All things gratitude-inducing. 

Can't believe it's been FIVE MONTHS since I've written one of these. It's about time.

I AM GRATEFUL:

for the great groups of girls I have down here in Isla Vista. I could seriously not ask for better women to surround myself with. Especially when I don't have my 3 soul mate women here with me and I lost one of my best friends this year to the depths of Hollywood...(cough, Lily, cough).

for daaaancing and moooving my body and loving it and mmmmm yeah (sensual enough for you?)

that I have the space and ability to be registering myself with my insurance as a "full time" yoga teacher. Seven and a half hours a week teaching.  That actually really scares me, because damn, when did I ever ask for that?! But no, this is a good thing. This means I've worked my ass off (check) and believed in myself and my teaching (check) and I'm going to continue to stay present as time goes on.

for my heart and mind finally, FINALLY letting go of its death grip on one boy. For the first time in 6 months I actually see the light at the end of the tunnel. By that I mean I'm finally either/or both fully accepting who he really is and that he's not evolving and to like what I do have with him. And for once, this isn't something I'm just saying out loud to my girlfriends as they roll their eyes so hard they might stick there. I actually feel this.

for the purple hair dye sitting on my desk that I'm dying to slather all over my head right now. I have to wait until I get home from class and things tonight... t-5ish hours til purple ends :)

for everyone reading my blog!! AH!! Both through tumblr and through facebook and through whatever means you use to get here. Thank you. I love your feedback and I always want more of it. And I love you connecting with me. 

On this 5-day long shopping spree... new belly rings!

If you know me IRL, you probably know that I have not been able to be without the simple yin yang belly button ring my uncle gave me for my high school graduation since... my high school graduation three years ago. Every time I take it out, something doesn't feel right.

But change is firing me up right now, and since I've had the urge to get my lower navel (inverse) pierced but keep changing my mind, I figured the less extreme step is to get a long belly button ring. Never been one for "danglies" (actually despised them)

So anyway, I came across an AMAZING Etsy shop with belly rings that I LOVED. Like, I loved all of them. That never happens, ever. Both of these rings are from Midnights Mojo.

Top one is the one I got, bottom one is Lily's.
