Updates and Sneak Peeks 👀

Coming to you live, from the hopeful shores of a NNY Spring. Although, there has been an ice storm warning for this weekend. Might sound depressing to some folks, but it’s fairly normal here. We shall Allow . Mother Earth cannot switch overnight. All is well. It’s just that sometimes, after the snow melts, it’s ice storms. Annnnnd mud, garbage, poop (which also looks like mud yay), scary-paraphernalia, and flooding 😬😰 so, there’s that. But hot on the heels of all that, comes GARDENING. We call this “spring”, but loosely. I mean, it’s not 4 feet of snow anymore, but it’s also not simple rain and new flowers. The weather and all of it is really not a surprise though. And I find it interesting that despite folks knowing all of this up here, lots act like goldfish with the little plastic castle. (Heyyy Ani D. Or are we just complainers with nothing to complain about?) Anyhow, here’s your reminder that one day soon, we will all blink or sneeze or glance away somehow or wake up to find the leaves and green simply returned, and the breeze full of grill smells and other toasty things burning, people racing their…

Juniper’s Journey Progress

Please enjoy this latest glimpse of “Juniper’s Journey”. I’m sharing it in celebration of being onto the next phase with my upcoming children’s book! 🙌🏽🎉 I swear, these guys have just been falling out of my pencil, and they’re just- there. I’ve been channeling elephants, with no brakes (or really, breaks). 😅 Strangest and loveliest thing. I now truly want to hang out with some actual elephants more than ever before, asap. Ah well.Below, you’ll find a link to the page of my site devoted to the upcoming children’s book and its process of becoming. 🩶 Rumor has it that there may be more to this journey with some other characters in the wings…the savannas and grasslands are wide expanses, with much to discover and learn. So, stay tuned on that front as well.🏜️🌌🦁🦛🐍🦏🦒🦓❤️ Above is the link to my YouTube channel where I discuss the book and more. Please check it out and subscribe with notifications, to follow along and be first to know about its release.

Feel this

Close your eyes, and feel it. The sounds • the words • the journey. Let go and ride the waves. Lose your grip and float for a while. Be overcome. Be washed in it. Let this masterpiece flow into and through you. This is the transformative power of the arts. ❤️‍🩹🤟🏽

2025 🎆

Hello, my fellow human beings, and happy day or night…however this finds you, I’m sending love… From a new space- testing the waters, so bear with us.So, here we are in a brand new year. Which can also sometimes look like just another day on the calendar page. And that’s okay. No matter what anyone else is doing. Always remember, if you’re doing the best you can with what you’ve got, you’re doing just fine. And if you’re not even sure?? Breathe. No need to renovate after you get a gym membership and sign up for night classes once your new vitamins kick in. Unless that’s what you want to do, of course. Ride the wave- no matter what that looks like for you right now. It might be winter for you, with your life mirroring it in kind. And if that means, letting things die and fall away while you hide in your own soul’s shadow with a cup of hot tea and soup cooking in the background and the shades drawn, phone off, and the lights low…cool. It all just is. Let it be. Let *you* be. Definitely look at the hype. Appreciate the hype for being the…
