January 2010 the yellow sunglasses gave me the idea for making a mosaic using trash I found on the beaches of California. Today, it is complete...my largest and most important piece of art that I've created. I'm extremely happy that these pieces of trash will never make it to the ocean. I hope this art will educate, and encourage everyone to help keep our oceans clean.

It's the "Day of Love"...so I spent my Valentine's Day doing things that I love to do. I started my morning with a gorgeous beach run, and have been rockin' out in my studio putting the final pieces into my mosaic. I'm so excited to finish this piece and it will be ready to grout later this week! Yay! Tonight I'll be having dinner with two handsome smashing young men (my sons)...this just might be the best Valentine's Day I've ever had :)

When I was a little girl I used to hang off my bed and pretend my house had been turned upside-down and I could walk on the ceilings. Lately I feel like my whole life has been turned upside-down...can't wait for things to straighten up again.

There is something about succulents that I just love. This one captured my attention while walking back to my car. I like how it's bursting through the fence, saying notice me. I am not a flower, but I am just as beautiful.

A few sprinkles on our walk today turned into a downpour but Lucy didn't mind a bit.

One of my favorite things about living in California is the palm trees. There is something about a palm that makes you think vacation, warm days and relaxation.

Weeks of rain in December created mammoth weeds in my yard, but sliced my water bill in half for the month.

I am addicted to running. I see people running along the road as I'm driving by and get jealous...wishing I could pull over and join them. Running with friends is my therapy...running alone clears my mind. My favorite race last year was a trail run. Part of the course was a single track through the trees and at one point I was alone...it was such a zen experience. Next up....my 5th mud run in April!
