8 Jul

The Carbon Almanac. It’s finally here! I received my pre-ordered copies this week, and it’s so exciting! I’ve only flipped and skimmed through most of the pages so far. But it’s just as incredible as I knew it would be. So much relevant and readable information on a topic we all deserve to be more literate in. I’m so proud…

A little update as to what’s happening in my little city garden in July: These white geraniums were wilted and hardly blooming on my front porch.

Impatiens and English ivy in a vintage watering can….

29 Jun

By necessity, my work space has always been at least somewhat portable. On any given day, I might be at the Kitchen Counter Office, the Dining Table Office, the Coffee Table Office, or the only one with a door, the Closet Office. The laptop and phone are obviously portable. And I carry all my notebooks and pencil cases in a…

A retrospective journal spread for 2020...these ar A retrospective journal spread for 2020...these are some blank pages in the back of my planner and I’m flipping back through the months and weeks to document the things I started, finished, loved or hated, was blessed with or overcame.  I’ve set up space for 20 things (because 2020) but if I feel like turning the page and writing more I will. There are no rules to journaling. Wishing you all a lovely few more days of this year. 🤍

Earlier this year I made a commissioned piece for a virtual healing circle.  I was honored to contribute to such a beautiful and necessary event.  It’s now many months later ... but in the midst of pandemic and holidays and lockdown, it’s still important that Black lives matter.
