believe that there exists in the universe something I call 'The Physics of The Quest' — a force of nature governed by laws as real as the laws of gravity or momentum. And the rule of Quest Physics maybe goes like this: 'If you are brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting (which can be anything from your house to your bitter old resentments) and set out on a truth-seeking journey (either externally or internally), and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue, and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher, and if you are prepared – most of all – to face (and forgive) some very difficult realities about yourself... then truth will not be withheld from you.' Or so I've come to believe.”

-Liz Gilbert

How to start.

Sunday Mood

Monday Morning Thoughts

This week's theme.

September is the new January

We're making September the new January. 

Time to reflect and redirect what's not working.

Here are my new season resolutions, big and small:

1. Be better at keeping in touch with old friends. 

And new friends. Especially, Kate and Christy. Those two!

2. Switch up the make up routine. So long, beloved Laguna.

NARS Blush in Seduction

3. Well, I drank the Goop Kool Aid. No going back now.

Within by Dr. Habib Sadeghi, father of "conscious uncoupling"

4. New signature scent. This one's unisex, a la 

"Unbreakable" by Khloe and Lamar. Except, well, :(

Khiel's Aromatic Blends Fig Leaf & Sage

5. Relax more. And not have a guilt complex over it.

Diptyque Precious Oils for Body & Bath

6. A little less Netflix, a little more reading. 

After my summer in South Africa, I'm going to start

 with the fearless Nadine Gordimer.

7. Either go all Jared Leto on you....

...or start taking better care of my $$ blonde hair.

7. Wear yoga pants....to an actual yoga class.

First stop, finally trying anti-gravity yoga. 

Stone Fox Heather Andersen of New York Pilates

8. To redirect paths confidently and unapologetically.

All with this in mind:

HAPPY SEPTEMBER!

Yoga Girl Challenge

As I work to figure out my next step, I've been looking towards

people like Rachel Brathen for sources of clarity

and calmness. Oh, and to wine. Rachel is currently leading the 

"Yoga Girl Challenge" and it's great. Follow along on her

Instagram (@yoga_girl). Here is today, Day 13's, challenge:

"Tomorrow is Day 13 of the #yogagirlchallenge and the theme is Be Fearless! I want you to take a moment to sit down in silence and figure out what really scares you. On a deep level. We all have something that terrifies us and chills us to the bone. Meditation is a good way to bring that fear forth - close your eyes, focus on your breath and listen to your heart. What scares you? It could be so many things but I invite you to simply choose one. Are you scared of heights? Of spiders? The ocean? Are you afraid of being alone? Of taking the next step? Of trusting your intuition and you inner guidance? First, find out what's really holding you back. Then, dedicate tomorrow to overcoming this fear.. Start with little steps and keep building from there. You're scared of heights? Begin with a step ladder. You're scared of the ocean? Dip your feet in the water. Do what you have if do, and know that for every step you take you are essentially overcoming your fears m, little by little. Give it time. Be patient and know that you must let go of the old to make space for the new. You have the power to overcome. Be fearless! Live from the heart, find courage and overcome a fear tomorrow. You can do it. I believe in you!!! What fear are you going to work on? Share a picture of anything related to it and don't forget to tag @yoga_girl and #yogagirlchallenge #day13 #throwback #love #happy #love #breathe #smile"

Furbish Studio Prints

Housekeeping | Lips | Cabana | Bad Taste | Donkey

I've gone on several Furbish Studio shopping sprees lately 

and these new prints were the first items in my cart. 

Furbish is an adorable shop based in North Carolina and 

curated by the talented Jamie Meares. The pieces shipped 

super quickly and even came with a cute little thank you card. 

I highly recommend. Now get shopping.
