This Year's Travels...

Leaps and bounds seem to occur between my posts here on this blog! Always wishing to be more consistent, persistent and spontaneous with what I capture and share on this space.
I have been traveling now for two weeks in Turkey, with my love, Mr. Ryan. And while my winter escapes from New York State have taken me far and wide, they have never before brought me to the Middle East. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect or how it would be, but I must say it is by far exceeding my expectations as a culture, as a people, and as a landscape. It has been such a pleasure to be here, a region so steeped in history, a land where east meets west.

Hoping to have more regular photos and posts to share during the duration of my trip, which lasts until early April. For now, here are some pictures that capture bits and pieces.....

Happy New Year!

May 2013 bring 

abundance & fortitude.

May it be brimming 

with

optimism and good health.

 Full of new growth,

deeper perspectives,

playful creativity,

 healthy love,

and 

hearty connections.

Let peace on earth spread a little further.

And may fracking not come to New York State.

Winter Days

It's been snowing here in New York,  and it's unbelievably lovely.

All cozy & blanketed in.

Here is a necklace I hope to list in my shop soon:

Waiting Out the Storm

Inside, the pen & paper have been out. 

But outside.......the wild winds are whipping.
