New for the fall! \u00a0Surprise Sunday. \u00a0For today was filled with complete and unadulterated gleeful, “only in New York does this work out this way<\/em><\/strong>” joy and surprise. \u00a0Follow along with the images and I will tell you a story of surprises unfolding, if you are open to simply look.First let me say I believe that the right people come together and find each other at the right time and at the perfect moment. \u00a0I don’t push for relationships. \u00a0I don’t chase new business. \u00a0I like to let things unfold. I think it’s the playful artist that lives inside the soul. \u00a0She has always been there\u00a0for all of us. \u00a0We just need to look up and see what is being made available as the surprise gift of the day.<\/p>\n

Well going forth on Sundays, I am open to the surprises presented to me. \u00a0The intention of each Sunday will only be to get to the city (Westside Chelsea, my favorite part of town) for a 12N Tower class with Juan <\/a>and the Power Pilates Teacher crew. OMG it is soooo good have a workout the way\u00a0it should be! \u00a0Thank you Mr. Estrada (and again, Ms. Moran<\/a>,\u00a0Ms. Harvey,<\/a> Ms. Campbell<\/a>, Ms. Eichenstein<\/a> and Mr. Leikens<\/a> –\u00a0none of us\u00a0ever stop<\/em> talking about you or referring to you or our collective memories of something delightfully experienced in a PP session \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

On the way to and away from the studio, I am like a kid in a sandbox. \u00a0A photographer friend from Fashion Institute of Technology suggested taking a look at the students chalk drawings before they disappeared in the weather. \u00a0Who could miss the canvas gallery and I was drawn to color and feminine lines\u00a0of one in particular. \u00a0Interestingly, that color shows up repeatedly throughout the day in the images I saw.<\/p>\n

Delighted by color, lines, expression; common threads of simple things like cowboy boots; real or imagined flora and the twists and bends of every angle the body, life, light and love will move us into.<\/p>\n

While waiting for the train and admiring the cute advertisement for pretzel-bending Yogis from a friend\/colleague @JivamuktiJersey<\/a>, the last surprise of the day pops out of the train car I was just about to step into it. \u00a0My adorable niece and her husband SURPRISED me and solidified that fact that I was doing exactly the right thing for the afternoon.<\/p>\n

This was just a day of pure\u00a0play. \u00a0Just any Sunday. #SurpriseSunday<\/p>\n
