My happy place. Green & purple weren't as messy & only made it to the piece. My small piece of furniture gets the most hopeful glow-up! I'm joining a super talented group of furniture refinishers for my first challenge entry in ages. Live on YouTube on 3/30. Details to follow!

On World Wildlife Day:
"It's only natural to get down low like an animal and kiss the ground that you're walking on. It's a miracle that we're here at all." -Jason Mraz
Today, I paint, write, and hike. These are the days I remind myself to remember when it all goes haywire.

Never was particularly good at poker. As spotted at the thrift store last night. No, I didn't buy the shirt, that would've been redundant.
Fired up and unafraid to show it.

See this "janky excuse" for a workstation? Guess what I plan to do in this tiny corner of this spare bedroom? Give up? I plan to complete draft one of my first best selling novel. That's what.

Saguaro are one of my favorite living things. They only grow in one place (Sonoran desert) and could be 75-100 before an arm appears. Talk about #resilience! They live in one of the driest places and house endless wildlife. We can learn from saguaro. Stand tall & #strong & shelter who you can. #love

And the planning continues!
Nobody is more surprised than me at how much I'm enjoying plotting out this paranormal rom-com Christmas series. Outlines. *swoon*

Tell me I'm not alone in wanting more of this right now? There isn't as much as I'd like out in the world, but maybe reminders like this will help some people out there on this bleak morning. It's a tough road ahead but I know we can make it if we all stand strong together.

The Mister is making dinner and I'm outside taking a toke. Or two. Surface road traffic sounds like a constantly moving ocean, the desert breeze is full of humidity, and we're having fish for dinner. Feels like I'm back on the Pacific coast. If I close my eyes.

I love number patterns like this. Especially when I got my sweat on to achieve said digits. Outdoors and on a hiking trail! First time in a while and it felt great. Aka: I earned my loaded nachos for dinner.

A few outtakes from a recent photoshoot with my latest book. The Mister and I traveled to southern California and we filmed and photographed him w/ YCB, me w/ YCB, and the paperback on its own. Such a fun trip!
Sassy, GenX, heartfelt & available here shorturl.at/gn6Dc

Today, cold tuna pasta salad for lunch. The Mister made it last night. Yum!
Remember to eat, hydrate, and stay vigilant, but also look for ways to experience joy. This is what I'm reading, and the story is dark but the writing is a great escape! Thanks @spokanetales.bsky.social #supportindieauthors

We're fighting for what's right. Kudos to us, keep at it! However, burnout won't do. Think: airplane mask on self first. We need offline breaks. Even minis. Nature walks, reading books, music cranked-to-11, and digital coloring help me to decompress. How are you finding calm?
P.S. Stay hydrated 🩵🧜🏼‍♀️
