These Boots

“Boots” These boots are more than boots. They are freedom. I can walk through water, dirt and mud and still stay nice and dry. I can walk in tall grass and dry sand and know that the critters of Texas won’t bite or sting me. These boots have just the right amount of “fur” on […]

Trust the Process

Well…I will have results back in a couple of days. (See previous post. ❤️💜💛🧡💚) Until then, I’m moving ahead and having some fun touching base with the first “Camp Marfa” participants. The program is turning into something magical…a space and time for people to simply breathe, be, unravel, experience nature, feel joy, go inward, go […]

Even if you have kids and a family. Schedule time alone. Express yourself artistically. Move your body. Meditate. Go out of your […]

Safe Places

Is there an antonym for inspiration? Because today’s post, unfortunately is whatever that is. So if you don’t want to read this, don’t. I respect that. We are all just trying to make sense. Last night my kids and I established a safe-go-to-place should any natural or unnatural disasters lead to our need to find […]
