You see, I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name.
It felt good to be out of the rain.
In the desert, you can remember your name
‘Cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain.

Sleep is a wild thing.

Sometimes you can’t get enough of it, other nights it eludes you. I avoid altogether occasionally and the we play a game of tag the following days.

Pretty crazy to think how sleep might have caused some crazy things to happen in history. Or that I may not have seen this cloud if I hadn’t had a messed up schedule and wandered around in the wee hours of the morning in Colorado.

I’m happy I saw it and am thankful for the unexpected, surprising hour of our meeting. It’s long gone now, but the memory remains alive and well.

I’m not ever going to ski again.

During my trip to Colorado, I skied with my siblings. Well, I tried to ski with my siblings. They are all fairly experienced with sliding down mountains, even my niece and nephew were shredding away on their snowboards.

I think skiing is difficult for me because of the independence of each foot. I have to control the unique yaw, pitch and roll of my shins and ankles while working in tandem with the other limb.

Not my cup of tea. I also dislike tea.

I did realize after my repeated attempts and subsequent failures, that I might be better at snowboarding. I’ve done board-related sports before and I feel comfortable as my entire being work with/against something else. The split attention and focus of two skis was too much for my formerly coordinated extremities to really manage well.

So next time I’ll take experiences that I have some experience in and apply them to a new thing, instead of just jumping into something I know that I have a disadvantage at doing.

But I’ll still jump in, just with a little more intention and a little less guesswork.

I’ll be back, but just not on skis.

Pretty big boat. Pretty big lake. Pretty big enjoyment.

MODEL CALL 🌟

Anyone down to wear a flowy wedding gown for a few hours and run through a field with your love while myself and a photog grab some shots? These shoots help us build our portfolios, collab with other local vendors, and explore our style more + we’d love for you to be apart of it!

Full details of the shoot unknown at the moment — just trying to gather model interest for the time being, since finding models is always the hardest part!
