time is flying by..i want to ride along



oh, happy happy friday everyone!

today was such a busy day.
i felt like i was flying around town, racing from here to there.
you know those days
when you have to consciously slow yourself down
to really breathe and enjoy the sunshine.

i had a beautiful story planned for you guys
and then life happened,
my projects today took twice as long as i had hoped,
things really changed..
(in happy and surprising ways, actually!)
so i decided to save the story for you
for next week.


for now, i'd like to share this image with you (above)
it's one i took this week
as part of a little film project i've started.
nothing big, but a new little creative exercise.

it grew out of a realization that's been dawning on me lately.
it's about coming to terms with
living in this small small town.
(after living in austin, houston and especially, los angeles)
you realize that at the end of the day,
you have to make your own fun.
(when did i forget this??!)

so i traipsed into the cemetery next to my house
(it's our little 'park' with huge beautiful trees)
and tried capturing the wind on film.

there were people nearby who i know must've thought
i was a lunatic.
hanging dresses in trees in a cemetery..i can only imagine how it looked!
hilarious now that i think about it.
but,
i was really having fun
and the trees are the only green in town at this moment..
and
the wind was just catching the fabric so gorgeously..
and i had promised myself to stay focused on the creativity
and not worry what people think.
so there it began.
and now it's a work in progress
and i look forward to showing you more as it develops.

in the meantime,
have a really inspiring and lovely weekend.
what are you going to do???
i'd really love to hear.
