Being pregnant can feel good. It is a sacred time of creating. It is everything invisible that is suddenly made visceral and visible. There are so many metaphors to draw from the human gestational period and I can’t help but to use it in all my creative endeavors. It is one of my favorite […]
Let me begin by sharing what it means for me to be a woman, how embracing my feminine nature has fueled my work and my way forward in this world. I grew up in a house filled with the energy of strong women, my grandmother, Quinta, held the space for us all to be and […]
In 2020 I decided to make it all personal. I decided to share, to become a deliberate creator of my reality. Slowly I grew more comfortable with my vulnerability and that exhilarating feeling when I stood on the “bloukrans bridge” about to bungee-jump, the thought…”I am crazy, but it’s now or never!” reverberating through my […]
