piecing together

15 February 2021

Dear Friends & Students,

If you have ever been in my house (remember when that was a thing??), then you know I am a lover of the pristine. Spare spaces. Curated corners. Surfaces swept clean. Minimalist to the max.

I tend to sweep things away. Behind cupboard doors or between the pages of my journals. Nothing to see here. Doesn’t everything look good?

It can be a problem. Ask my kids.

Or my therapist.

But sometimes we are given an opportunity: A pandemic. Going back to school. An impending blizzard…

I’ve been considering what lurks amidst these concealed spaces to better embrace the (hot) messiness of myself.

Like everything, it is a practice.

But lately and especially in my writing, I’ve been discovering some extraordinary hidden jewels ~

I bet you have them too.

Tonight,

I invite you to join me in practices of
