LoVE Community

Life for me right now is so peaceful and fulfilling. I am blessed with a beautiful life and amazing people to share it with.

I spent this past weekend in the forests of Idyllwild, CA with 16 close friends to celebrate a birthday for a dear friend! We all stayed in a big house - all rotating the cooking and the cleaning for our big meals, going for a gorgeous day hike on Saturday, and playing games in a huge circle around the living room in the evenings! It was a wonderful opportunity for us all to share in the lives of our friends.



Monday, I was in the studio of another amazing friend, recording a song for Vallie Gilley's Feeding the Soul Cookbook CD. Everything about the studio experience was so dreamy...i can barely say enough. It was a perfect day, lots of talented female artists were also recording throughout the day, and for dinner, we all shared a delicious vegan meal prepared by Vallie. AHHH, just perfection!



Then on Tuesday, I had band practice! I love saying that! And my guys are just so fun to play with. We are all learning about each other so much more and really bringing the music into focus with each week we get together.



So many other amazing things happened...enjoyable lunches and dinners with amazing people, a giant cup making day with awesome friends, a trip to Anza-Borrego desert to see the wildflowers...i mean, seriously! Its been an epic week...all while the days are getting longer and warmer!



My point is...i am in complete gratitude for every single person in my life that gives me the opportunity to show up for them in a positive way, and give my love to them. And of course to receive theirs! its not just that i get to DO these great things with great people, but there is an intention behind all of it - that i'm bringing - of being committed to nurturing every moment with possibility and presence. its not always there...as i do have many moments of distraction, but for the most part, i find when i am giving that, it spreads. And when I look around my community, I see that everyone is helping to raise each other up!

So...Love is...showing up as best you can to take you and those around you...higher and higher!
