Recently, I've been feeling a bit low. Santa Barbara is a beautiful town, but I miss my friends dearly. There's really nothing like Austin, Texas. No matter how many times I slip my feet into my cowboy boots and drag people to the boot scoot or make my own danged queso dip (because Californian's have not a CLUE as to what that is) it just doesn't feel the same. It'll be a year this April that I'll have been living in California, and I feel it 110%.
Now, don't get me wrong. I sulked in a big fat way. For a full on week, I was Ms. Energy Suck, it was terrible. But sometimes, you really just can't partake in the pity party anymore, you've got to DO something that makes you feel good - something that you know is an energy BOOST to everybody else, and the corners of your mouth will start to perk up a bit. Everyone's will. And then you can have parties, and I like parties.
There is a girl named Katie who lives in Brooklyn and she is beautiful. I don't know her. I just found her blog. Everything about this girl's energy is bright and uplifting, and when I feel like I'm in a funk, I like to mosey on over to her world and get a happiness tune up. This time around, I found a great public project of her's I thought I'd fashion into my own little thing for Santa Barbara:
Heart Rocks.
I hopped on my bike, called up my friend Cameron, and we were both on our way spreading silliness and encouragement to downtown SB <3

I have so many rocks from the beach under my bed.
Time to put them to good use! |
