Loved the ending of “The Hill We Climb” by Amanda Gorman during the 2021 Inauguration.

As we take time to pause and give thanks, I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you following along on this journey. Whether you are a quiet observer or someone who regularly responds to these emails and comments on my social media posts, I am grateful for you…

Let’s do this. If you looked in a mirror right now, you could…

What’s making you happy right now? I created this template in collaboration with Clinique for Instagram, and wanted you all to be able to have a free download so you can print and fill out!…

Hey friends! I am SO excited about this collaboration that we have been working on for a while now. 2020 just got a lot more organized and a lot more colorful. Some people might be over the moon but right now, I’m over the rainbow. I am so pleased to announce a major collaboration with Archer & Olive…

Are you doing everything that you can to fill your buckets? One of the keys to a life well-lived is to make sure you’re focusing your energy on doing activities and spending time with people that fill you up. Today on the podcast, I am honored to be joined by Jonathan Fields, a national bestselling author and the founder of Good Life Project…

Meet me at the starting line! Sometimes, meeting in person can give your creative practice the jumpstart it needs. This fall is the perfect opportunity to do so because I’m teaching 3 workshop sessions at Ready...Set...Create right here in Los Angeles! Ready...Set…Create is an awesome event run by the lovely folks over at Down to Details…

Craftcation is always an incredible time. It truly is the crossroads of creativity + crafting + community + connection. The whole city of Ventura gets to feel the energy of creatives coming together to celebrate what they love to do. I get to teach classes, spend time with other creators, and build community with old friends (plus make new ones along the way). I didn’t realize this until I started putting the blog post together this time around, but I’ve been documenting Craftcation on this blog since 2013…

One of the best books I read last year was Stretched Too Thin by @jessicanturner. I needed to learn “how working moms can lose the guilt, work smarter, and thrive” and ended up with so much more.

The great thing about happiness is that, unlike holiday lattes and music, it is acceptable and available year round. There’s no “season” for happiness except the moment you’re living in right now. There’s also no expiration date on it, either…

One of the best things you can do for yourself is be kind to others. Today and every day, let’s transform negativity and bad vibes with goodness and positivity…

SO excited to have been invited by the ladies of Crafty Ass Female to be a guest on their podcast! It was such a blast. The three of us discussed all sorts of awesome things and played games— including “my therapist said…” and talked about how to let go of negativity in our lives…

“When women move forward, the world moves with them.” – African Proverb. I was so inspired to be featured in Raven and Lily’s site and journal. We all have that one pair of earrings or necklace that gets all the compliments and catches people’s attention. Raven and Lily’s Zia earrings are like that for me.

Choose joy! Those two words sound so easy, right? I firmly believe that looking on the brightest side of life is a choice you’ll never regret. That doesn’t make things any less difficult when facing life’s challenges…

There’s nothing like good conversation and there's always room for more happiness and enjoyment in our lives. Seek the Joy is a lovely podcast hosted by Sydney Weiss about the importance of a life filled with (you guessed it) joy!…

It was an honor to be interviewed by Your Zen Mama for their Folks We Love feature! I loved sharing my principle on how it's not so much about balance for me anymore, but really about harmony…

Here's the free download created for Simply Cards & Papercraft Magazine!

My intention was to create an updated list of books that have changed my life, but as usual, there are a lot of things going on behind the scenes…
