A RANDOM HUMP DAY HUDDLE...sporting some casual fashion, LOVE and...R O A D T R I P !

hellooooo lovelies!

 let's huddle!

we often speak "sports metaphor" in the house.

believe me, it was an incremental part of parenting at times.

we anticipate the occasional hard to hit curve ball,

we know how to tackle, and love the feeling of accomplishing a  home run!

"off course?"

"sand trap?"

"get up and out of that bunker, life is great up on the green!"

(it's no wonder that i am the mom of a television "sports guy", and a daughter 

who has run marathons of miles!)

huddle?

(who doesn't need a little hump day half way pep talk once in a while!

each day can be...an "opening day"!)

" a day when the slate is wiped clean and a new season of 
self-growth and abundance begins. to 

step onto our metaphorical fields and not worry about 

what others think or say, but to do what we 

came out here to do–play our game with passion

 and purpose to the best of our ability." 

~Luke Iorio

sure it's  cliché ...but it's totally OK if it helps one hit

that occasional three point... from the corner!

during the past few

weeks,

i have met some

wonderful

new blog friends! 

thank you so much for

taking the time to leave a

comment introduction!

welcome!

my blog has introduced me to so many genuine, lovely, caring and inspiring people.

i love that we share ideas, thoughts, the highs and sometimes the lows in life...

i love our "pep talks"!

j'aime notre poésie!
(yes, there can be poetry inside a huddle!)

always...

...i mean always...you will find lift, laughter, and lovely 

within the hearts and souls that gather here!

working on

lowering my

cholesterol, i am

dying to wear two 

size down white

jeans on Memorial

Day weekend!

                                                                        (chambray blue with pearls and polka dots!)

the image above is of my beautiful Chrislyn at sweet Mr Ben's first visit to the dentist the week before last.

Ben was a perfect patient.

Dr Yoshino's dental assistant couldn't resist this Kodak Instagram moment!

it will be a great memory for his baby book!

the late 90's? )
