Recognizing my codependent tendencies, and realizing that John & I - for real this time - are letting go.

Recap of my weekend in East Lansing, Michigan for Awesome Ladies Live 2018.

Things I’ve been doing LATELY in August 2018.

In this post I share my thoughts on CREATIVITY as SELF-CARE, a topic I was ask to reflect on for a panel discussion.

Info + details on the 30 Days of Lists album for March 2018 I constructed inside of a mini, mint Happy Planner™ hard cover.
