i, like so many of the people in my life, have been touched/affected by this “economic climate” (to use the parlance of our times) we live in today. i have seen me and my friends either lose our jobs or fear for our jobs, and, far, far worse, second-guess ourselves, our talents and capabilities.

i certainly have ridden this economic and emotional wave, at times elated and others clinging on for dear life. currently, i feel so blessed and grateful to be able to grow my business at all and to see new opportunities rising from every which way.

in order to ride this awesome wave out safely, i am making a few changes in my life:

firstly i will be downsizing: moving out of my studio space by mid-june and into a new space with two AMAZING friends & jewelers, eliza & laurel. i’m ecstatic to soon be amongst PEOPLE again! it does get very isolating working all alone in my current space.

more on my new creative direction soon. . .

secondly, i will be seizing aforementioned opportunities!

truly the best thing that has happened to me in the last year is finding my yoga practice. practicing yoga helps me not only to catch glimpses of my whole self, but it also helps me to see the true nature, beauty and connectivity of all beings and moments. (in a nutshell ) in my life, i hope to give the gift of yoga as it has been given to me. when i feel that i am ready, i would like to study and earn a teacher certification.

along with the usual dogwalking, jewelry making and yoga, i’m working on my very first book proposal! i have no idea what i’m doing and it’s such fun to dive head first into a brand new adventure. if you all have ANY advice whatsoever, i’d love to talk to you! (unfortunately, that’s all i can say about the book!).

thank you all so much for your support and for taking the time to read my blog! what are some of the changes you’ve made and opportunities you’ve seized to adjust? can’t wait to turn the page with you! xoxo
