  • Tiny opened clams on the beach. My 3 year old niece and I ran, picking them up. "angels, auntie, angels!," she cheered as she saw each one. Yes, they are. She saw each one for its divinity. No matter the color or size, each of us is an angel. Each of us deserves to be greeted with the love and delight my niece has for these sweet shells. #missionbeach #southerncalifornia #beachvacation #summer2017 #sandiego #california #tinyclam #eachofusmatters #nohate #nohatejustlove #jumpstartyourjoy #choosejoy
  • Mission beach sunset. The kids have been playing in the sand after dinner, and we were serenaded by a rollerblader singing "I want it that way" (see the second photo). It's such a nonstop parade of joy on the strand. #iwantitthatway #beachvacation #sandiego #sandiegomeanswhalesvagina #missionbeach #nktobsb #backstreetboys #summer2017 #ohthesummernights #southerncalifornia #skyporn #sunset #tower17

  • Do flowers ever remind you of people? My grandmother had a beautiful row of yellow roses in front of her home and they remind me of her every time I see them.⠀ Yellow roses at the amazing Santa Barbara Mission. ⠀ ⠀ #thursdaythoughts #yellowrose #inspiration #jumpstartyourjoy #grandmotherslove #grandmothershouse #santabarbaramission

  • Chewie is very good at playing fetch, even when the tennis ball is bigger than his mouth. He's a little bitty chiweenie, and when we adopted him, he already knew how to return the ball, drop it for us to throw it again, and bring it back again and again and again and again.⠀ ⠀ #chewiethechiweenie #chiweeniesofinstagram #chiweenienation #dachsundmix #rescuedog #hendrysbeach #santabarbarabeach #tinydogoftheday #chihuahuamix #chewiethedog #chewiewerehome #fetchfordays
  • White roses and the beautiful Santa Barbara Mission. We visited over the 4th of July, seeing friends and family, and feeling so nourished and loved and held and seen. Santa Barbara is where I went to college, and it is always a joy to go back and remember those times and feel restored by the energy of the place. ⠀ ⠀ #santabarbaramission #queenofthemissions #whiterose #jumpstartyourjoy #naturesbeauty #bestofinstagram #travelphotography #californiamissions #bluesky
