Before we dig in, my very first in-person art show starts tomorrow!! Click here for some of the work, and more details on the studio tour/art crawl. Not even apologizing anymore for my erratic gratitude post schedule. I am so grateful for who I am. For who I’ve chosen to have in my life. For…
That is, I would be grateful for it if I had it. This week has been insane, incredible, intense. Emotional to say the least. And as I turned to my yoga—where I completely lost my shit on the mat one day which I suppose is as good a place as any to lose your mind…
