....

The heart breaks in so many ways ....

Dixon Fruit Market

I came across this beautiful Farm on the way out of Cali,

Organically grown, and local, 

CANT BEAT IT!!!

Don't these look delicious?!

THEY WERE

They also grew pistachios, 

and had ever flavor you could imagine, 

I planned on getting quite a few flavors, 

but I left with arms full of fruit instead

The man that runs the show, 

very kind, and informative

My last look at Cali, 

from the side of the freeway

This beautiful organic farm, 

really just made me want a garden more, 

with fresh everything, 

organic all the way...

nutritious and delicious... 

Seafood Lasagna

 I have been on the hunt for really good italian food, 

And, if you know me, 

you know I LOVE seafood,

In hopes of some good seafood we wandered into this restaurant

and I was pleasantly surprised by the italian food.

This is a seafood lasagna,

the bottom layer is crab in a red sauce,

the middle layer in-between the noodles is shrimp in a pesto sauce

and the top layer was fresh fish in a white sauce,

literally, 

this MELTED in my mouth, 

mmmmm... 

 I wish I had taken more pictures in the beautiful Santa Cruz while I was there

but....

there is always next time

The seagull wanted to be in the picture, 

So I thought he should get his shot... 

Wish I had seen him coming, or even been prepared

The last stop up highway ONE, 

which happens to be my very favorite highway, 

as of now

Sometimes its not what you look at, 

its what you see. 

Who you're with, can affect WHAT you see....

I saw beauty... all around me

next time I'll snap it

Sneak peak of my shoot with miss R.

Truth is.....

Find myself thinking... contemplating

then i came across a memory, and reading those words,

made me remember, truth is...

I gotta lot of growing to do, I'm still finding my way, 

it cant be impossible, to accomplish something you truly believe, 

I wanna be more than me....

My words were a wish I wrote, 

believing in the power of thought,

in a moment of TRUTH and clarity...

Truth is....

I wish for a true love, life and happiness, 

for peace to flow freely from within,

For Patience, wisdom, understanding and acceptance,

For guidance toward a higher consciousness,

To be less selfish and have a more clear perspective.

To love myself as well as others 

UNCONDITIONALLY, 

To become at peace with my inner self,

so the war with my words may be eliminated, 

Hopes of clarity and unity

Sight, so that I may see the true truth for what it really is,

and not for what it could be

Vision, so that I may make a path towards it,

Smell, so that I may experience taste with intensity,

Taste, So that I may differentiate, 

Wellness, for a life full of knowledge and wealth of the soul, 

and of course for 

KNOWLEDGE 

The crazy thing is, I wrote this months ago, 

And the power of conscious thought is.... something else. 

Fight for whats RIGHT

I know we can't change the world,

but WE can make a difference,

This is just one voice,

imagine if we ALL chipped in,

Reach a lil bit farther,

talk a lil more softer,

try a little bit harder,

think a little more often,

and what could we accomplish,

something different for our children,

since we SAY they're the future,

lets give them a fighting chance...

theres too much coming at them,

schools telling them how to think,

even telling them what to be,

tv telling them what to see,

A government telling them what to EAT

Why don't we fight, for whats RIGHT

I know Im not the only one thinking this way

If we were meant to think, When'd we stop THINKING

THINKIN

Thinking bout truth and frame of mind,

constant distractions...

Thinking bout why, and whats "time",

minor delays,

Thinking bout people and how they lie,

obvious deception,

Thinking bout love and the way it heals,

deep devotion,

Thinking bout reality and what it is,

altered perceptions,

Thinking bout the people and the way we live,

consumer nation,

Thinking bout hate and how it spreads,

fear is the fuel,

but can anyone explain how its bred?

Thinking bout YOU....

Wondering whats goin on in your head

IF WE WERE MEANT TO THINK, WHEN'D WE STOP THINKING?
