1. I hosted a Bad Art networking event last month on behalf of and it was so silly and fun! It was a hilarious way to get together with folks and keep the artistic bar looooow. 🐓🐮

2. In preparation for the crafty fun, I hit up for inspo and a few fun supplies. I got a dozen of these cardstock frame mattes for everyone to have a starting place, and they worked out great!

Thank you for the lovely spa experience for our whole fam for Father's Day. (And thanks to the in-the-know massage pros who suggested it for family-friendly foot treatments!) It was such a lovely time, and wow, what a beautiful oasis of calm you've created.

My spring choir season is a wrap! This season's music was my favorite so far. I joined this choir a year ago to add music and ongoing nervous system regulation to my life. With the political chaos in our country, I was seeking as much grounding support as I could get.

I've found all that, plus a community of people who add laughter, kindness, and diverse life experiences to my orbit. Singing together, making mistakes together, and helping behind the scenes with setup/cleanup and social media this season, have helped to deepen my connections with folks here. And so, as an unexpected bonus, I've also found a sense of belonging as well. 🥰

Here's a photo of a sectional rehearsal earlier this spring, with our rockstar accompanist Howard. 😎

In our family, my Dad sings at celebrations, and my nephew's h.s. graduation this month held the tradition strong! 🥰

Over the years Dad has shared his gift of song at every big celebration I can think of - weddings, reunions, birthdays, graduations, and every Aloha Friday! 🎶
