VIV Moments

Hometown

I'm a nomad but spend time in Palm Springs and Big Bear, CA

Greasy tacos, my dog's wet nose, good energy around me, learning something new, great storytellers, floating on my back in the pool and gazing up at the sky.

VIV Moment

I grew up on a farm in California where my mom made our food — from bread and ice cream to butter and cheese. I have the most beautiful memories of those days. We grew just about everything on that farm, rode the horses, plowed the fields, made music in front of the fire and shared the fruits of our labor at the dinner table. After 12 years of bliss, it all ended when my mother died of cancer.

Recently, I was lying under one of her cozy handmade quilts, having just cooked one of her recipes, pork chops in milk for my husband, and I could hear her laugh — and I realized that she is still with me.
