I'm not into resolutions, but I am into naming some simple things I would like more and less of (per the practice of the lovely @juliarothman). Most of all, I've been thinking about books. I used to be a voracious reader, but so many parts of me shifted over the past decade or so. My attention span has taken a beating and I find it harder and harder to focus on reading. It breaks my heart a little to be inexplicably unable to do something I once loved. But I'm getting there. In 2021, it took all I had, but I finished one novel and a couple of graphic novels. That was a tiny triumph. I'm notorious for checking books out of the library, renewing them the max amount of time, and still never finishing them before they're due. But those books will still be there when I'm ready for them. They haven't gone anywhere. That's the thing about books: they're perpetually patient and unquestioningly loyal, regardless of your circumstances.

Wintery watercolors // This week, I organized my paints and brushes and put them in one clearly-labeled box, instead of strewn about the house in 17 different spots. Lo and behold, it inspired me to paint BECAUSE I COULD EASILY FIND ALL MY SUPPLIES 😆

Some simple holiday pleasures. However you spend this time of year, I hope it's gentle on your heart and sprinkled with a little magic. ✨ (And LOTS of taco dip.)

Proud to be a poetry and art contributor to the Summer 2021 edition of @salishmagazine. I started a poem about moon snails and motherhood well over a year ago, toward the start of the pandemic. I remember that trip to the beach so well, watching my kids play, feeling the cotton mask in my pocket, everything still so surreal (it still is surreal, if I'm being honest). Having the chance to work with that little seed of a poem some more and make art inspired by it was darn good therapy, and it was a massive step outside my comfort zone to submit and share it. 🌝🐌 I'll pop the link to the website in my bio.

In late 2020, I worked through some deep grief by making dozens of tiny watercolor paintings of plants that I love, from a place that I love. Months later, I can look back and see the purpose of that project, and how it led me exactly where I need to be. Sometimes all we need are time and art to help us see - the time part is the hardest. // I launched a new business and will be sharing more about that very soon. Excited to tell more stories about what I've been up to the past few months!

A few nights ago I dreamed that a bee stung my finger and then wound some kind of super-strong thread around it so tightly that I started to lose circulation. I woke up panicked and realized that my REAL hand was wedged awkwardly under my opposite arm, throbbing and numb from being smooshed for who knows how long. It took three days to get back to normal 😂 So, uh, huge props to my dream for alerting me of my lack of circulation.
