its august. i'm just starting to feel this summer thing. oozing into it as deeply as i can. i'm just getting back from a dreamy east coast getaway, felt like the epitome of summer. lots of sun, magnificent beaches, popsicle making and music on an island i fell fast in love with. it was heaven. getting home now i've got magazines in my mailbox with fall fashion, fall colors all over the covers. heck no, i'm not ready. they're going into a stack until september. i made a playlist of songs i'm diggin' this summer. you can listen here

summer lovin...
Friday, July 9, 2010 at 7:01PM i've been away since fall. and oh, what 8 months of change it has been. you see, a chapter of love lost was ended. and a chapter of new and the most surprising love found began. its a crazy love story, one that i've told over and over. and feel so lucky to have such wonderful and open people in my life to share it with. i'm gonna come out with it already and spill the beans right here & now. I'M IN LOVE WITH A GIRL!!! and her name is rachel. and she has reminded me that there is magic in the world. and that love truly is all you need. that the unkown can be the most wonderful gift and if we just stay open and listen, anything can happen.
i found my sunshine in her. i found my sunshine in me.
as summer begins to trickle in, and i say trickle because its been darned cloudy and gloomy here in santa monica, i feel myself surrendering to its ways and the yuminess that it brings.
a man, who i just adore beyond words, happens to be rachel's father and quite the magic maker himself. he sent over this most beautiful note to his daughter reminding her to be patient during this transitional time and i think it is so stunningly beautiful, so appropriate for summer and words to live by.
you are a fisherman with lines in the water
waiting for your bobbers to move
while you are waiting you can enjoy
the beauty of the lake and the forest
the clouds and the blue sky
have fun every day and don't feel bad about it
when a bobber dips below the surface
play with the fish and wait until
she takes a big bite and is hooked
then reel her in
photo: 3191 miles apart
as i was reading thru some of my favorite blogs i got stuck on orangette and was loving her past summer's photos along with a list she created for summer. and she took me over to another favorite 3191 miles apart and set my heart a flutter looking through her photos and uber dreamy must have, must do, must feel lists. gosh, i love summer. and i'm inspired to work on one of these nifty lists myself. happy weekend! xo
