Sometimes it’s the smallest things that stop you suddenly in your tracks. Yesterday, when I was walking outside I came across these tiny flowers sprouting out their branches. Being that it was the first day of Autumn yesterday, I was so enamored by the subtle beauty of a new flower. At first I was going to[…]
The good things list
In lieu of a blog this week, I’m bringing you a list. I’m honoring myself through this list, as I reflect on my upcoming birthday. I am a big advocate for the seeking, seeing, and believing in the good things of life. I come at this from a place of realness, knowing and acknowledging that there[…]
Shakespeare and the overgrown grass
A little over a week ago, I debuted new art and gave a short talk on my art + life process. In the days leading up my event, I started to feel vulnerable and wondered if putting myself, my work, and my words out there was truly worth the preparation and the unknown. When I[…]
Balance
Dear beloved, I am writing to you about balance today. This one word is loaded. It’s somewhat of a dirty word for our fast pace life right now. Balance. It’s a word that we strive to achieve in our life, but can feel guilty when we don’t have it. For this blog, I identify balance[…]
I’ve done it again
Tomorrow night I am displaying my art + giving a talk about my creative process. Often, I get to this point in my art making that I don’t know if anything I create is good anymore. As I prepare for my night of exhibition, I see that my feelings are magnified by the vulnerability of showing[…]
Giving permission
I am wearing a badge of busy these day. I wrestle with this badge, because I believe being “busy” is sometimes a cop-out for showing up for life. Or at least being busy was my excuse against living my life fully for a very long time. Sometimes, though, you are downright FILLED with the happening of your[…]
Patience is a Virtue
But certainly isn’t mine as of late… Let me clarify and say, patience with myself is not my greatest strength: I admit this, I see it, I own it. But, patience with others, now that’s my jam. I can peacefully sit vigil for 36 hours without sleep while a woman becomes a mother giving birth. I know[…]
Are you in Creative Incubation or Creative Crisis mode?
A few days ago, I came to this conclusion: When you let go, and let your dreams come to you in the way they fit for YOUR life (not in someone else’s life or how you perceive them to be in others lives) things click together. They just do. The aspect of yourself that you[…]

Rituals that keep me creatively rooted
In all the hats I wear (as an artist, a blogger, a doula, a mentor, a wife, a sister, a daughter, an auntie, + friend) I get disconnect from myself, my roots, from time to time. It’s easy in our busy life to forget the whole picture of our big, beautiful life. What I do[…]
