Makes you (well, me) think about the evolution of beauty. Who is really in charge of it that looks like? There is a poem by @nayyirah.waheed that comes to mind that reads, “what is most heartbreaking about an obsession with beauty, is…

  • My Practice: Morning Journaling

    My morning journaling includes a lot of doodling too. ? It’s how I, uhhhh, hide really top secret things in my note book, making it look like pages of scraps. Makes sense to me! ?

    Ever have one of THOSE days? *sighs* Yeah, me too. I might be having one of them as I type this and by might, I mean I am.

    In December, I began toying with a new practice that has dramatically shifted my need to be “perfect” to being good instead; feeling more content, dancing in self-gratitude, drowning out noise and doing more passionate work because of it. This new practice has forced me to really face myself in an imperfect light and be human. To be kinder and more compassionate – to others and to myself. This new…
