The way to an artist’s heart is through art supplies. Although, I’d never turn down chocolate and flowers.

Prepping for tomorrow’s Art for Calm collage session at the Rivet! I cut out the woman from a postcard from the 1910s, a page from a very old book of children’s stories, and some modern collage paper. If you’re interested in using art to regulate your nervous system…or just want to play with vintage paper, there are still a couple of spots left in tomorrow’s class! Link to register is at The Rivet and in my bio.

This Sunday, February 8 at 1 pm. As part of the Nervous System Reset series, we will have Art for Calm: Collage! We will start the workshop with a grounding mediation and then use a lovely collection of paper (including lots of vintage Valentine’s Day postcards, some of which are 100 years old) to create a unique and healing masterpiece. Collage is great for those getting started with art. All that is needed are scissors, glue, and creativity! Sign up today at The River’s website. You’ll be home with plenty of time to get ready for the big game!

My heart goes out to all the people in Minnesota who are fighting daily to bring back peace to their community. My heart goes out to immigrants nationwide who are under attack in violent and dehumanizing ways. My heart goes out to the families who have lost their loved ones through violence or by being disappeared.

This isn’t about choosing a political side. It’s about treating people with dignity, respect, and kindness. We are better than this.

I stand with the many small businesses who are speaking out against the tragedy happening in this country. It’s so hard to feel helpless right now. But we all have a voice. And I’m choosing to share my voice in my small sphere of influence to say, we need change.

My values have always been kindness and inclusion. I want to build a community where everyone, no matter who you are, feels welcome. But I do not welcome hatred or intolerance in my art classes or in my life.

If this message angers you, ask yourself why? Why do messages of inclusion, love, and kindness go against your own values?

For those of you participating in the nationwide buying strike today, remember your small businesses. Support them and pay in cash. Remember who has the real power.
