You take a Napa…You don’t move to Napa!

I’m home in San Francisco today enjoying a productive and relaxing Sunday after a truly great week!

Once the weekend rolled around it was time to take the first trip of the year up to Napa for some fun with friends…

Loved these light fixtures at the yummy Farmstead restaurant…

Being home this week...I actually managed to get Buck to sit still for a picture or two so he could make his debut on the blog!!!!

Until next week!

I hope you dance...

Five States/Districts covered this week alone to end this jammed packed 17 days on the road…this week included a 3^rd consecutive week of spending time with some Rocks (even if not the best of circumstances – time with Rocks is always a bonus), a productive work schedule, and some time in what is becoming like a second home…New York City.

It wasn’t a week that I felt inspired to take too many pictures…rather this week my inspiration came more from the people in my life…

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give fate a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance

-Lee Ann Womack

…I have always considered the people in my life among my greatest blessings…this week reminded me of that…and their importance to me…and for the importance to always remember to dance…and I have hope that all of them will continue to make the choice to dance in their lives as well…from Ballet to Belly dancing and everything in between…I hope they dance.

Because this blog was designed to be more photos than words…here are a few glimpses from my couple of days in NYC…

NYC’s take on Mardi Gras perhaps?!!? Hard to believe this 17 day expedition started in New Orleans!

A partially frozen NYC…getting ready for Spring to arrive perhaps?!

And what is a week without a little Target fun?!

Blogging from 30,000 feet thanks to GoGo Inflight…looking forward to seeing Buck (among many others) and having a great week back in Cali Cali!
