Friday love

It’s been a good, busy week. On Tuesday, I returned from California, where hubby has been interviewing for a job. He already has one offer and is expecting at least one more, so I think I can safely announce that we’re on our way back to Silicon Valley. Yay! It just feels like home there — we lived in Santa Clara before embarking on round-the-world travels in 2010 — and I love the weather, the proximity to beaches and mountains, the amenities of a big city with a suburban lifestyle. It was great to reconnect with friends, too, who we were happy to find still love us despite our having abandoned them for our travels.

Wednesday, I hosted the final group session of my second Art Aligned workshop. It’s been such a great experience to work with seven wonderful photographers, and I look forward to sharing their stories with you as they continue to evolve their artistic styles and photography businesses… There are some future superstars here, I know it!

Today, I’m giving a hat tip to one of my favorite art-business bloggers, Lisa Leonard, and sharing what I’m loving right now:

Top left: Tesla! When it comes to cars, I’m practically a guy. One of the coolest things about daily life in NorCal is seeing these babies on the road. Whiplash, every time.
Top right: Our favorite NorCal dive bar, Apple Jack’s. Always great for a cool beer after hiking in the Coast Range.

What are you loving right now?

Happy Friday,
