Mendocino Weekend

this weekend i was able to take a quick trip to the vast, beautiful

nature of mendocino county with my family.

(for those of you who have never been, i highly recommend going given the opportunity)

i was born and raised in mendocino county and going for a visit was

a nice break from the hustle and bustle of the bay area.

the trees and mountains were refreshing scenery for this country girl,

even if it was night for a majority of the time we were there. 

my favorite part of the trip, apart for visiting my family, was the stop in cloverdale

where we ran across the sculpture trail put up by the cloverdale art alliance.

the sculptures were amazing and quite unexpected

whilst driving along the freeway.

I have tried to capture a few, but only had my phone on me. 

the exhibit is going to be up until may 8, and i strongly suggest going

and checking it out if you are in the area or are looking for a

small day trip.

14 things for 2014

hello all!

i have always wanted to make a blog. 

i love reading blogs to see peoples adventure, be inspired by

others adventures and see different views and perspectives

that are different from my own.

there are many things that i have been wanting to do,

places i want to see, and things that i have wanted to experience

for quite some time now that i have never gotten the

chance to, be it because of being scared, or thinking my dreams to

be to big or too silly.

 this year, i've decided to make them all happen.

i've decided to take this year and live it to the fullest

and find my wings.

i have made a list of 14 things that i am going to do in 2014.

some of these things may seem a bit silly or random,

but these 14 things are things that have been writ upon my heart

that i have decided to do this year.

so, here’s my list:

get healthy

go all natural

start a blog

make YouTube videos

travel to a new country

take a trip alone

write poetry

make a collection of short stories

make art daily

do prophetic evangelism

read 100 books

play the guitar

take more photos

get tattoos

so here we all are, #3, on the very first blog post

on my very own blog.

i have one down, 13 to go and i am so excited for this new year

and i can’t wait to share my adventures

my writing, my photography and my heart with you all here.
