Back home and making an effort to enjoy the small moments of spring. Feeling like I’m rushing in spring with a sudden burst of energy that light and warmer weather brings, I slow it down. In this season #sublimecity is hold on a second practice and #walk… https://t.co/Kczv8IahW8

On the last day of my trip I did a big loop up and through to Carrizo Plain National Monument, Santa Margarita, SLO and back to LA down the coast. I did way more driving by than intended and way less walking but the wildflowers were astounding.

Not sure what the right words to describe my recent trip to Southern California are but I am going to share what I learned and some beautiful flowers.
Before what I learned, why I did it. I had not been on my own thinking of myself since before my toddl… https://t.co/CFaanb0jaY

The tulips are popping and the trees are flexing along our stroll to the science museum. Today was a family affair which orients the walk inward to conversation with bursts of keeping a relaxed toddler awake by point out exciting things like tulips and g… https://t.co/OVJt92FGP3

Did my new post-drop off walk this morning. Cold and rainy today. Definitely got the corduroys and boots out. But the grey sky’s and rain drops made usual scenes like the river and the willow at the library more romantic. Something to be viewed while cos… https://t.co/uBTgmjvSlz

It’s a wonder what a week of 50 degree days does for growing, budding, and blooming.

So many 50 degree days! Hurrah! Days are lengthening and so are the shadows. Many afternoons of little walks to the park and to daycare pickup. Stopping to notice the light, shadows, buds, and growth.

After a long weekend of a sick and teething toddler and a visit from our family, which makes the sick and teething toddler clingier to my body than when there is no one around, I had an afternoon to myself. After enjoying the silence of the house for a w… https://t.co/kZ8WtINUMu

I have not been out as much as I would have liked but yesterday was $3 sourdough Wednesday @whenpigsflybread and I took the opportunity of nap-time to enjoy the sunshine to Davis and back. And just look at all of that wonderful light and tulips lipping a… https://t.co/rwed8rDdV2

Trying to get back into some sort of weekly walking practice. This is week 2 and I did my new walk in reverse from daycare drop off. Every time I do my walk in reverse I truly e… https://t.co/BMcctSVAA5

I took for myself a ‘French’ morning, a morning where I focus on my desire, pleasure, and body before productivity, an absolute necessity for living. I went for the new version of my 2hr walk in the frozen sunshine and took time to stop and enjoy the sme… https://t.co/35dnzc93yq

@womentalkplace at the Language + Belonging panel I realized my creative practice for learning to 'belong in place' if not 'belonging to a place' —as part of a historic diasporic culture. Thanks.
