First Post... Ancora Imparo

A few months back, I wandered into a jewelry store in Berkeley (wandering in Berkeley always lead to good things!) and got to chatting with the designer/store owner. She noticed I was gazing longly at some simple but lovely silver rings. She handed me one and encouraged me to wear it around the store as I looked around. The ring felt right and after wearing it for about 5 minutes, I thought "What a clever salesperson!" Of course I was going to buy it. But I'd like to think of it a bit more generously than just a sale. The ring bore the inscription "Ancora Imparo" which she told me that Da Vinci wrote in his diaries. The phrase translates to "still I am learning," which seemed a perfect anthem for this evolving year. I love wearing this ring.

This evolving year has had me in a learning curve backbend as of late, but yoga style, so it both hurts and feels startlingly uplifting and exciting and more than a little comical all at the same time. And on that note, I've decided to start blogging. It just seems like the appropriate next step that I'm much too busy for, but want to figure out how to play with too! Time to deepen the bend. Breathe in. Breathe out.

This blog will mostly be a place to share favorite images and any new goings on... but we'll see how it evolves too.

It's been an incredibly busy summer, and I have lots and lots of images I want to share. Feel free to check back often.

All the best,
LP
