Gone fishing

The time to relax is when you don’t have time for it.

Having hit the proverbial wall by doing too much in too little time and sacrificing sleep to accomplish my goals, I am partially taking David’s advice of letting go of my Wednesday posting. I’m giving myself permission to take the day off and not write, but still post pictures. Happy Wednesday! Take heed and be kind to yourself and give yourself permission to relax. As Lama Thubten Yeshe once said: “Be gentle first with yourself if you wish to be gentle with others.”

It may be spring, but it's still a little chilly. An all-black outfit is the perfect backdrop or a faux snake skin leather jacket from Urbanity (Berkeley, CA).

Faux snakeskin pattern can be overwhelming, so stick with an all-black outfit (simple knit dress, knit scarf, and tights), black booties with studs for added texture and interest, and simple silver jewelry.
