I finished this blanket coat this week and sent her to her new home today. I love it so much I might need to make myself one too! 🌻

There’s something about taking a soft colorful fabric and using your hands to turn it into something beautiful to be worn.

I'm so grateful for this process! Every coat teaches me something new. Like...don't sew when I'm tired. 😂 Like let things be imperfect and still beautiful.
And most of all - follow what lights me up.

This blanket coat… she’s special. Flowy, artsy, cozy, a little indie-soul. A whole mood.

Swipe to see her in motion. 🌼✨

This coat started with a pull I couldn’t ignore -- a sacral yes that led me straight to my sewing machine. Sewing is in my blood (thanks, Mom 💛), and every time I follow that creative nudge, it feels like coming home to myself.

Made from a soft blanket, finished with bound seams and deep pockets, this piece carries warmth and soul. It’s unlined for natural drape and easy layering -- designed to feel both cozy and alive.

This isn’t fast fashion -- it’s slow, intuitive creation. A one-of-a-kind art piece meant to be worn, and lived in. A reminder that art lives in the everyday.

Details:
• Handmade blanket coat (unlined for movement & comfort)
• Bound seams for clean finish and durability
• Deep front pockets
• Blanket-weight fabric with fringe edges
• Price: $150
• One of a kind

✨ Perfect for anyone who loves texture, creativity, and a little wildhearted magic in their wardrobe.

This one is mine, but I'm taking orders. 😃 (You can choose any blanket you like, as long as it's 60x80). Link in bio to order this exact style (Inhabit Studio), or DM for custom orders.

A client told me recently,
“I always come out of here feeling like a new person.”

I love hearing that - AND, the truth is—
you don’t leave as someone new. You leave as you.

The you that was always there, waiting beneath the stress, the noise, the tension. Like water settling after a ripple, you return to how you’re meant to feel.

✨ I have a couple openings left this week if your body’s craving that reset.

Today 1:00
Thurs 12 & 1:30

✨ Yesterday, on my walk, I found a blue jay feather. 🪶

It might sound small, but I felt a rush of awe holding it in my hand.

I’d just been listening to an episode of Soul Gum about wonder—about how we so often reserve childlike wonder for children. What happens when we let ourselves feel that too?

I showed my treasure to Grant, and he laughed and said, “You’re so excited—you seem like a little kid.”

Mission accomplished.

Awe is everywhere, waiting for us, if we're just willing to receive it.

Because feeling at home in your body shouldn’t be a mystery.

I honor my body’s rhythms while creating a life that feels like art — steady, messy, and alive.

Sometimes that rhythm is soft and cozy, like a slow morning with a book and tea. Other times it’s wild and unpredictable, like mushrooms popping up overnight. It all belongs.

If you've been meaning to book a massage forever-and-a-day, consider this your sign. ✨

For a limited time, I'm offering a new client special - your first 60-minute massage for $75 (regular $90).

Most of the women I see in my massage room have one thing in common - they take care of everyone else first. They're the do-ers, the nurturers, the ones who push through the tension in their shoulders because "there's no time."

But here's the thing - when you finally give your body the chance to slow down, everything shifts. You become more patient. You breathe deeper. You remember that this is how you're supposed to feel - fully at home in your body.

If your shoulders just dropped reading this girlfriend - it's your time. I have a few openings this week for you if you're ready to exhale.

"At least you have a new poem now."

My gosh I love my people. They see me in my wholeness and love me even when I'm messy. So many people said so many great things that helped me this week.

But this one was my favorite. Reminds me of how Chelsie Diane says "Do it for the poetry."

I may have been messy but I have a poem for it. ;)

I've had some moments the past couple days. The kind that make you feel uneasy. Where your inner critic gets loud and the temptation is to shrink and hide.

Old me? I’d have stayed in the “I can’t believe I did that” spiral for days.
This version? I leaned on my community for support. And I coached myself through it — and came out lighter.

Here’s the truth I keep learning (and teaching):
✨ You’re allowed to feel the sting without living in it.
✨ Curiosity moves you forward, self-punishment keeps you stuck.
✨ A clear plan beats shame every single time.

That’s what these 3 steps are about. This is the same process I used on myself this week, and the one I walk with my clients through.

Growth doesn’t happen in the highlight reel moments. It happens in the messy middle — if you’re willing to show up for yourself there.

💬 I’d love to know — what’s one question you ask yourself or something that helps you when you’re stuck?

This wasn't what I planned to share today...but here we are! I planned to share something on my new program Ignite HER. But then I realized maybe what I wanted to share IS actually about the program, just in a roundabout way.

Today was one of those raw, tricky days.
Started with journaling and a walk. Felt okay.
And then… boom. Energy tanked. Mood crashed. Everything felt heavy.

A hard conversation.
Words that stung. Doubt in the air.
And for a moment, I questioned everything.
My business. Myself.

But...I didn’t stay there.

I created. (recorded a reel, even if I didn’t feel “on”).
I cleared energy for a beautiful friend reclaiming her space from an old story. Complete with a gorgeous sage bundle, crystal singing bowl, tingshas.

I moved in a Yoga room full of heat and sweat and let my body wring it out.
A tear rolled down my cheek.
And somehow, I left lighter.

This is what healing looks like sometimes.
It’s messy. Real. Brave in quiet ways.
It’s letting the day be what it is, and still choosing to keep showing up.

And that is what Ignite HER is really about.

Not doing it alone.
Not pretending you have it all together.
But being in a space where you can be real.
Held. Seen. Reignited.

And if you’re in a season where you’ve been feeling it all—
You’re not alone. And you don't have to walk alone.

DM me to join us 8/11!

The moment I honored my truth, there was a shift.

This is Ignite HER. Getting honest. Trusting your timing. Reigniting your spark from the inside out.

We start Aug. 11. Let's go!

The moment I honored my truth, there was a shift.

We start Aug. 11. Let's go!

🔥 IGNITE HER — begins 8/8

This isn’t about finding your spark.
It’s about remembering it was never gone.

Your fire didn’t disappear.
It got buried under the shoulds, the noise, the programming, the stories.

But you’re not meant to live dimmed down.
You’re meant to walk in a room lit up from the inside.
Unapologetically HER.

This 5-day experience is your invitation to come back to your power.

✔ Reignite your voice
✔ Reclaim your life as your own
✔ Move, speak, and lead from the woman who already knows

We start soon!
🔥 Message me to grab your spot.

Not every fire starts with fireworks. Some start with a single spark.
A decision.
And from there, everything shifts.

Ignite HER starts soon.
A 5 day activation for the woman who's done waiting.

Do you feel her?
DM for details!
Opening call 8/8!

The details have arrived! I'm so so excited for this program.

Do you feel it? The energy feels soooo juicy and different right now. And if you don't feel it - get in my energy and let's go. ;)

The old stale energy is moving out. It's not cutting it anymore.
You're waking up.
Ready to move differently.
Speak differently.
BE different.

Ignite HER is here to fan the flames and walk through it with you. Because honestly sometimes as much as we want to move differently, our old patterns keep us stuck. So we're going to do some clearing out, some visioning new, and moving on it.

This is a 5-day immersion for the woman who's over feeling "blah' and ready to be in her fullest expression. This is where we shift from stuck to sparking. Small to magnetic. Disconnected to HER.

What's inside:
Day 1: Opening Ceremony Call (75 minutes). We set the tone, activate your energy, and clear what's been dimming your light.

Days 2-4: Private Telegram support. You'll receive daily voice note drops, and get coached in real-time as you integrate.

Day 5: Closing ritual. You'll leave lit up, rooted in your new way of being.

Plus surprise journaling promps and soul-fire extras along the way.

We begin August 8th - Lion's Gate portal! Opening call will be that day, we'll take the weekend to be immersed in the energy, and Telegrams will start Monday 8/11.

Price: $222 PIF or 2 payments of $111.

DM me for questions or to lock in your spot! This will be an intimate group. 🫶

I didn’t wait to become her.
I embodied her.

Put on the tee I designed.
Turned on Bob Marley.
And danced like the woman I’m becoming.

🔥 Ignite HER is for the woman ready to come alive.
To move.
To remember.
To reignite.

DM HER to join the waitlist. This is just the beginning. 💥

Over the last several months, I’ve mostly been quieter on here. Part of me needed to pull back after going live on FB daily. But more than that—I needed to get quiet enough to hear my own soul.

I’ve been journaling my heart out.
Writing poetry. Romancing my life.
Sewing. Creating. Running my healing business.
And of course… full-on sports mom mode. 😉

But in the quiet, in the stillness, a fire was lit.

This week, I channeled in my journal:
“I am the CEO + Creative Director of my life.”
I didn’t plan to write it. It just… came out.

Then I asked myself— “How would I move today with that energy?” That question changed everything.

I cleaned off the chair (you know the one - with the sky-high laundry pile 😅).
I created a t-shirt. I ate well. I moved my body. And in that shift, I felt her…

The version of me who had been waiting to come alive.

And that’s when Ignite HER was born—
A reawakening for the woman who’s done feeling “blah.” Who’s ready to reconnect to her own fire. To reclaim her desires. To remember who she is.

This is just the beginning. 🔥

Comment or DM if you want to hop on the wait list and stay in the loop. ❤️

A couple days ago, I finally had some free time. Funny how I crave it—and then, when it arrives, I have no idea what to do with it. So I just lay there. Practically comatose, drooling on myself, until I can’t take it anymore. 🤤🤣

I fiiiinally asked myself...what teeny tiny spark is alive right now? "Sewing."
Creative energy has been sooo big for me this year! It's been a year of sewing and poetry...Sewitry? :)

So I sewed. 😉 I found a pattern that looked quick and easy and dug into my big ol’ clear Sterilite bin of fabrics (thank you forever to Deana Kasmi for passing it on—it feels like a treasure chest every time I open it). I pulled out this pretty teal IKEA duvet cover, which in a few hours transformed into this little tie top. 🤩

It’s not perfect, but more lessons learned, more skills built. Wish I'd made a size smaller (sizing can be so tricky!) but it's ok. The side ties are supposed to be bows, but I'm liking them hanging loose. 🤙

It turns out, boredom really is fertile ground for creation. 🍃

(The boys were gone so I had time to do a lil photo shoot. 📸). 🧡

I could feel it in the air that day—
the magic swirling
like a secret
dancing between the branches of the trees.

Dog on a leash
walking happily.
Kobe stops under a tree
to do his thing.

Like manna from above,
something starts raining on me.
Plink, plink.
I braced for the worst—
bird poop?!
no!

When I looked up,
my eyes danced with delight.
I saw BUDDY!
We thought he was gone—
little rascal
who takes our Blitz balls
and makes them Swiss cheese,
the one who makes us laugh
with his mischievous ways.

Smirking in the branches,
tail twitching with secret signals,
scampering up and down,
making eye contact and playful chatter.

He reminds me life is lighter
when I let myself play,
and that magic and messages
surround us every moment
of every day.

The truest version of you. She's been waiting, juuuuust beneath the surface. Patient. Fierce. Full of life.

Inhabit HER™ is a remembering.

For the woman who's tired of drifting, performing... or asking permission to exist in HER way.

No fixing. No forcing. She's already here. She's stirring. She's ready.

Inhabit HER™ is waiting.

I whipped up some simple little PJs this week for one of the kings of my heart. 💚👑 😉. I took a gamble on a mystery box of fabric and wasn’t sure how in the world I’d use this one—but Grant thought it was cool, so I went to work. :)

There’s just something about making things from the heart. The presence. The love made visible.

Today brought a sweet synchronicity.
I’d recently journaled about one of my favorite compliments I’ve ever received—back in massage school, a staff member told me after a practice session:
"It’s like you’re an artist molding her clay."
Coming from an art background, that one always stuck with me.

Then this afternoon, a client sighed on my massage table and said, "It’s amazing the difference I feel when you’re done with my back... It’s like this is your art."

This life is my art.
The medium might shift—touch, fabric, words, energy—
but it’s all part of the same expression.

I'm in a creative renaissance.
Life is the canvas. 🖼🖌

A double dose of body love + soul expression.

Last night, my body gave me a message I couldn’t ignore.
A bone-deep knowing. 'It’s time.'
Time to take exquisite care of this body—like the sacred temple it is.
Time to treat food, movement, rest, - and even what I wear as part of the healing.

So today, I honored the call in two ways:
1. With a luscious green smoothie made in pure devotion (even stopped at the market at 8 am to pick up some items to make it).
2. By finishing a dress I made. This thing was a BEAST. Way beyond my skill level. I had no business attempting this, AND - am so proud that I did. It's messy. It's imperfect. I made so many mistakes. But this dress holds a story. Of my learning. My growth. My resolve.

This is the beginning of a new body rhythm.

Slow. Sensual. Soul-led.
One sip. One stitch. One step at a time.

Everything is romantic through the right eyes.

I got to have an unusually slow Saturday morning.
A slow wake-up. Slow journaling. My favorite kind.

And then I asked myself one of my favorite questions:
How do you want to feel?

I stared out the window at the misty gray sky, listening to the soft rhythm of rain. No rushing. Just full presence with my body, my breath, stillness.

And the answer came quietly, but clearly:
Romantic.
A return to my word for the year.

I remembered -
Romance is a lens I choose to wear.
It’s how I choose to see the world.
It’s the way I notice softness, beauty, and nuance in the everyday.
It’s letting a drizzle of rain feel like poetry.
It’s finding devotion in the quiet, and magic in the mundane.
It's the way your candles and fireplace light the dark.
It's the way your pet snoozes peacefully on a rainy day.
The way the sky blushes at dusk.

Romance, for me, is presence.
It’s a way of being.
And it’s available—always—when we’re willing to see through that lens.

What's something ordinary that feels romantic to you today?

Wrote this poem after making a headband to match pants I made. I was so tired all afternoon but tonight, the creativity was flowing.

............

A whole new side of me is coming alive.

She's always been in there,
I've danced with her before.
But this is something different.
This time there's more.

The creative fire burns
It burns until I move
It's not a decision I make
It's a current I answer

A need that pricks my skin
A craving that vibrates my bones
Like a fix, I chase the high of making

To come home to myself

Wild Wednesday magic. 🌱🌀✨️

I found myself in the creative flow once again today—DIY fashion has my heart lately!

I had these two clothing pieces I didn’t love. The short overalls were a cute idea, but after wearing them a couple times, I realized they just don’t really suit me. And the dress? Never wore it—shows too much back for my current bod. 🤣

But when I got rid of the parts that weren’t serving me and kept what felt good—followed what felt light and fun—it turned into something I adore.
Kind of feels like a metaphor for life. 🧡

Honestly, I just wanna frolic in a forest lately… and I’d totally do it in this. 😀🧚‍♀️

2023, we took a field trip to Belle Isle that was simply the worst. 🤣😬👀

I ran over a HUGE nail and got a flat tire on the way. I got lost - couldn't find Grant's class and looped around and around (since it's one way), eventually finding them but being super late to lunch. Later that night I was so in my feels I wanted to write about it. I remember writing the words "Maybe I'm just not a field trip mom." I remember this because before I could realize what was happening, Grant looked over my shoulder, read my words and said "What do you mean you're not a field trip mom?" I couldn't have felt worse.

Imagine my reaction when I heard we were going to Belle Isle again. 🤣 I was like dang I think I might have some trauma from the last time. Lol. But today I was reminded how perspective is everything! This wasn't going to be another field trip filled with mishaps. It was an opportunity to have a different experience. A corrective experience. And that we did.

I'm doing this "Dress Up Challenge" and I totally used styling to help me embody the energy I wanted to bring today! I wanted to be comfy and effortless. Soft and strong. Belle Isle would not get the best of me today. 🤣 I chose mauves and florals with contrasting army green and camo, finished with a gold hoop earring. It was actually really fun looking at my closet with fresh eyes and seeing what I could pair together that I normally wouldn't. I'm finding that taking just a liiiiitle more effort can totally change how you feel. And that makes you more magnetic. 🧲

I am a field trip mom. 😍

Magic Monday ✨️🪄🔮

Playing with creativity. 🪡🧵

Today I DIY'ed a sweet lil babydoll dress just for the fun of it. 💃 And also because I'm stepping into the version of me I want to be...playful, fun, funky, creative.

Took a crop top, cut up an old dress, sewed them together and boom - a new outfit was born. This kind of creative play gives me life lately! No rules, just curiosity, scissors, stitches.

There's something wildly satisfying about wearing something you made with your own hands and heart. 👐🧡

Here's to following the sparks, having fun, and making magic. 🍻

And Happy St. Patrick's Day! ☘️

The Wild One

There’s a wild one
inside of me.

Sometimes,
she’s tamed by the demands of society —
telling her who to be.

Responsible.
Appropriate.
College degree.
9 to 5.

Snoozefest — booo-rrring!

But look out
when the wild one breaks free.

She takes your hand
into dark lake waters,
naked—
smiling bright as the moon
under a sky exploding with stars.

Look out
when the wild one breaks free.

She jumps out of planes,
she rafts class five rapids,
she stays up all night
she dances with reckless abandon.

She doesn’t ask permission.
She doesn’t wait her turn.

When her heart's on fire
she lets it burn.

Who is your Wild One?
What does she want?
Will you set her free?

#inhabityourwild, come with me

The things we make — with our hands, our hearts, our creativity — have a kind of magic that's hard to translate into words.

I was daydreaming of making a skirt like this for weeks, but something wasn't quite right yet. The idea wasn't ready to be birthed. Until it was! I suddenly realized who it was for and I lit up - now it all made sense! This was for a very special little girl's 2nd birthday (HBD again Joey!). 🥰

This was pure joy. From the spark of an idea to the last stitch. Messy, wild, fun!

Magic Monday. 💫✨️🪄

My favorite day of the week. The day that's intentionally carved out for following my own rhythm. If I want to rest, I do. If I want to flit about, I do. 🧚‍♀️ I allow my energy to lead.

Today I woke up feeling LIT UP in the best way. I got so much accomplished, which felt amazing. But what brought me the most joy?

Creating.

🫐Making a blueberry banana baked oatmeal and having it warm out of the oven when Grant got home from school.
🧵Sewing a handmade gift and pouring so much love and energy into it (pics after it's received 😉).
📸Capturing the sweetest moment with G + Kobe (this happens pretty much never lol).

And I'm still feeling energized at midnight
Yikes. 🤣 See ya at 6 a.m. 😀

Good feels today!

Found this little heart shaped sticker walking Kobe and felt like the universe was romancing me. 😉❤️

Got to watch Grant light it up in both of his basketball games today — he was on fire! Right along with my heart. ❤️‍🔥

Not my typical read, but when I saw reviews that said things like "a message of kindness and love" and "heartwarming as hell," I knew this was exactly what I needed. I'm only about 1/4 of the way in but loving it so much!

"...and who knows what the future will bring? Change often starts with the smallest of whispers. Like-minded people building it up to a roar."

For a fleeting moment this morning, the sky pulled my eyes to a tender lavender glow. These little bits of magic never get old. ✨️💜

This evening I stopped in a resale shop I'd been wanting to check out, and realized it was their last night in business.The sun was setting on what was once someone's dream, and the words that she humbly said were about letting God lead.

The sign out front made me smile, as I boycott retail oligopaly and try on a new style. More resale. More small businesses. More community. More creating.

With that being said, if anyone has any bedsheets or curtains they want to part with that would make cute clothes, I'd love them. I'm going Sound of Music on you guys. 🤣💃

Creating has helped me feel a little lighter lately, in a world that feels very heavy. Sewing has been like a love letter to my aliveness. Stitch by stitch, I romance myself. I remember who I am.

These pants? They're creative expression. They're movement. They remind me I don't have to wait for circumstances to be perfect or life to feel magical - I can make it so. They remind me to keep going when I make mistakes or things get tough. The end result is worth it.

You were born to be free. Dance in your own design. Live your life fully. Feel fully alive.

Walked Kobe for the first time in days today! The sun was shining bright and the company with my friend and Grant was wonderful.

I walked in the door to THIS and I was giddy! I love it soooo much when the light hits just right and sparkles dance across surfaces.

Somehow it helps me feel fully alive and present and joyful. What is it that does that for you? Let's keep finding those things.

Wild Wednesday -
dreams of dancing barefoot in a forest,
visions of sewing pixie skirts from fabric scraps and bandanas,
waving a wand swooshing pixie dust magic

But I find myself in Starbucks,
sipping a honey citrus mint tea
feeling a little stuck
but realizing the wild is also in the in-between
the untamed part of me is still there -
brewing like a tea

Wild Wednesday lives inside me

a blanket of white,
snowflakes falling like confetti,
light and bright.
memory-making on Deadman's Hill
hearts flying free —
ahhh, what a thrill

(Yesterday)

Sometimes I find
romance in the sky.

I look up, and my
heart sparks,

my lips slowly part
into a smile.

Nature calls—
slow down, notice.
A love story in motion,
a poem unfolding.

Constant, yet always changing—
clouds shifting,
mood-making...
dark,
light,
comforting,
haunting.

The sky is a love story,
always there in all her glory,

whispering,
watch me,
stay awhile.

Creativity is my romance lately

Getting lost in thought in coffee shops
wandering among plants and flowers
spontaneous trips to JoAnn Fabric
running my hands over soft flannels and silky satins
flipping pages in pattern books
dreaming up my next look
messy stitches and rough edges

Writing poetry
knowing nothing
and sharing it without a second look

tbh I'm doing it all badly
doing it messy
and
finding so much joy in simply creating
following the sparks that ask to lead

Realizing maybe that's where the real magic is...
wandering
playing
trusting the process
and letting it unravel into something magical
and unexpected

To sit in a coffee shop alone is to flirt with yourself -
to savor time, and the quiet of just being.

I linger over a chai latte,
snapping photos of the boho warmth
The tangle of vines and wicker

A man sits nearby, lost in a book.

The space starts to fill and
the soft hum of conversation rises

I hear sadness, a whisper of heavy headlines.
In the next breath -
hopes and dreams from two college friends.

My latte is now gone
and I linger on hope.

Romance is letting yourself be swept away in a moment.

There's a kind of magic
in laying diagonal across the bed
on a faux fur blanket
music filling your ears -
a flashback to your teenage years.

Lyrics finding their place,
like a warm embrace,
and suddenly, a version of you
you thought you left behind
is still inside.

Here we go again! 😆 You guys are prob gonna laugh. Actually I hope you are - because I'm laughing with you. Welcome to what it's like to be a Gemini AND a Manifesting Generator (Human Design). 😆Change is the name of the game baby!

I've only had my current business name for … a little over a year? I've heard so many things to not do in the world of entrepreneurship, one of them being "don't change too often." That literally feels like death to me. What if part of the reason I'm here is to offer people permission to change?! Also - part of what I do is to help women break free from rules they never agreed to. So why would I follow any rule that doesn't align with the fabric of my being? Know the rules like a pro so you can break them like an artist.

While I really do love the name Bedrock Body, and will probably use it for a future program name (maybe even my signature coaching program), something new settled in my soul that felt even juicier.

INHABIT Healing.

Inhabit: To be present in or occupy in any manner or form.

We live in a culture of detachment and disconnection, and I don't believe it's our natural state - it's been designed this way. The way to heal is through the body. To be FULLY IN the body, fully in the spaces we occupy.

At one time, I shied away from the word healer/healing, but I'm just gonna fully own it now because I know that's what I help people with, and it's what's needed at this time. I can't solve all the world's problems, but I can continue to do my work in my small corner of the world, and that's what I plan to do.

While Bedrock Body acknowledges that the body is the foundation for healing, Inhabit is not only about being present in your body, but allowing healing to be a way of life. With Inhabit, there's a sense that healing is part of who you are - it's not something outside of you to be chased. It's settling into yourself. Sinking in. Soaking in every drop. Living a life that is drip down your chin good and messy. One where ALL parts of you are welcome. It's coming home to your body. Remembering who you are and what it means to feel safe, whole, and FULLY ALIVE.

We live in a culture of detachment and disconnection, and I don't believe it's our natural state - it's been designed this way. The way to heal is through the body. To be FULLY IN the body, fully in the spaces we occupy.

At one time, I shied away from the word healer/healing, but I'm just gonna fully own it now because I know that's what I help people with, and it's what's needed at this time. I can't solve all the world's problems, but I can continue to do my work in my small corner of the world, and that's what I plan to do.

While Bedrock Body acknowledges that the body is the foundation for healing, Inhabit is not only about being present in your body, but allowing healing to be a way of life. With Inhabit, there's a sense that healing is part of who you are - it's not something outside of you to be chased. It's settling into yourself. Sinking in. Soaking in every drop. Living a life that is drip down your chin good and messy. One where ALL parts of you are welcome. It's coming home to your body. Remembering who you are and what it means to feel safe, whole, and FULLY ALIVE.

In a world where up seems down and down seems up,
at least I can still trust in the magic
of an evening sky that blushes.

Romance spills across the horizon. Magenta. Soft. Strong. Unshaken.

Romance is really just the way you see the world. It's in the magic of small tender moments.

Romance is found in lost puppies and helping hands. In the moments we see a world where kindness is instinctual and we soften even if we must let our hearts break a little instead of look away.

The universe conspired to surprise me again today when I found the SWEETEST little puppy outside shaking and cold and scared. I was so grateful my neighbor stepped in to help and kept him safe and warm.

My heart swelled when she texted me that they planned to keep him until "when/if his owner is found." 🥰😍 This is love, and it's still all around if you look.

And the cherry on top today - my bestie delivered freshly baked chocolate caramel sea salt cookies to my door step! 🍪
