A Spring Road Trip Mix Tape

It's road trip time!

I've been getting things ready, i.e.: finding someone to take care of my feline friends, making sure I have appropriate clothing and shoes since I will be in a slightly different climate, getting my car all ship shape and most importantly creating a new playlist. I've been in desperate need of new music so there are new (to me) tracks and tracks a bit off the beaten path.

Here it is. Enjoy!

 Really enjoying this song

How about breakfast with one of these?

My affirmation lately: "Something is now manifesting for me in totally satisfying and harmonious ways."

Have you heard Thandie Newton's Ted Talk?

Oh yes, this is luscious.

Nothing is more important than self-care. Nothing. Check out this list of 55 gentle ways to take care of you. Or make your own list (even better because nobody knows what you need like you do) and share a few of your favorite items in the comments below.

For those of you in the path of the storm, real or metaphorical, take good care and be safe.

Big Sur and the Henry Miller Memorial Library

Gorgeous Big Sur, I will come and visit you for any excuse I can find. You are lovely in every way and my heart is a willing captive to your infinite charms.

Yesterday, we had a wonderful opportunity to drive Daysha down to the Henry Miller Memorial Library for the Rookie Roadtrip Meetup. Oh, twist my arm, I said to her when she asked. I love the Henry Miller Library. While she hung out, we browsed the books and the art, sat outside on the deck and sipped tea. It was so relaxing and inspiring. If you have never been, it's really a must do/see. In addition to the library/bookstore, they host films and music and bring in lots of great talent and a cool crowd.

I absolutely love this poster! Bela Lugoi as Dracula was my favorite character when I was growing up. I loved to watch all of the monster movies. And of course, who can compare to Phillip Glass? This poster is from a few months ago...I would have loved to have seen this.

Amen.

Amazing by One EskimO

I've been listening the the song, Amazing by One EskimO lately and just love it. The lyrics are below and here is a link to their amazing website: http://www.oneeskimo.com  

I feel sweet
Do you feel sweet?
It’s amazing
I have no skin
And I feel everything
It’s amazing
I feel good
When you feel good
I knew I would
And it’s amazing
I’ve wanted this for so long
Now the deed has been done
We shall rise with the sun
And spend our time as one

Now there is no sin
In anything
And it’s amazing
I love life
I hope you do too
‘Cause I love everything
It’s all amazing
I feel you
Do you feel you?
I understand
When they say we’re born again
“Cause I feel born again
I’m born again
And it’s amazing
And it’s the best thing
And it’s glorious
It’s life changing
This feeling
Is amazing
It’s the best thing
It’s glorious
It’s life changing

This feeling

This feeling
Oh lord this feeling
It’s amazing
It’s in the stars
In the sun
It’s everywhere
In everyone
And it will be every day
From now on
From now on
We are one
And it’s amazing
It’s in the stars
In the sun
It’s everywhere
In everyone
And it will be every day
From now on
From now on
We are one
And it’s amazing
It’s in the stars
In the sun
It’s everywhere
In everyone
And it will be every day
From now on
From now on
We are one
And it’s amazing
