There’s nothing quite like a solid, loving, and genuine bond between two people. Romantic love is, of course, its own category and a topic for another day. Today is about the type of friendship that teaches you things about yourself and the world that nothing else can…

I recently met a woman for the first time in-person after being each other’s hype-ladies for years online. Neither of us could remember exactly how our paths crossed or explain why we were always in each other’s corners despite not really knowing one another. It just kind of happened, naturally. We were committed to carving time in our respective calendars to finally meet, hug, get to know each other, and fire each other up IRL…

This blog post is to serve several types of people: those who don’t see the beauty in daily bed-making, those who need a reminder that simple implementations (bed-making or other) really can make a much bigger wave than you could expect, and those who are taking a brief moment from reading Instagram or Facebook captions. Raise your hand if you’re one of those peeps…

Howdy! How ya been? I’ve been living, learning, and healing. This past year has been something else. But here I am, feeling rejuvenated and somewhat healed from what was thrown my/our way. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve shared my world with the big world. | Featured in this post: Mia’s passing, Bell’s misadventure, my and Kenzie’s misadventure, Blue House update.

Late November/early December I felt my creative energy rising and knew that something exciting was on the horizon. Little did I know that the whole month would be my most prolific month…so far, ever. I just finished my 36th painting in less than a month today. 36th. painting…

It’s been 1 year since I presented my second body of work, MORPH, to the public. It was a complete labor of love, a budding idea that I tended to for a year or so. My process for creating a collection of work has always been fluid and I rely on inspiration (who ain’t no timely bitch!) for the initial decision to pursue it, even if it takes over a year to refine it…

Progress, baby, progress! Although there’s still much, MUCH to be done, some of the most fun with big projects comes from the dreaming and scheming in the beginning. Granted, a lot of these plans will change as we start getting into the weeds and deets, but as of the last couple weeks, playing around with big ideas has brought its own gratification…

As we turn in to the end of the year, my mind has been opening up like a crumpled piece of paper. Unraveling its crinkles and sweeping my hand over the textured sheet, I’m looking at the results from a year filled with tragedy, solitude, and, unsurprisingly, growth…

I’m buying the house that I was born in. (Not literally born in, but lived there ‘til I was six months old). It also is the house that my dad bought when he was about my age and the first house my parents had together. For. real. After moving out as a family, my dad…

There’s no denying that 2020 has been hard on every single person on this planet (and the planet herself). Some, of course, more so than others, but still difficult nonetheless. I don’t need to list the tragedies, injustices, and crises that have flooded our year to get the point across. It’s pushed a lot of us to the edge and…

Every year, the third grade class at my school would take a field-trip to the charming Honey Creek School, about 30 minutes away. My older sister, Kate, told me and my younger sister, Kenzie, all about the excursion. We would…

Dear my love, I hope this letter finds you well. You might have stumbled upon this or sought it out, either way, I’m glad you’re here. Now that I have your attention, I want you to…
