The Beginning of July

I've had a very lovely July, so far. I've had the chance to take things slow, be alone, and self-reflect. I started baking again. I used to bake a lot when I was younger which was cool, but then lately I got trapped in the mindset that it was too much of a hassle because of all sorts of reasons. But it really isn't. I was being lazy and I finally admitted it to myself, which made me feel better.

Sometimes we know what we need to do to help ourselves but we're not there emotionally and so change doesn't happen - because we aren't ready. When I'm able to admit it to myself, I know I'm ready to make it happen.

Sunset Pacific Motel

Last weekend I visited Vincent Lamouroux's art installation called "Projections" -twice! The sun was setting the first time so I wanted to go back the next day to see it shine bright in the sun. It was very bright. When you drive past it, you can't help but stop to take a closer look. Lamouroux covered Silver Lake's Sunset Pacific Motel entirely in white lime wash (grass and trees included) and the results were magical. For more information about the installation, click here!

I spent a lovely afternoon at my friend's home yesterday before having to rush home to get ready to attend a wedding. He made me a wonderful lunch and we reconnected after being apart for a couple of months. Ponchik was happy as always. I always considered him a small dog but now that I have Laika, Ponchik seems so huge in comparison. They'll be friends soon.
