excerpt from the book I just finished:

"I had the impression that transcending the world was superior to simply being in it. I was always struggling to meditate, fast, detach, that kind of thing. One day in the rookery I realized that merely being out here, going about my work, was what made me the happiest. I finally figured out that what matters is just giving over to what you love."

I love when work involves friends & photoshoots. ♥

got to sit front row center & watch Andrew Bird in a private concert today! Unfortunately no video recording permitted (watching him really makes you appreciate his genius) but got a ton of pictures.

Talented doesn't even begin to describe. Using loop pedals- he is able to play guitar, violin, AND whistle to create a one man show that sounds like a symphony.

hells ya

Yayuh....Bringing back KokuaFest after a year hiatus. Jack must have really taken to heart all the e-mails and phone calls I made telling him how disappointed I was last year when they didn't hold the concert.

At last.... my love has come along ♥
