I’ve been wanting to write a Love List for weeks now, weeks I tell ya! Between working, mothering, studying for the GRE (I did good! [enough]), romancing, sitting on the board of the preschool’s non-profit, applying for jobs (because OMG I just. need. money. in the interim between now and going back to school), trying to build and nurture my budding Vegan Lifestyle Coaching business, and helping my not-boyfriend with some super big stuff, well, WHEW! I am a busy lady!
But hey, who isn’t?
And I really want to write Le Love List, because amidst all the madness and despite the financial despair, I gotta tell you. I am BUCKETS FULL OF HAPPY.
And I hope you are too. Let’s share!
Le Love List
green/veggie juice for me and my man, almost every single day in October .|. juice with ginger and melon, holy moly what a pair .|. booking a radio show and feeling simultaneously proud, excited, and SCARED SHITLESS omg . . . .|. have you heard of the upcoming documentary The Ghosts In Our Machine? i was able to preview a screener and wow, this film is thoughtful, evocative, and visually captivating. you can watch the trailer here, and you should definitely see it when it’s released! .|. morning cuddles with Waits .|. a successful new bed time routine with Waits! hallelujah! .|. cooking with my honey, and inventing *really* yummy stuff .|. champagne tastings .|. lunch with Damian and reconnecting, feeling comfortable and close enough to share truth with each other, really enjoying our friendship, being committed to our non-traditional-but-still-very-much-a-family-unit, and getting excited gabbing together about the coolest kid in the entire universe .|. Waits is so smart. he’s three and a half and I’m pretty sure he’s already smarter than me .|. pushing out of my comfort zone! .|. early birthday presents (yes, *really* early) .|. I HAVE TICKETS TO SEE TOM WAITS NEXT WEEKEND!!! .|. planning a little bay area adventure to accompany those tickets to see Tom Waits next weekend .|. getting *really* creative in order to afford that adventure to accompany those tickets to see Tom Waits next weekend .|. that feeling. that feeling I have all the time these days, after having lost it for so long. hope.
Now it’s your turn! Will you share? Pretty please? I miss our love lists so much, and all the gratitude and joy that they engender. I hope you’ll share, but most importantly, I hope that you have SO SO SO much to be happy for!

Our first visit to Animal Acres in Acton, California. A few weeks back I wrote a post about why vegan children don’t visit the zoo, and I offered up one of my favorite zoo alternatives: the Natural History Museum. That post sparked a lot of discussion, with so much insightful input and so many diverse [...]
I remember when I was in college, in my early twenties, in the early oughts, and my roommate asked me one morning, “Do you know what a meme is?” And I . . . had no idea what she was talking about! And isn’t that crazy? Oh, how times have changed. So there’s this meme [...]
One of my most popular recent posts was a “recipe” (two ingredients, and one of them optional – can I really call it a recipe?) for natural homemade coconut oil”hair repair” treatment. And in writing that post, I realized that I hadn’t posted anything on DIY eco-friendly body care since . . . 2009. What?!! [...]
And it’s certainly not all sugar cookies either (but it should be, amiright?!) This What I Ate Wednesday series is one of my favorite features on my blog.
