Creativity Notes

Beauty as Medicine for the Heart

Honoring the quiet labor of presence.
On Holding Space

Where does inspiration come from?
I basked in conversations with friends, sunrise meditations, walks on the coast of Rhode Island, the love of animals, art, and meeting new people.

Pop-Up at OVERLAP in Newport, RI

A strong desire to give back, share my knowledge, and help others.
