"museums are quintessentially places that have the potency to change what people may know or think or feel, to affect what attitudes they may adopt or display, to influence what values they form"

Cyd Charisse

#powerlesbians.

( if you know me, you know that i use that phrase a lot. i guess its my way of classifying inspirational women)

Cyd Charisse is arguably the greatest female dancer in Hollywood history. 

she recovered from polio, studied ballet, and began starring in films.

she was awarded the National Medal of the Arts and Humanities, the highest official U.S. honor available in the arts.

...a captivating dancer, a femme fatale, a #powerlesbians.

sawyers in Muir woods

this weekend i took my family to Muir Woods. it was the perfect day hike. we had a blast getting lost and finding our way back. one thing i love about living in SF  is you can drive 30 minutes outside of the city and you end up smack dab in the middle of a forrest of redwoods.

uncle gary + aunt carol

dad + mom

“To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.”
