I have been starting a new phase of my being, starting a new way of thinking and of going about things. I am taking a new class on herbalism and botany, and also started at a moon club focused on transformation. I have been learning all the things and I can’t wait to update you […]
What’s the best decision you’ve ever made?
I asked this question of my Facebook friends last week. I got a variety of different answers, from finding their partner, to starting a project, going to a new place, to believing in a religion. At the beginning of 2019 I set the intention of creating more connection. I had always told myself the story […]
Let’s be radically ourselves.
Hey Stranger~ I’ve been traveling a lot. I’ve been exploring, thinking, and brainstorming. I have been taking photos, but not as much. Mostly, I am living in these moments…learning and excited to explore new things. Photography is always going to be my love, but I am giving myself permission to follow my excitement and do what […]
What I learned this year and what made a difference.
It’s been a whole year since my last one of these. Holy frijoles. That means that it has been a little over a year that I have started blogging, writing, and sharing my creative learnings with all of you. Thank you. Thank you for being here and participating and sharing your own thoughts. I can’t […]
How to stop feeling so overwhelmed as a small business owner with a full-time job.
Having a full time job while starting a business can be exciting. You have the revenue to fund your rent and bills, so you don’t put so much pressure on having to make enough money right away. However, it can also be extremely tiring. It can be hard to see the endless list of to-dos […]
How to stay creative when working full time.
I currently work full time at a start-up and have my own business on the side. I also maintain my relationships with friends and my partner. It isn’t easy and sometimes one of those things suffers, for sure, but I don’t buy it when people tell me that I can’t have a great career and […]
The Starving Artist Persona is Flawed
Somewhere along the line, when we were growing up, we were told that only tortured souls made good artists. We were told that our art is not as great as those of artists that have fallen down the spiral of alcoholism due to their passion. The artist that refuses to paint anything because he’ll never create […]
Solo Travel to Ireland
I went to Ireland by myself and didn’t die! Traveling solo has been a goal of mine for some time now. It is the ultimate “I do whatever I want” and such a confidence booster. I finally got the chance when I traveled to Dublin, Ireland in early May. To be honest, I was nervous […]
How creating art helps you grieve.
This last week I lost a person that I spent three years with. We did break up and were not the best of friends after, but I always said that over time, we would be able to talk again. He died on April 20th at 9am. I have done a lot of grieving and gone […]
Easy ways to waste less.
The zero waste phenomenon has been extremely interesting to me lately. While I am not zero waste, I am currently working on limiting my footprint as much as I can. For awhile I felt bad for not starting sooner, but I realized that I did not fully understand the immensity of the problem and reducing […]
