In the midst of winter, I found there was in me, an invincible summer. – Albert Camus

Can’t remember the last winter in the PNW that was this sunny and dry. Not complaining. I am digging it, immensely. This just might be the first winter in a long time that I haven’t succumbed (yet) to the blues. It’s turning out to be a full-on winter of possibility rising up, a bubbling of energy, biz projects underway, family adventures in the wings.

Currently spending a couple of hours editing videos for my upcoming painting ecourse. I grabbed the "hello possibility, hello gratitude" mug. Seemed appropriate. It also says "hello wide open heart" which is a great reminder as I pour myself into this pro
Other than work and family, it’s been a pretty quiet time. Been working a lot on my upcoming e-course (just a few weeks away!), writing a ton of lessons, thinking about it constantly (inspired!), and generally pouring my heart into making it excellent. Feels really, really good.

I'm on my 5th day of single parenting (John was out of town) and about my umpteenth cup of caffeinated tea. Major respect for you single parents out there! #alittletired #worthit #buttired

I was a single mama for many days as John was out of town on a big adventure. Man. I have so much respect for single parents out there. I must have had a million cups of caffeinated tea to help keep me going. Super early mornings (John is the morning person in our household) paired with working in the evenings had me zonked. Totally worth it, but definitely tired. Loved our mama/son time though, I have to say. That kid has my heart. 

I walked into a Dr Marten shoe store for the first time in probably 20 years and was shocked to see the same exact pair of shoes I wore all through high school. The design and color are the same! I fell in love with them all over again and brought them ho

Totally random, but I walked into a Dr. Marten shoe store the other day for the first time in probably 20 years and was shocked to see the same exact pair of shoes I wore all through high school. The design and color are the same! I fell in love with them all over again and brought them home with me. I’m leaning more and more back into what simply delights me. And these red shoes light me up. It all matters.

My wish for us in 2023

  Happy New Year, friends! I've been reflecting on this past year, what I'm proud of, what was hard, what I want to carry forward in 2023, and what I want to let go of. It has been a pivotal year for me, and I'm ready for a fresh start. As I move into this next...

The sweet gift of amazement from a barista

  Recently, I was ordering my usual oat milk mocha at my favorite coffee shop when the young man at the counter, a barista, casually asked, "Whatcha doing today?" I shrugged my shoulders and answered, "Not much, just a little work." "Oh, cool," he said. "What do...
