WHY NOT? JOURNALING WITH THE ARTIST'S WAY...

click here for a free pdf link! (not spam we promise) we're trying this out starting today while drinking this...

'...the book is a program designed to help readers reject the devils of self-doubt on their shoulders and pursue creative activity not as a profession but as a form of therapy...She urges readers to find their inner naysayers, name them, and then learn how to dismiss them as though they’re nothing but annoying neighbors. (Hypnotists employ similar techniques.)' - The New Yorker

GOODBYE 2020

Farewell to a tough and strange year. This year made me rethink everything - from where to live to whether to continue HOPP. And if so, what continuing this business really means and looks like in this seemingly new world. And of course that ever-nagging question of do we really need to make “more stuff”? I’m still wondering. And rethinking. What I do know is I hope for better clarity in 2021. Thank you to everyone for the (much-needed) continued support and love. 💛
