Friends! I’m launching a podcast with a dear friend of mine, and you won’t want to miss it. Starting next week, we’ll be chatting about the music we love through the lens of decades of pro music experience.

The kittens’ mama is still with the friends who fostered them, so I sent her a Mother’s Day text from them 😹

Just saw your post on Threads, and it looked fine. Temp glitch, maybe?

Real convo with @ericsnowden.bsky.social: “Wait, do we follow each other on BlueSky? We must follow each other. I haven’t seen you post- huh.” (So I figured I would send a kitten photo just for funsies)

I just buttoned up my reflection on the past year. This past holiday season in particular was just... busy... and so I'm finally surfacing a bit for air. I'm slowly starting to surface for air and am looking to be more rested when I return to work next week!

7 life lessons from 2024 Take the time to sit in grief. We’re in a majority culture that wants to rush past grief, to live in a place of continual sunshine and rainbows, which made it all the more countercultural to give myself not only the permission to grieve, but to sit in that grief and feel it in its entirety. Be present during times of crisis. As someone who likes to plan ahead, I had to force myself to slow down and deal with what was in front of me instead of spiraling to address all of the other options. Prepare ahead of time for the things you know are coming. Rest and boundaries were two areas that I paid special attention to, as well as planning ahead.
