ON a tuesday afternoon

yesterday, there was an impromptu stopping by of sorts.

the 'only ten minutes' kind that turns into three hours later.

there were errands to be done, dog sweaters to be bought.

very important things, i tell ya. very important.

but there hadn't been lunch. and a hungry kerry is a grumpy kerry.

(anybody else? hands up if you get hangry.)

and so there was a decision made & a trip to one of my favorite LA places

that i hadn't made it to yet, despite the five weeks (six?) that i've been here.

real food daily. you just get me. we're simpatico, you and i.

if you find yourself around these parts, go to RFD.

my non-vegans that have joined me there have all become fans.

one loved it so much, she started to explore the idea of vegetarianism.

that's right; it turns carnivores! it's. that. delicious.

plus, the sunshine and the company weren't half bad either :)

happy wednesday, friends. xo

On Polaroid Travels

sometimes i daydream about where else i would want to be right now.. 

 maybe in disney world .. or perhaps disneyland..

could hop a plane to san francisco .. or maybe off to LA..

or in a cozy chair, my favorite one in the whole world .. or fast asleep in one backstage..

maybe riding bikes in portland .. or at the best bookstore in denver..

 i'd fancy to be lying by the water in miami .. or indulging at Real Food Daily..

or looking at beautiful coastal views in chicago .. or by the santa monica pier..

although if we're being honest, there's few places i'd rather be .. than right next to this little boy.

the good news with playing this game is that when i'm thinking of where i'd jet off to,

i get to remember how many incredible places i've been lucky enough to see.

and instead of lusting after everywhere else, i find myself counting my blessings. giving thanks.

and then somehow, it comes to be, that the more i give thanks, the more exciting life gets,

the more adventures i'm given, and the more i remember that wonderful truth:

that we are always exactly where we are meant to be.
