Color Factory NYC
I can not wait to experience Color Factory NYC, which opens TODAY. From the press sneak peaks I have seen on Instagram it’s an incredibly joyful experience! Giant size ball-pit anyone?
Color Factory is a collaborative interactive exhibit that debuted in San Francisco in August 2017. What was intended as a month-long run unexpectedly flourished as a celebration of color and creativity that lasted for another eight sold-out months.
FYI: You can’t buy tickets at the door, so make sure to buy them ahead of time here. (I Just bought mine! My kids can’t wait!)
Pleated Eco-Bag
Love these simple, Japanese Pleated Eco-Bags.
Petite Garden by Jess Chen
These tiny flowers by Jess Chen have completely won my heart. And, I am not alone – this latest Tattly launch is flying off the shelves.
Poketo Steps Tee
Love this minimal shapes Tee by Poketo.
Resilience Cards
I could have used these Resilience cards a few years ago. Definitely putting these on my radar to give out as gifts. Love what School of Life keeps putting out.

Being In Alignment

To Get a Group to Open Up
“To get the group to be vulnerable, he said, we facilitators needed to share an even more personal story than we expected our clients to. We would set the depth of the group by whatever level we were willing to go to; however much we shared, they would share a little less. We had to become, in effect, participants.”
