...the adventure continues

Haly'a arrived in the night and we did our fair share of adventuring......on bike! We rode around the neighborhood in our serene desert surroundings, laughing, dreaming, envisioning our music and dance-filled weekend. Some crazy beats began calling our name mid-ride and we followed our sensory calling through a radical obstacle course that led us through pools, chanting and dancing over golf-courses, sneaking through a hidden path in the woods, and eventually we landed on a sandy outcrop bordering a wild river. We could not cross so we abandoned our mission and returned home safe and sound to gather energy for next day.....

Good Morning!

Cheers to the freakin' weekend<3

Groovin to the morning vibrations

Haly'a ~ Moon

Anya' ~ Sun

'Aha ~ Water

The time finally comes when we are to find our adventure destination and lose ourselves in this grand adult adventure-land they call Coachella. With the light of the sun, the mystique of the moon, and the energy of the water, we arrive. The magic of the desert has never been more FUN! There are few times in our lives when we get the opportunity to galavant with 100,000 kindred spirits (from around the globe) soaking in all the beauty of sweet, soul-moving music, encountering talking robots, giant arachnids, getting lost in giant tee-pee's, and tripeain' under enormous neon dandelions....the adventure begins!

'Anya, Haly'a, 'Aha

I believe whoeheartedly in that everything happens for a reason. I believe there is a lesson to be learned from every experience we have and from every person we come across on our life's journey. I try and remain alert to the best of my ability, listening and watching for these lessons. Some are more aparent than others and when they come, are realized, accepted, and swallowed, magical things happen...Spritual Growth incures, wisdom is gained, another door is opened for us to walk through and it really brings to you to a whole different level of living in terms of perspectives, how you act toward others, and how you choose to lead your life. I started to conciously take note of these (sometimes small, and sometimes earth-shattering) lessons in my early 20's. Since then life has taken on a whole new meaning. Life at home, wherever that may be, is grand. There are plenty of lessons to be learned in our home environment, though they tend to play out over longer periods of time and are not as in-your-face as lessons learned "on-the-road" tend to be. Since I developed this little thing called wanderlust, I have discovered that these life-changing lessons are inevitable when I get the chance to abort the daily grind and wander away to go explore a whole different set of surroundings.

...and that is where this story begins.....This is the story of 'Anya (Sun), Haly'a (Moon), and 'Aha (Water). These three powerful spirits set out to bring their souls together for a magical adventure in the desert.....
