Wow. Just Wow. Just when you think it can’t get any weirder. Or more gut wrenching. Or more galvanizing. After 2 months of not walking due to an injury & now down deep in my bed with Covid, I am taking a moment to assess what made me feel good/inspired/fed this year & I thought you might like to be in my world for a little bit on these dark holy days. It couldn’t get more unbelievable or sci-fi & we need to stick together. I am sending this out to EVERYONE on my list, the naughty & the nice, the paid & the free. I just love you that much 💞 Happy Solstice. The light is here.
HERE IS MY VERY FAVORITE : Newsletters, podcasts, books, songs, movies & more! The things at the top of my list, when I am alone & swirling in the dark in my love artist universe.
More coming tomorrow . . . & please add anything I might need to know about in the comments below.
