Hola and happy humidity!
This first week of summer has been one for the books, my friends. I hope you have remained hydrated and cool as a cat to combat this heavy heat. I went outside with my coffee and a new read the other morning and the air was so damp I practically ruined my library book just reading on the porch for 20 minutes. Though the heat does provide the perfect time for swimmin, plantin, and groovin ; )Check out this LED hoop vortex my new friend Holly is stirrin up down at the beach! now that's too cool.
The summer has really started with a bang, things are heating up while I'm trying to cool down yet soak in the sun and dance dance dance on the sand! World Cup games have been entertaining, heartbreaking and pulse-stopping. Interesting refereeing is for sure, but I do love the on-edge excitement, fans, sounds, players and skimpy, sinuous advertising of the soccer season : ) I don't think I'll be upset if I have to look at another Italian team underwear add or slow recap of Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a goal. Bring it on, advertising team of World Cup 2010!Here are some groovy things I've been up to during this last week of summer solsticeness and full moon debaclery.
A little dusk-time cycle through the neighborhood was a nice welcome for the shortest night, as it was comfortably warm and breezy when the fireflies came out to dance. Chris was working so I took this peaceful ride solo and embraced the twilight enchantment and atmosphere of beachy suburbia, settling into the evening.
The next day i was enthralled by beautiful flowers and fuschia foliage outside of a friend's house. I thought these ones, flanking her brick pathway, were the prettiest leaves and really bright with summer!
After I got home and showered post-poolday, I needed healthy sustenance so I made a tasty pea pepper parmesan pesto.
precisely!
There was a little shindig called Sandstock down at the Va Beach oceanfront this weekend. Above is the Peace Love and Balance tent, where Betsey set up a bunch of beautiful jewelry, made by some of her local friends, hip yoga wear and other comfy apparels along with incense, bumper stickers and other fun knicknacks. At 17th st. with a lovely seashore backdrop, Betsey, Brad, and some other friends set up shop and welcomed talkers, shoppers, chalkers, and passersby galore who enjoyed the free music, ranging from a jammin Grateful Dead cover band, Fleetwood Mac covers, Journey cover band, and so on and so groovy forth : )Other tents beside the Peace Love and Balance tent were HollyHoops, where Holly was selling various crafts along with her gorgeous handmade hoops and dancing it up with many of her different sizes, jewelry and purse vendors, and tie-dye you-name-it on the other side of the hoops. I met so many interesting people and awesome friends this weekend, such fun and peaceful vibrations :)
I got my hair wrapped by another hoopster, Courtney, who took a generous hour and a half to wrap my 12 plus inches! I felt so bad for her fingers as she continued with other girls' locks afterwards, but I have always wanted this done and LOOOVE my beady/hempy hairwrap!
Other real sisters and graceful hoop dancers were Allyson and Victoria, who had on some colorful crocheted tie-dye that I had to get a peice of! Victoria was helping me with my hoop tricks too, can't wait to hang out with this cool chick again : )
Now that we have had some rain and the heat has finally broken, things are cooling down...only to heat up again soon i'm sure. such is the nature of the strange and beautiful wave of life! After sandStock this weekend, I began my first day at Peace Love and Balance on Monday and LOVELOVELOVE it! I am so blessed to be offered a job where I hang out regardless, and to be part of something wonderful and beneficial for the community was my ultimate goal for working and Betsey is manifesting that daily.
Apparently, going boldly in the direction of your dreams is truly the way to go, my friends!
