I used to get asked all the time where I got my fun, funky clothes for stage wear. I’d never say where, because I mostly got the best pieces at porn stores. Nobody would judge me for my size, or taste when I’d shop there! I can finally admit that every night, I was nervous being seen in anything but black - as if to say, “please don’t notice my body, notice the sounds I make”.

Once, my mom angrily drug me out of a formal store because the only thing that fit me was a piece of shapeless garbage. In tears, she told me we were going to the fabric store RIGHT NOW, and she stayed home from work the next day to make me a beautiful dress. This article completely lays it out. If you’re in fashion and not being inclusive, you’ll soon become obsolete.

The upper west coast in all its glory. It was so nice to be cold for a change - Cape Disappointment was foggy, of course, but was not disappointing! We ate oysters at least once a day, and finished off at Hama Hama where we learned to shuck our own. What a breath of fresh air!

It’s the little things amongst this heat wave to be grateful for: the cat is pleasantly watching me water, one sunflower, and my long awaited dahlia bloomed, and I have some Meyer lemons getting bigger. Thank goodness it’ll break tonight!

We didn’t post our post-yoga brunch, but we did grab a pic with @claudiajoyoga after our sweaty session @yogariotpdx - woot! Hot! Happy! Get some! We’re maintaining protocols for social distancing during this lockdown, & you can find us online, too. Stay healthy, stay safe. 💖

Yesterday was Sunday Funday with @christinea_rae__antoinette - we sweat together safely in our distanced studio, @yogariotpdx and emerged just a little happier, and healthier. When the time is right, come and see us for the heat!
🌚🌕 Full moon blahs? Power shred it out with me today, (Monday) 1:30-2, or slow it down at 7pm for some vin/yin.
🌬🌬Take deep breaths wherever you are, and be well!

We tried new things today, and it was good! Having a pal @marysuetobin makes it easier, and much, much more awesome to take a leap in to the unknown.

I’m a tad late posting this, it’s just that @marysuetobin & I had such a lovely day in the sun; no filter needed: the light was just so good au naturale! Grateful for what we have in each moment...💖

Yes, it’s time for @yogariotpdx to reopen in our new space! Change is a constant, but the yoga is always here....Come see @claudiajoyoga for noon, and me, 4:30pm.
The other pics are my practice with the @feetup trainer: the strawberry pants mark the 1st day, and the blue sword pants are about a month later...after a gajillion planks, and yogi bicycles. It has *changed*, even if it’s just a little. What are you ready to change for yourself?

Double double! 2xs this week we met for hot yoga, and yes, I did get a cup of soup. We feel grateful for what we can have in these times: friendship, food, & yoga. What do you feel grateful for? Love, me, & @marysuetobin
