Art Of Tracy Verdugo Blog

Well hello, hello  my intrepid, awesome, beautiful family and friends!   Happy holidays and much love, peace, connection,  joy AND a plethora of all good things your way, as we head rapidly towards a brand new year!! I know some of you may have begun to think that I had fallen off the edge of the blogosphere and others have been following along with my topsy turvy 2016 journey on Instagram and Facebook, sending so much love and support my way, that I have spent the better part of my year utterly astonished and grateful for this tribe that I belong to so intrinsically. I'm going to keep this recap post MUCH shorter than previous years. Not because it has been any less incredible but because I am partially on a PAUSE and that means tending to my own self care and stepping back a little from the crazy pace I have set for myself these past few years. As usual though, my favorite part of writing this end of year post is that I get to host a GIANT GIVEA...

Having fun with a new app (Pixlromatic) Misty Mawn turned me onto in her awesome Full Circle workshop Wandering around the house and garden snapping pics; Sienna's quirky nature evident in her room; a shrine to Pop culture....  Santana's style calmer, a little more reflective, she's learning how to surround herself with things that nourish her soul...

  There is nothing like coming home after you have been away for a while.  In this case, for me, 9 weeks from September to November crisscrossing the US and spreading the Mojo from Albuquerque to Austin, Petaluma to St Pete. The most, amazing adventure and sooooooo many beautiful memories made along the way which I will share with you, sweet friends, in the coming weeks as I recap 2013 ♥  of course the best and most important part of a home is the people who live in it, who I adore and miss  every second I am away......finding out Miss Sixteen has her first boyfriend while I was in Austin, Texas was almost like missing her first step....       and of course it goes without saying that our furry and finned family members are also very much missed....thankfully they have each other while I am gone :)   Luna loves those fish with a passion!    and of course, so does Bella!   ...
