I recently moved to Taos, NM! A beautiful, eccentric place full of creativity, kindness, and strangeness. I have loved it so far and have been inspired by the people around me to start drawing again.
•
Creativity is special and unique to each individual, it is vulnerable, and often can challenge very intimate parts of our selves. Before starting this little sketch up in Taos Ski Valley, I sat there in a bit of a panic - what if it looks dumb? What if I hate it? Even though it was a piece I could have just ripped out of my book and thrown it away. No one would have ever seen it, yet I was scared it wasn’t going to look exactly how I wanted it to look and people would know.
•
Seems a bit silly but this mindset goes for any type of creativity! Art, sewing, performing music, writing a business proposal, giving a class lesson, ANYTHING. When we let our passion and heart show in our work, it’s scary because people can see it, YOU can see it, and judge it.
•
I’d like to challenge this fear and let my heart out in my work and tell myself it’s beautiful, it’s a work in progress, it’s not perfect and that. is. fine. I hope you’re able to be bold, be creative, and let yourself know it’s okay. Be vulnerable with yourself, be vulnerable with others ✨

Friends! There are only 30 days till Christmas. What?!
•••
With the pandemic raging more than ever, it is the year to prioritize shopping local, shopping from small businesses, shopping from your friends and this means shopping soon!
I encourage you to not wait to buy gifts till the week before Christmas, resorting in a big Amazon haul (we have all been there).
So many hard working individuals and families are busting their a** to make it through 2020 and Christmas is a perfect time to support your communities and the little guys.
•••
Buying from coffee shops, artists, boutiques, thrifters, etc. are all great resources. Online or in person! Gift cards from your favorite local spots is a great way to support as well!
•••
Who will you be shopping from this year?

Grief. Pain. It’s a struggle. It’s difficult and I wish I didn’t have to experience it and I wish you didn’t either. BUT. it is absolutely necessary for growth, development, and healing.
•
My mom is a counselor and we were talking about the stages of grief. This inspired me to do a little illustration of what it looks like. It’s not a fast process, it’s not a check list that you can get through right away and be done, and there is no time limit. It is YOUR process of emotions that is going to break and contract like waves in the ocean. It is going to happen suddenly and powerfully and it is not going to feel good.
•
IT WILL PASS and YOU WILL BE OKAY. AND I’m not going to lie to you and tell you it’s gonna be easy because it’s not. And that’s just a fact.
•
So my words of encouragement are to PROCESS. don’t rush it or hide from it, let it happen. Embrace the emotions. Feel what you’re feeling. Sad is not bad, it is information that will help you understand where you’re at and what you need. And then PRESS FORWARD. this is an opportunity to grow and develop into this next season of life with really good information about yourself. Be curious about yourself, your situation, everything.
•
And my love, you will thrive! And it’s going to be hard! But it’s going to happen either way!
•
There are obviously different levels of pain, and it may take you a week or a year, but it’s all valid and it’s all worth taking time to pay attention to. YOU are worth the time and effort. Don’t forget that✨
•
Hi I’m not a scientist and I don’t have scientific articles to cite, BUT I am human. And I feel. I highly recommend looking up ‘Emotional Agility’ by Susan David. She has a TedTalk and a great book what is so good for emotions. I also recommend counseling, always. Counseling is not for broken people, it is for people who struggle. And literally. Every. Person. Struggles. It’s ok!
•
I also recommend ‘The Gift of Imperfection’ but Brene Brown. So good.
•
That’s all from me today! Have a blessed day 💛

Fun life update - I just got hired at as a barista! I just finished my first week of training and tomorrow I will head into the next week of training. I am so excited about being apart of their team and about getting to learn so much from the people around me!

I’m trying to learn to let my brain wander and do it’s thing.
•
Something I struggle with is perception which then manifests thoughts only focused on self, even though my intention is focusing on others. For example, I desire to live sustainably and to be interested in others rather than to be interesting, but my thoughts so often trail off to ‘looking sustainable’ and ‘seeming like I am interested in others’ which isn’t the intention I desire at all. This is a difficult pattern to recognize but I am trying to acknowledge it and develop healthy ways to move away from perception and to move towards the heart.
•
That’s my TedTalk. Thank you for the vulnerable space!

What are you grateful for today? ✨
And who likes the 70s? 😍
•
I find it really easy to want more and more and more of life, because who doesn’t want to live well? But in my pursuit of joy and happiness and success, I forget to take breaks from desiring more. I forget to be grateful for what I already have. Gratitude defeats anxiety and fear!
•
Anxiety and fear are very real emotions and feelings, and need to be acknowledged, but it’s so refreshing being able to sit and trust and enjoy as well.
