Summer's End

I really want to make it a goal of mine to try to keep up with my blog a bit more. It's hard though with so many things always going on. But honestly I shall try. With summer ending right around the corner, I wanted to do a recap of all that happened including some pictures! When I think back to it all, part of my heart feels sad for the lack of bathing suits I actually got to wear and BBQ's I had hoped to be sipping sweet lemonade at. But that's okay because in their replacement, I was busy getting my store Red Moon Arrow ready for it's grand debut and bustling around California. A trip to the Mendocino coast here and there with some kayaking in between, a week in the Yolla Bolly Wilderness with 7 amazing womyn, flower essence training in Nevada City with a dear soul sister, and even managing a trip to New York/Brooklyn last month. Went to a Sade concert in Oakland and she brought me to tears because she was so beautiful. There was a "Circus in the Woods" party up on our new land to celebrate my new 29 digits, a clothing swap in Placerville with my sister and friends, and now I feel myself winding down to set my soul into the leaves of fall. So as the evenings start to require an extra layer, I am getting ready for this next season. Autumn, my favorite time of year. And with that, the planning of my Halloween costume and the expansion of Red Moon Arrow into a bigger space! Hope you all are happy, healthy and well as we make the transition into Fall.
