For Your Contemplation

Today’s deadline snuck up on me — that’s the truth. I’ve got a head and a heart full of ideas, and clarity about very little, so I’m offering up the WORDS of wise folks I admire in place of my own.

Then down below, I share a few updates.

What’s Going On

I’m easing back from my few months’ sabbatical, dear friend. I’d been feeling a “strivey” and even resentful energy toward my work, which I took as a clear signal to stop, reflect, and re-set.

During this time I’ve been volunteering at the ReBuilding Center, a return to my salvaged-material art-making ethos. In a couple of weeks I’ll be teaching a mosaic class there, using supplies gleaned from the salvage yard’s own tile department. Happy to report that the class sold out quickly!

I’ve also been re-imagining the Possibilities Lab that I started last winter/spring. The new version will strongly center doing and making, rather than discussing what we might possibly do or make. 🤓 Everything that’s ever moved me closer to soul work, health, and well-being has involved concrete action, regardless of how much I did or didn’t talk about it. So look for more info on that in coming weeks.

Meanwhile, I wish for you lots of outdoor time (if conditions are healthy), rose-smelling slowness, daydreams, dancing, doodles, and connection — to yourSelf, your loved ones, and the natural world.

Drinking in summer,

P.S. Renewing my commitment to materials re-use means I don’t plan on having more art reproductions or greeting cards printed. But I’ve got lots in stock right now! Click here if you’d like to peruse what’s in my shop.
