Update + Confession

Happy November!

[ AKA Happy Long-Overdue-Update! ]

Confession: I suck at blogging. Yep. It’s true. This stems from the fact that I am busy “doing the work” that I rarely have time to “write about the work.” It’s a failure on my part, but I’m not too hard on myself.

The creative life is an ebb and flow. Never the same. Often a grueling slog of self-discipline and hard work paired with THE MOST AMAZING CAREER EVER. I am beyond thankful that I am able to work as an artist, author, filmmaker, curator, and all the other hats I wear. I am grateful. I wake up grateful EVERY SINGLE DAY.

I am not going to make hollow promises to blog more. NOPE.

What I am going to promise you is this:

  • I will continue to pursue my creative passions with undying determination and innovation.

  • I will share – as best I can – with my community through this blog and also my other social channels.

  • I will not stress about being perfect and posting like clockwork.

  • I will do things that matter, create stories that touch your heart, and make art that has something to say.

  • I will do the above with joy and humor, and as authentically as I can.

  • I will continue to bubble up with gratitude for you, reading this right now, my community. Thank you for being here.
