Zipporah’s Mantra: This too shall pass
I am deeply in love with language…particularly the
language of light. Light that reflects, that illuminates, that emanates…but also the kind that dances between lovers, on the faces of new parents…light that travels between an artist’s hands and their canvas or instrument…light that animates souls. My passion is helping others discover the tiny magic of everyday things. #everydaymacro on Instagram.
