Leonardo Da Vinci

Some people say having a puppy is like having a small child. When my family got me a dog for Christmas maybe they were trying to give me a hint that I needed to start thinking about having children... This dog is wonderful! It's also a huge commitment as a single woman who loves to travel. Good for me I guess. Leonardo Da Vinci, known as Leo, has real spirit. He is such a good dog. Very social and great with people. I take him with me to all of my classes...down dog now has a new meaning. I believe in community and the support of those in one's life, so Leo is a community dog. More people known him in Laguna than they know me. I'm just that gal that owns Leo...fine by me. People love to love on this little guy. Leo was the runt of is litter. At now almost 4 months he weighs 4lbs. Here's to having a fun little new guy in my life with a big happy heart. Love Leo - Now, let's just hope my cat Mother Teresa falls in love with her new puppy brother soon...

PARIS then Pyramids

I have 7 hours in Paris. Thank God! It's one of my favorite cities in the world.
Today it is snowing in the City of Lights. I land and make my way to Stephanie, my French sister. Love her! Spent the summer with her and her family and look forward to seeing her any chance I can. We are meeting for lunch and an afternoon of shopping. Going to my favorite French store Mossimo Dutti.
Sadly I have to leave Stephie and make my way to Rome. However, girl time is precious... Shopping in Paris is priceless... Or is it!:))))
I'm so happy I feel like this bright work of art... Exploding colors on the inside.

EGYPT, Jordan and Israel

So when my best guy friend had his visa denied last summer and was not able to return to the US for a year I was sad. However, when life gives you lemons - make fucking lemonade! I often find that life can throw curve balls, but it's what we do with the unexpected that makes life interesting. I choose to find the silver lining.
My friend and I decided to meet up somewhere in the world. Over Skype we each listed the top 3 places we wanted to see Internationally. Many fun places where mentioned but EGYPT was the common thread. We researched the Middle East and found ourselves booking a cruise to Egypt, Jordan and Israel. Here's to two days of traveling. I'm flying to Paris, then Rome where I meet Rajko, and together we fly into Cairo. Here's to a fun adventure. Here's to riding camels, seeing the Pyramids, walking through Petra, and exploring Jerusalem. Stay tuned for fun travel writing and photos...

Yoga in the Airport?

Don't ask...yes, a man rolled out a yoga mat in front of the gate...pulled down his pants...went into a headstand and then started doing serious yoga... As a yoga teacher you really don't want to know my thoughts on this one...

230 5th Ave

New York, New York. The Rooftop Garden Bar at Christmas time. This is the place you want to visit at night. With amazing views of the city and directly in front of The Empire State Building this bar packs all the punches. You arrive on the top of the 20th floor where you walk out to a winter wonderland of sorts for adults. Lights, music, amazing hot drinks, and red Christmas robes to wear. It's fabulous! I had a triple hot chocolate beverage and I'm still happy. When visiting NYC, 230 5th Ave will not disappoint, promise:)

Pre Rolling Stones

Sometimes you just have to let your hair down. Throw caution to the wind... Live a little. This weekend is that occasion. 13 of us are meeting to see The Rolling Stones from the Tongue Pit. We are gathering in New York City for the live paper view event which is marking the last concert of their 50th anniversary tour. With our skull scarves in hand, we're ready to Rock. 

Know as the best rock-n-roll band of all times these men in their 60's and 70's are going strong.

Here's to some pre concert fun!

Flying to NYC

And we're off! New York City bound. Direct flight LAX to JFK, first class fabulous. I'm jetting off for the weekend with my friends. We're on a PLAY venture to see The Rolling Stones in concert. Champagne on our way to LA, Champagne on the plane, Champagne once we soon land and throw a birthday party for one of our NYC friends. The weekend is just getting started. Nothing like flying to NYC at night. Here's to some proper fun!
