Karla Tull Aron said...

Yes, yes, still my pretty life {and let me be okay that my pretty life is sometimes out of balance, and that the act of getting it back into balance is okay, too}. i read a little extra into your coffee cup on the table that to me, looks like it is balancing as if in a yoga pose.

Karla Tull Aron said...
