Beautiful Day - Again....!

It's the first Wednesday of the new year! - the first "Hump Day", if you will. 

 I am home for few weeks - resting my body - all is fine - blah blah blah... I am watching countless movies, ripping through all of my magazines -

here is a confession: 

I subscribe to:  Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Yoga Journal, Allure, Vanity Fair, Elle, Entertainment Weekly, Coastal Living, C Magazine, .... I think that's it.... and on occassion, I buy In Style, Town and Country, Self, Shape, Islands, Caribbean Travel and Life (?), AND, my boyfriend "receives" complimentary issues of Yachts International and Yachting, as well as Boats U.S.... So, there is a TON of stuff to read and look at around here.  Well, I have ripped through all of the fashion mags, literally.  I rip out the pages I want to save and make my own "Wish" book. It's actually just a manilla file folder; I go through it so often and add to it and remove from it that it would be silly to make it any more permanent than that. 

As a once follower of "The Secret", I did learn about manifesting, and about vision boards.  I totally believe in this.  You absolutely do manifest everything that happens to you... in most cases.  So, what the heck - might as well put pictures of all of the stuff I want in front of me!  That's another reason why my "wish book" is only a file folder... sometimes when I remove a page, it's because - I now HAVE whatever is in the picture! I have manifested it.  I have a vision board; however, during my "free time" recently, I have pulled some things off of my walls to help my room(s) look a bit more like a yoga studio - which IS my absolute Happiest Place On Earth.... nothing like a room with only a wooden floor, a buddha, and some candles... Aaaahhhhhh.  

Anyway - this is all in an effort to create the perfect life - stress free, full of beauty and love... How's that?! 


Beautiful Huntington Beach near the Pier



The terrace at the Shorebreak Hotel in H.B.

 In about 6 months I hope to relocate to my old stompin' grounds in Huntington Beach.  The sea is calling!  I am very lucky to live in Orange County, CA, specifically Mission Viejo.  It's very congested here though, and I somehow figure that if I am closer to the coast, I can escape the "city".  We'll see.  I am sure it's quite different than when I lived there (in H.B.) in the 80s.  Heck, it's been 30 years!  (yikes... ) - But, it will be cooler, and the air will be better... sea air - it's just different.  Coastal living, here I come!  And, I hope to  really settle there.  

This is actually Corona Del Mar... but.... pretty beautiful, huh?
