bloom




Rudi  Molacek
Tulips 5 New York 1990

at the exact needed moment in the midst of yesterday's dark rainy afternoon, Staley Wise Gallery published an email "flower show" of stunning blooms that were a visual gift to both the eyes and the soul.  one is pictured above and you can view the others at www.staleywise.com

i loved the quote they included by David Hockney who had shared a new floral work of his own a week ago to brighten our world, "Do remember that they can't cancel the spring."





this past week, i was so grateful for walks in the park and spring. social distancing protocols do make for singular moments of beauty with nature and sharper focus on life in bloom...





be safe! xx

detox divine

yesterday was the 10th day of my stay home practice. 

i tried this divine little detox soak in the evening, suggested in one of the motivational email 'dailies' received from equinox fitness, exhale spa, and others.



notes:


finely grate your own fresh ginger (beyond beautifully fragrant) and mix with the salts and baking soda.
(you can use pre- ground ginger as well). 

scoop the mixture into warm to hot running water as the tub fills and then add the apple cider vinegar which fizzes and foams for a magical moment. then, just swirl your hand through the bath to mix it all and enjoy the zen! 

recipe says to hydrate pre and post soak as you will sweat out lots of toxins.

(you can rinse off for a second or two in the shower apres soak, and it takes no more than a few minutes to rinse the ginger residue from tub - no mess at all)! 

stay safe! stay home!!
