As with all things in life, evolution happens on a daily basis. The changes may seem rather slight at times, yet gradually, a new journey or path unfolds. We shed the old for the new, leaving behind good and striving for better. A better sense of oneself. My passions remain the same as I aspire to take them to new heights: healthy living, simple pleasures, and striving to be the change I yearn to see in this world.
Although I closed the virtual doors on the boutique, I will always remain loyal and support small artisans from around the world. These hardworking, creative talents are the ones who deserve our monies when purchases are to be made, gifts to be given, and treasures to be gathered. Their stories and the offerings they design and create are worthy of our patronage.
The website and name will remain the same, for in my mind, there are few things better than moments dedicated solely to the art of daydreaming. For the past year, I’ve been teaching yoga and it has been one of the most rewarding journeys of my life. I am looking forward to sharing more healthy living thoughts and videos {which will include recipes, yoga, holistic remedies, and more} here in this space. Photography and styling has also been a welcome transition into this new path, so it will be fun to share current projects here too.
This new website could not have been possible without the incredible talent of my dear friend, Brandi. She is the most efficient person I’ve ever worked with, and I cannot highly recommend her enough if you need coding or website design services. If you ask me, the girl floats beautifully in the genius category of life.
My wish is for this site to be a source of inspiration for living a life filled with health and simple goodness. Thank you for joining me as I wander along this new journey; I look forward to evolving reveries into realities.
