A few days ago, I had a marvelous dream that involved marbles. I woke up knowing that I had to get some. They've proven themselves to be quite magical and supportive of my creative endeavors. As a writer, you don't simply invent. You pay attention to your surroundings and record what you observe. Writing is thinking on paper. #vintage #marbles #oldtoys #writersofinstagram #writersofig #writerslife #creativity #inspiration #colors #typewriter

Hello! I am wearing eyeliner and thicker eyebrows than usual. What do we think? Also, I am enjoying this whole no make up/no filter/no skin smoothening-app movement with the unflattering front-facing cameras. Every now and then I like to see the beautiful faces of my friends up close and personal without the extra layers. Would love to see your bare face selfies! We are who we are! #nomakeupselfie #wellalittleeyelinerandeyebrows #nofilter #thickeyebrows #appreciateself #selflove #aginggracefullyisagoal

Some transitions really make you conquer fears. This one in particular. Fear of crashing onto your head is no fun. But conquer one fear, conquer them all. #yoga #yogagirl #yogalove #yogateacher #YogaEveryDamnDay #backbends #dropback

I was just walking my doggie when I randomly noticed clovers on the ground. And low and behold, within ten seconds, four leaves jumped out at me. I'm so lucky! 1 in 10 000! #luckyclover #namaste #lucky #love #hope #faith #superstition #nature #macrolens
