I love, love, love this place.

Yesterday morning I received a super sweet email via The Grateful Life from a reader in Cape Town, South Africa (which in and of itself is such an awesome feeling--my blog has readers all over the globe!?). I so appreciated hearing her thoughts and kind sentiments.

Katherine, thank you for reminding me that I am, indeed, really blessed to live here. It's not hard to find peace and grace right in my backyard; it's not hard to feel so, so grateful...but your email was just the motivation I needed to grab my camera and get outside to once again appreciate the beauty of where I live. A mini road trip up to Sonoma was the perfect way to spend a sunny January afternoon--proof of the treasures that extend beyond city limits, just waiting to be explored.

Thank you for reaching out to me! I hope to someday visit Cape Town, just as you were able to visit San Francisco. You are always welcome in our city! 

These photos are for you :)

a glass of wine to end the Sonoma trip :)

love the rolling hills.

I'm a sucker for an old barn

the pop of yellow flowers decorates the whole ride home

long legs :)

Good grief I love it here.

In Gratitude,
