[given] to love

i enjoy touching them. dragging my fingers across them. pressing my fingers in the soft valleys. and the point where the two meet, ever so slightly imperfect.

and you? the sexiest part of your own body?

the quality or state of being complete or undivided | COMPLETENESS ♥

. jen + jd whose new work i caught last week.“feeder” is an unconventional love story told in an unconventional way and it is absolutely amazing! it resonated with me on so many levels. it touched on one of my biggest personal fears, leaving me feeling deeply inspired and extremely lucky to have these two in my life. plus jen is such a powerhouse! i want to be like her when i grow up.

. i didn’t meet the beau’s parental units this weekend. i admit to feeling a bit relieved, but also a bit disappointed. oh well. a good excuse to visit to memphis!

. how much warmer 30° feels in the sun than in the shade.

. only 17 days until coachella! and exactly two weeks from today, i’ll be exchanging embraces with my incredible little sister! can’t wait! can’t wait!

. dior addict ultra gloss in black-tie plum makes me feel like alek wek. simply rocking my world.

. when life, with all its unfairness, throws me a bone.

. my intuition. it’s never failed me and i’ve finally begun to pay closer attention to it.

. mean people, because they help me gauge how enlightened i perceive myself to be and i can attempt to practice loving kindness.

. learning about a former lover’s new lady. i’m unaffected and it feels so good.

. cat, my saturday afternoon partner in crime, whose energy and creativity are constant source of inspiration. even when she does questionable sh*t, i love her for her genuineness and her inability to be anyone but herself unapologetically. she’s a pretty rad lady.

what better way to greet spring than with a great pair of braided raffia wedges. i love these sandals!  so cute! 

. pastor bahr. a former patient of my mother’s who shows his gratitude by doing our taxes gratis. he’s a very kind and generous man. after stressing for weeks over the huge number i expected i would be paying the government, i can be at peace knowing that i have someone looking out for me and my meager earnings.

. my fella met my momy and i feel like i can almost breath now. (i’ll exhale when i meet his folks this weekend… eeeee!)

. creative work on my calendar through the summer.

. arlene, who keeps reminding me the importance of taking holidays. she’s gone on vacation three times this year. naturally, she looks exactly 20 years younger than she is. phenomenal.

. my mom finally realizing her professional value and coming to the resolution to leave her thankless job of 25 years for more rewarding work. i hoping i can help quiet all the little haters in her head—attempting to transform a humble farm girl into a cocky business woman is a challenge i think we can all see the significance in. 

. an injury that’s brought my focus back inside. i was getting ahead of myself, but there’s a lot of work to be done in here.  

. my ipod came back to life! 

. calen’s thought on taking holidays after returning from four days in the caribbean: vacation shouldn’t be about getting away from life and work; life and work should be so good that holidays only further enrich your good life. yea. that’s what i’m saying.

. [spicy apple ginger chews]. i hadn’t had some in a minute and then i ate a whole bag in a day. my only regret is not buying more than one bag.
