Wildflowers 🌼 ALWAYS “ You belong among the wildflowers You belong in a boat out at sea You belong with your love on your arm You belong somewhere you feel free “ Lyrics (c) Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers As a writer, I’m always looking for inspiration in everyday life. I love that wildflowers find a way to flourish wherever they are, no matter what the conditions. Like lyrics finding their way to end the perfect verse... Or when the words you’ve been waiting for find their way onto your blank page just when you needed them to... I love a bit of wild mixed with my favorite classics... Don’t you?

Venice, CA 💙|💚Seattle, WA Last week I journeyed up the Pacific Coast. An 1100 mile transition out of one dream and into another. I, surprisingly, felt a little heavy during the journey. Driving through an onslaught of emotions as each mile marker passed me by. As a writer, I can't help but fall deeply in love with every story. In love with every ending. In love with every beginning. Each person, each place, each memory as lovely as a light gust of wind caressing my cheek - not to be held onto - to appreciate in the moment. Today I, thankfully, feel light again. I've embraced the range of emotions and memories that flowed through me. Welcoming each one into their rightful place in my higher self, forever a part of the pieces that make my greater whole. I'm grateful to be back in Seattle. For round two. Of creating. Of writing. Of loving. Of following through on a vision that started out as only a dream. I won't stop until it's done. Then I'll transition...once again...into a new dream. Happy Sunday. Keep journeying. Keep dreaming. Keep doing you. Much love & light, -Stella

Why not you? Why not us? Why not now? Now is all we know.

Anything worth doing in life, is worth overdoing. My second novel is taking me there - to feelings and places in my heart and mind - further than I've ever gone before. Art is life.

Salt in the air, sand in our hair. Sun setting in the West, Rolling waves by our side. Our hands woven tightly Our inhibitions untethered. We manifested greatness. Using our hearts as our guide.

Pieces of earth Floating along Finding serenity At the edge of the island Just as we did. Our rough edges Softened by the sun. Only the crisp ocean air Stopping the wood From turning into stone.

"Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick, the one that makes me scream she said. The one that makes me laugh, she said. Threw her arms around my neck. Show me how you do it, and I promise you I promise that, I'll run away with you." Just like a dream.

27 Doors to Walk Through in New Orleans

The Crescent City embraced us, unlocking doors every step of the way. It unlocked a door in my heart that will forever be open to the people, the sounds, and the spirits that are the city of New Orleans.
