Heavily missing these Woollahra streets this month.  I love this time of year in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs and that gorgeous purple - vibrant and lilac all at the same time.  Thanks SP, for making me thoroughly homesick.

Rumi is my favourite.  This quote makes me think of a beautiful set of lines from a song in Little Women (which my friend Elise appeared in a few years back in Sydney): 

"Some things are meant to be, the tide turning endlessly,
the way it takes hold of me, no matter what I do..."   

Tell me.

"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" - Mary Oliver, The Summer Day.

(Thanks Tick Tock for this one.)

Sailing

Even if you think the seas are calm, those waves can rise up any time.  Still, as my favourite meditation man Kabat Zinn says, "you can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf."    

J'adore: thinking about coats

Collection Ratti tile coat.  How else am I supposed to curb the pangs of jealousy that are going to emanate from me as I view glorious photos of summer (already started) from my beautiful Sydney-ites over the next few months?  Why, get on board with Fall Fashion, obvi.
