Coming up this week on my ShineWoman Substack!
Managing the unexpected on my horse riding adventure in Spain’s Sierra Nevada Mountains. It was a wild ride, continuing this year's theme of random events that can threaten to throw you off track.

Coffee rooster.
Somehow, in this time of #unemployment the kitchen has become my studio. There can be beauty in uncertainty, creativity in limbo.
I didn't intend to create the rooster. But a quieter mind can enable us to see.
Have you been creative lately? Would love to see ☀️

Hey fellow recently #unemployed and #DOGE'd. Ever consider pivoting in your #career? For about an hour this weekend I thought of becoming a pastry chef and baked some bread. 😂

I love how this fallen tree in Costa Rica demands to live by reaching with new roots to the ground - even if it is giving off major Human Centipede vibes. #scriptsky #horror

Been feeling miserable since being DOGEd and breaking my wrist and then I remembered something I can still do and which I don't do nearly enough: paint. Here's an old still life from when I studied at @Massana art school in Barcelona. #artists
