Choosing joy sometimes calmly. Sometimes loudly. Always on purpose. Pushing back against what drains us.
Spending the cold weekend conceptualizing a mixed media art project to celebrate our resilience in these dark times. I refuse to let my spirit be broken. ¡Seguirá bailando y creando!

I should feel lucky I married a man who allows to be and do whatever I please. Not a mistake and 100% by my design. #exerciseyourfreedom

Your Brain on Art, a great read for those wondering why some are obsessed with it both as creator and observer.

Being angry in a moment doesn’t cancel happiness. Staying happy anyway? That’s resilience.

Calm during crisis isn’t indifference. It’s a regulated nervous system doing its job.

Five minutes of meditation every morning. The bar is low on purpose that’s why it works. LOL Good morning!

Seven hours of sleep.
A small rebellion against exhaustion.
I’ll take the win.

After spending years trying to out-discipline exhaustion, it turns out being still was the real practice. #meditation

Nothing sweeter than having the night to ourselves we night owls. But getting to bed early-ish before midnight & waking up in a good mood a close second! #intentional #selfcare
