Amanda Gorman
Amanda Gorman took my breath away during today’s inauguration.
I cried my eyes out when Kamala Harris was sworn in. Madame Vice President! What a moment!
Where Are My Chickens?
I don’t have chickens, gut the sheer existence of this egg-pocket-apron makes me want to have chickens. It helps you collect the eggs in the chicken coop.

“Jootsing”: The Key to Creativity
As individuals, if we want to be creative, we need to give ourselves space to play and experiment without a set agenda.

During that wasted time, you’ll likely have your best, most creative ideas.
Zip Top Reusable Silicone Bags

Praise Shadows
My friend Yng just recently opened an Art Gallery and Art Shop in Boston and I am thrilled for her!
I love the name of her company, Praise Shadows, which was apparently inspired by this book by Junichiro Tanizaki.
Today I was just perusing her online shop and yep, I am totally getting one of these baseball hats.
Good luck Yng. I am so excited for this new chapter in your life!

These. Are. Cool.

My response was: Your body will tell you what is right for you and what is not. (Jobs, friends, homes, … really anything) It all comes down to resonance.
