“If you want to be happy, be.”~Leo Tolstoy

I’ve been living a jumble over here these past weeks: a mixture of unwelcome anxiety, intentional deep breaths, a 21-day meditation challenge, late-night edits, story assignment shuffling….too much Mac time, carefree Seafair boat rides, a string of unbelievably sunny (and HOT, relatively speaking, days), doses of sad news mixed with heaps of wonderful news, more apartment/new ‘hood settling in, self-realizations, farmers markets….beach kayak tours at sunset, mountain gazing, Full Moon chasing, home dreaming, new friend making, coffee shopping, canal sitting, sailboat/bike lusting, IPA sipping, cocooning. (Oh, and sadly, zero Olympics watching!) I haven’t been very active here on the blog, cos I’ve honestly been grasping for words. But I think I’m emerging.

My soundtrack of the season: Fitz & the Tantrums. After seeing them at Capitol Hill Block Party, I can’t seem to get enough.

What are your anthems of the summer?
