Dear Amazing Souls, 

I cannot believe I'm already writing this April guidance.

It feels as thought it's been a lifetime since March and at the same time I feel like it was yesterday that I was writing March's guidance.

This month's is short. 

There was a lot to say in Marc...

I've been debating for a few weeks now how to get these messages out in the world. 

I journal just about every day and I am currently working on making this a non-negotiable daily habit. Because when I do, there's a lot of messages that come through. 

And when I say come...

Let me start off by saying that I feel like I've been training for "Social Distancing" and "Shelter in Place"ing my entire life.

I'm kidding, but like, where's the joke?

I'm an introvert (most days), and an only child who spent the majority of my life keeping myself occu...

I think about the word "authenticity" so much.

Like, what does that even really mean?

To me, that's like telling someone to follow your heart? I don't even know how to listen to what my heart is saying, so that's super unhelpful.

 I feel so lucky to live so close to San Francisco. People travel all over the world to come to a city that has been in my backyard my whole life. My parents grew up in San Francisco. My dad and his mother grew up in the mission and my mom grew up in the Sunset distric...

If you work from home, or even if you just have a hobby, you need to a space for your ventures. I have an actual office in my house, but I never liked working in there and I couldn't put my finger on the why. It's a large space. Not much light, but it has a bookcase an...

There's been something on my mind lately that I can't seem to stop thinking about. Based on the title of the post, I'm sure you can make a safe assumption of said post topic. Anyway, yes, this post is about forgiveness. Specifically, what I have learned about forgivene...

 So, I guess I should have done an introduction as my first post, but there is something you should know about me and that is that I'm fairly unconventional. Especially when it comes to creative ventures. 

This is a perfect example of typical me; diving right into a pro...
