This Drawing Exercise was developed to help get more clarity in my life and visualize my reality and future experiences I wish to manifest. It's great for kids and adults, and I recommend revisiting it every couple months or so– for funsies! There is power in...
Recently, I've gotten away from diving in and writing a blog post. I got sucked into my old habits of overthinking and analyzing my choice of words, so much so that my initial, beautiful message came across inauthentic– at least to me. I'm breaking down that barrier,...
So, I think I may be starting a band? Or... maybe I already have? I've started recording music and songs I write and calling myself A Serious Artist, to poke fun at the idea... However, I'm really liking the idea!! Last night a song came to me and I recorded it. It's...

I took the job. Ridiculously happy? Me? Ermmm YEAH!!! This new job solves so many problems in my life! Moolah! Opportunity for leadership! Creative development! It opens up a world of possibility! But man, is this a transition period. Following that pure joy comes...
