Two months in a row I’ve had a date with the rising full moon over the lake. 🌕 It’s impossible to capture the awe and spectacular magic of those first few moments as it peaks, brilliant and huge up from behind the horizon. Seriously, you have to see it. I have a Moon app (I know! 🤦🏻‍♀️) to tell me when and where (exactly) it rises and sets, and it is SO cool to be watching exactly as it appears. Waiting. Knowing she’ll always be there. It is really special and feels very intimate. In those first moments, this is MY moon. Hovering low and full. For about 5 minutes it feels so BIG and close. Just over the hill. I’ll be there next month (Oct 13 at 7pm) if you’d like to experience it with me 😍. Pure magic. #harvestmoon #moonrise #moon #oakland #lakemerritt #moonbathing

Sweet Nana. The last time I saw her, Luella was just a bump. Reigning queen of cribbage and mahjong and certainly the origin of the Hibbert dancing gene...Nana was tiny and feisty and stylish and strong. Her laugh was wonderful. We all bonded over her green jello “salad” 😂😂. She never seemed bitter, though she put up with a lot of crap...just took everything in stride. Gracefully. At one point, she was mama to 4 kids under the age of 5 (!) (How?!) What a sweet, sweet lady. I already miss you, Nana.

I’m turning 40!! So of course I came to Santa Fe with some cherished friends. Love this place and these women so much (not pictured because we all had “spa-hair” 😂). Also so much love to my amazing friends who weren’t able to make it. These colors! The buildings! The skies and oh so much beauty and art. Inspirational on so many levels. Literally couldn’t sleep last night because there were so many ideas and shapes and colors bouncing around my head. Now to find the time... So grateful. Oh, and now my other 2 loves are here. 👨‍👩‍👧 So I’m checking out again to continue to explore and relax.
