everyday offers a new begging, a fresh start, a way of letting go of yesterday's dirt even if it wasn't so dirty. in fact, my yesterday's for the past few months have been marvi! I'm near certain there were struggles, in fact, I know there were. I can look back even to yesterday and see a few hurtles, but that isn't what I revel in. I revel in the fact that because I have learned to take each day in stride, each step becomes easier as I make that climb to my destination. but then we all know it isn't the destination that brings such joy and growth, but the journey!
on december 26th I took a trek to my favorite coffee spot in long beach, viento y agua and ordered my usual killa tomato on a sun dried tomato bagel with tofuti and my cafe con leche with soy. the music was, as always, perfect! lola and I sat in our favorite corner by the window and were pleasantly surprised to see my favorite patron, bob sinclair. he sings the 'cafe con leche' song and I am PUSHING like crazy to get him to record this little ditty so we can share it here. [bob, you are an amazing person and I am one lucky lady to have been blessed by your presence]

I THINK I have bob convinced [fingers crossed]
lola & I took a walk through the neighborhood towards a friend's new home. 'congratulations to sara and eric' on their new home!!! while enjoying the perfect day ofter weather, my lil roxy requests a visit to the beach. how do I deny the pleasure on such a gorgeous day? so, after a quick gift exchange with my ava [thank you for the clever gift. I now have the perfect picnic basket for the beach], I headed home to grab up the child, change the shoes and take the camera out.
after a random and quick convo with digum, we decided we'd visit the tide pools at corona del mar off poppy [my favorite street]. I'll allow the photos to speak for t hemselves, but begin with this:
as a child, and even in my twenties, I had the desire to live in this hood off poppy. best street is narcisuss; corner house, white! ocean view, the sound of waves putting me to sleep each night. the grassy area across the street would be my playground. we'd call it 'inspiration knoll'.
