The making of this spread was definitely a journey.

There is so much inspiration every where. In books, movies, overheard conversations.Here are 3 things that I've enjoyed this month.

Connect with your joy, what makes time open up and feel infinite. Go there. Go there more. That is a healing place. A place to renew, nourish, discover, and create.

This morning I return to a few morning practices that some how over the past few months got neglected. One of them is morning pages. I sit down to write. Just get my hand writing and moving across the page. and through this process allow the morning to evolve into what it wants. This is what I tell myself. Dust off.
