Hi, I'm back.

For far too long, I've been using the excuse that not having an internet connection at my apartment is why I haven't been able to keep up with writing this blog. As of now, I'm crossing this excuse off the list and writing in a text document on my laptop in bed--gasp. 

It's been a while since I've come back to this blog, and my about me is seriously dated and in need of a re-write, so bear with me as I make updates and revamp this site. 

What's new with me? I'd be happy to tell you. 

The Stray Birds on 4.25.13

I've seen some pretty great live music lately. Namely, those talented songsters, The Stray Birds at a show at The Outer Space in Hamden, CT. I brought my whole family and two best friends to the show which earned me two shout-outs from the stage! The music was great, as usual, and now my entire family knows why I've been talking about these guys for over a year now.

Sara Bareilles at Toad's Place 4.27.13

A few days later, I was blessed to be in the presence of idol and vocal vixen Sara Bareilles on her Brave Enough Tour solo show at Toad's Place in New Haven. Not only did she tell us funny stories about a youth hostel she stayed in in Amsterdam, but she played a great show and had the whole audience bowing to her vocal prowess by the end of the first song. This was the second time I've heard Bareilles live, and let me say--I much prefer her with one instrument backing her up, you can actually hear her make singing her biotch. 

Apart from the live music, life has been sailing along smoothly. After a disappointment in the job sector, I had but an evening's freakout (involving hot yoga and a large bacon cheeseburger) before moving on to bigger and better projects, one of which I hope to be announcing officially soon! 

I've had a lot shift in the last few months and I feel it has a lot to do with the fact that I've been on the mat at hot yoga on the regular--amazing things happen when you start treating your body with respect. 

Dahlia in bloom!

If you don't mind, I have a few thank-yous to deal out:

Thank you, spring, for making everything burst with life--including me.

Thank you, h&m, for selling the clothes that I want to buy.

Thank you, books, for smelling delicious. 

Thank you, life of lu blog, for always being here to come back to. 

Lastly, I'm gearing up to start a month-long mission to reinvigorate, re-inspire and have a little revolution in myself, to continue this pattern of positive change and growth. I'll be posting weekly (or more often) updates on what I'm doing to cleanse and bring new life into lu. Follow along or come with me for the journey! Little revolutions every day. I'd love to hear your tips on what you do to hit the restart button! 

Upcoming posts to anticipate:

Hot Yoga and how it changed my life. Why you should try a class. 

Music projects.

Vegan recipes.

...and a whole new look for life of lu!

Thanks for stopping by!
