art practice
Illustrator Christoph Niemann, in the Netflix documentary series *Abstract: The Art of Design*, discusses the importance of giving space for your creations to exist. He sits at his desk every day regardless of how much time he spends illustrating, and by doing so, he enables his illustrations. Build the foundation…
imperfect action
I keep telling myself that I will share when I am ready, but the truth is, I will never feel ready. Instead, I am choosing to show up, to be vulnerable, and to create the space for you to do the same. We have so much more to gain than…
finding joy
You start to wonder who you could become if you spent every day taking care of yourself and leaning into the joy. You start to wonder if maybe you never have to go back to the way it was before. You start to wonder what you could accomplish. You start…
emotional support
I took him home in his donated pink carrier (since he was too anxious to go home in the standard box), plopped him down in my bathroom, closed the bathroom door, and opened his kennel. I sat with him like that in the bathroom for hours, always respecting the sanctuary…

memories
It makes me wonder though; what will I forget about my present, my now, years into the future. What is going to stick with me? What will be forgotten? Maybe that’s a lot of the reason why I write. The reason I’m always taking pictures. The reason I try to…
lead by example
We are constantly growing, always becoming, and we will forever have people we are looking up to in one area or another. We can be evolving and be the person who opens up other people’s awareness of what it means to live our dreams.
today we write
I pick a topic or a thought and let the words flow. I am at the trailhead naming my starting point with the only goal of somehow getting back here at the end.
allow yourself to cry
I am trying to cry when I am overwhelmed. I am trying to cry so that I can express my inner agony in a way that doesn’t hurt others. I am trying to cry because it feels good.
have more fun
Take a second and try to remember all the things you used to love. Think about how you could incorporate some of those things back into your life.
