Los Angeles, parking lot and beach.
..
The sun sets on you last, LA. Let the light kiss the ground.
..
LA has been my home base for over a decade. I am full of words for this city, yet can never settle on the best way to describe all of it.
..
All its mesmerizing illusions. Conflicting culture clashes that break like waves. A passionate love; Los Angeles is the type that sweeps in fast and stings.
..
LA, you lead us on. A city full of dreamers, make-believers and wanderers. Always in transit from point A to point B; an endless pursuit across town.
..
Creative, endearing and charismatic, Los Angeles captivates from the very first glance until the very last.
..
Thoughts on LA? Love/hate? I want to know your opinions! ☀️

If you're like me, I'm sure that you've pondered the meaning of life at some point. So when I heard about Justin Long's new podcast on Wondery, Life Is Short, I couldn't wait to listen in!
.
.
As you can see, this is the perfect easy listening for a sunny, relaxing weekend lounge! Or car ride, or workout...
.
.
Justin interviews a variety of guests throughout the series, asking all life's little questions, trying to get get a glimpse of what the true meaning of life is. I love Justin's casual tone and his sense of humor as he has candid chats with each guest. My favorite so far was Niel Patrick Harris! I'd love to hear him interview Ellen DeGeneres!

We got hitched! ⠀
⠀
After 12 years. Love, lots of laughs & challenges. Losing ourselves, losing each other. Finding ourselves, finding each other. Leaps of faith. Always being connected. Despite the tough times & against the odds. Recommitting. Finding closeness, mutual respect & our identities. Enhancing our best sides. ⠀
⠀
Acknowledging our unique path & future commitment had to be in private. It was too deep & emotional to express in front of a wider audience.⠀
⠀
We look forward to building a home in Yorkshire & inviting our loved ones to celebrate properly next year where we can share our appreciation for your part in all this. ⠀
⠀
Eternal thanks to Carina, Alessia & Lupaia for giving us our perfect day. ⠀

I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to be the best version of myself, every single day. Shouldn’t we always be pushing ourselves to our full capabilities? I think that our ‘best self’ changes with the days as they come though- because sometimes that means showing up for others while you put an agenda on the back burner, or taking care of yourself in a gentler way. Not shitting on yourself for not doing 10 million things a day. .
.
I don’t think this should be an excuse for being lazy, but we should be our own best friends! Treat ourselves the way a friend would- push when necessary, but also comfort when needed.
. .
We are capable of so much. So maybe today I won’t go on that 7am beach run- but I can save it for tomorrow. And instead, I’m going to choose to be happy listening to Norah Jones with tea and a book in bed this morning ♀️ How are you taking care of you?

I've been told that I'm too fat. I've been told that I'm too muscular. I've been told that I'm too selfish. Ive been told that I'm too beautiful. I've been told I'm not beautiful enough. I've been told that I'm too confident. Ive been told I'm too much of a tomboy and not ladylike. I've been told I'm not smart enough. I've been told I'm too smart. I've been told I wear too much make up. I've been told I'm too insecure. I've been told I spend too much time at the gym. I've been told I don't give myself enough credit. I've been told I'm not successful enough and don't make enough money. I've been told I work too much. I've been told I'm too nice. I've been told that I'm a bitch...The list goes on and on...
Where I see it Everyone has an opinion; it's easier to judge others than to focus on your own problems and your own issues. If I lived my life how everyone else wanted me to, I'd be one sad, lost and UNHAPPY individual. If living my life for ME is deemed selfish...then so be it! I've been through enough bullshit in my life to let anything ever get in my way again. You only have one life...if there's even a slight chance of getting something that will make you happy, risk it! My mantra Say how you feel, find your passion, leave the job you hate, love with every ounce of your bones, stand up for yourself (and other things that matter to you), don't settle and above all...DO NOT apologize for who you are!!! Take control of your life and do you, because at the end of the day, it's your own face you have to stare down in the mirror #shitsabouttogetreal #gettingdeep #strong #powerful #fbf #bosslady #knowyourworth #doyou #selflove #proud #loveyourself #backbone #independent #ladyballs
Concluding this week's series of snow burying things are these pictures of Loveland Pass from last month.

You know that moment when you can *feel* new doors opening? ... Doors that you 'just know' you need to walk through... doors that lead to new adventures with greater levels of learning and bigger places than you ever thought possible? Ya... those doors are opening right now, and it's exciting and humbling and so God given it's making me physically just sit in awe and be. So many things are lining up in a way that could only be from Him. But... with all that said, these new doors close several chapters of my life. They take me in a new direction... and in a way, it almost makes me question everything. Fear could easily hold me back. It could tell me I'm not good enough to do it... it could leave me frozen... scared to move... afraid to take that first step. But... it's all on how you look at it. If I don't leap right now, all these doors may go away, leaving me to wonder about them forever.
You know when you need to grow... you just do. You know when you're at a crossing point... when you're ready for a new level... and when you know that, you have to walk through those new doors. They're there for a reason. So... here's to walking through those new doors... here's to the places they'll lead too... here's to pushing fear aside... ... and here's to the past few chapters that got me here.

VORTEX It's easy in today's Internet crazed world to get sucked into the same brain as everyone else. It feels like we're all talking, seeing, listening to the same thing through these screens of mass media. I often think that the government created the Internet to make us all think alike so we can be more easily controlled. I go back to the time before the Internet, iPads, cell phones, etc. It actually doesn't even feel like that long ago that I was making calls on the pay phone on my corner block in NYC & scheduling exact meeting times & locations to meet up with my friends. The times, when you HAD TO show up cause there was no way of getting a hold of them to tell them you weren't gonna make it. That's when responsibility was upheld by your word of honor. I miss those days. Even though I'm obviously an active social media player, I do often think while I'm posting or scanning through IG, "What the Fck am I doing? Is this living? Am I wasting time? Am I being brainwashed? I'm sure at some point, these questions have crossed your mind too. I could write a whole novel just on those questions. But what I'm often concerned about is, is all our obsessive sharing depleting us of our uniqueness & originality? Its the inevitable process, we all start becoming inspired by each other, which turns into emulating with admiration, which turns into all of us doing, thinking, being, moving quite similar. What I loved most about traveling (before the Internet) was when I met people from far away, they had such a different thinking process than I. It was clear we had been exposed to very different influences. I love & thrive from those differences. Now a days, it seems no matter where in the world you live, we all share the same trends that we see online. One brainwashed mind? I often think it takes away from what makes us so beYOUtifully unique. What do you think about the effects of social media on loosing our individuality? #cuchithoughts #gettingdeep #vortex #suckedin #controlled #movementartist #freethinker #independentmind #mindmovement #knowledgeispower #MoveFree #BEYOUTIFULWARRIOR #beYOUnique #beyoutiful #YOGANCE #YOGANCE®© @cuchira
