Stunning!

This collection reminds of the underside of a mushroom, the gills of sea creatures and H.R. Giger.

Bravo!

Enjoy!

Smile Now, Cry Later

This post took awhile. It's the perfect example of the power/influence of music. I was devastated when I heard the news that Dolores O'Riordan

had died.  To have never met a person and be crying over their death?

Bizarre.

But at the same time it's fascinating.

Music

is 

Magic.

It's a wild connection to all your senses.

Thank you Dolores and The Cranberries

for getting me through my crazy teen years,  an abusive relationship, loneliness and heartbreak .

Hello 2018!!!

Wowza!!

Holiday's came and went like lightening! 

I rang in the new year with awesome humans, a crab feed, tiki time and lots of dancing!

I partied hard and responsibly,

and opened my eyes on January first with

NO

 HANGOVER BABY!  

Yep.

Bravo Angie!!

2016 & 2017 

consisted of: getting through Empty Nest Syndrome, cleansing negative people out of my life and realizing life is truly what you create it.  As cliche' as that sounds, I finally feel it in my veins.

Yesterday morning I took a solo drive to San Francisco.

I wandered and explored the Dogpatch Neighborhood.

I love all the abandoned historic piers, quaint neighborhoods and it even drizzled while I was walking around. Surprisingly, there was no wind and it wasn't cold. 

Check out my delicious breakfast!

Yes, that's a beignet.

I must say, I really enjoy exploring by myself.  I can eat where I want, go where I want, take as long as I want to take photos and really take in the experience. I was home by 2pm and had time to cook a delicious dinner.

I have a feeling 2018 is going to be filled with

adventures, lots of food, solo trips, art, music and great company.

2017, 

I respect your importance and life lessons.  I wouldn't be mentally where I am today without you. But, on the other hand,

Ciao!!
