synergy.

slim & i just got back from floydfest,
our favorite little music festival.
it was a fantastic long weekend filled with 
fabulous live music, amazing people watching, 
beautiful mountain views, delicious food & 
great camping weather. 
on our last night we watched a hunger games
themed fashion show showcasing all of the vendors
at the festival and i fell in love with synergy. 
we left the fashion show and were headed to the workshop
porch stage to see the hackensaw boys play &
walked right by the synergy tent... 
(a coincidence sent from the heaven above i believe)
i was seriously in heaven.
gorgeous, soft organic cotton & bamboo
materials with hand-sewn designs, 
all created by women in nepal who were
paid/traded fairly for their amazing work.
i excused slim to the next show as i played 
in the synergy tent for a while. 
i found this beauty & was good to go!
*also, mentioning the fashion show earned me 10%off.
with my perfect dress in hand, i ran off to see
the super fun & talented hackensaw boys.

yoga+crossfit.

currently, i am loving both crossfit & yoga.
(with a splash of mountain biking & hiking here-and-there)
i find strength gaining, adventure, challenge & fun in crossfit.
in yoga i find lengthening, mindfulness, peace & difficulty.  
i found this great guide in using yoga to benefit
your crossfit workouts, which in return
will definitely help your yoga practice.

photo phun.

 my sister cara came to town
 so we hired local photographer, slim
 to capture our time together.
this is a cool effect called ghost light.
SO creepy!
we're a bit theatrical- perfect subjects.
the start of lea's 25th year started off super weird.
painting with light.
do you see slim's birks back there?
i just love this shot.
thanks, slim for these beautiful shots-
you've got a gift kid.
