(first 10 miler in 2.5 years!)
may I please have a collective
"you go girl!"
with a fist pump?!
(in training for Santa Cruz half marathon! eeek!)

thanks!
: .P
yeah, yeah, yeah!
too much has happened and I didn't feel like talking about it.
but I have done some art...
went hiking Mission Peak with the boys from work.
Paul took this shot of me & Abdul at the top.
you can't tell that its about 43 degrees out,
and windy.
brrrrr!!! LOL!!!
we have cows!!!
(yes P, I bought the farm animal veneer, just for the cows! : .)
Paul & I were discussing how fortunate we were to be fit and active,
and have the most beautiful places to work out!
another day in paradise!

this next piece was inspired by
Paramore's Brick by Boring Brick
someone asked me if I was angry when I made it...
mostly just frustrated...
and I couldn't get the lyrics out of my head.
also been doing a little reading about the concept of
loving-kindness, maitri
and vulnerability...
"When we lay wide open with our hearts completely present,
it is the most accurate measurement of courage."
That is really, really hard...
I practiced this.
it didn't make for the outcome I wanted, but I wouldn't change a thing.
and I'll keep trying.

And the last piece is just as amazing. The colors are gorgeous! Did you cut her out? She looks 3D. Love the layers in the same colors!
You go girl! Have been thinking about you LOTS! I don't know if I have that much courage, but a great quote. <3
Stole the pic of Ripping Wings off Butterflies piece 'cause it is cool --and my 14 year old daughter will think it is cool, too.
