Hi, I'm back!
For now.
Hello creators, it’s been a while! I’ve been MIA for over a month now and a part of me wants to apologize and another part is content because, damn, I needed a break.
Truthfully, I have been so full lately; filling my time with work, applying to graduate school (I’m officially in!), teaching classes in-person and online, immersing myself in community, and spending time with people I love.
Ya know, living life to the fullest—highly recommend.
What I'm Listening To
I’ve also been in deep contemplation mode about where this Substack publication is going. If you haven’t heard, I’m pursuing art therapy and beginning my graduate studies towards license and certification starting in January. I’ve never been so sure about something in my life. This is the path I am meant to go down and I want to share that journey with you!
For now, here’s my Halloween costume that was originally supposed to be Medusa (my spray painted snakes did not dry in time *sad*) and transformed into a siren, and then I thought, it’s actually more of a banshee.
She is a mystery, like feminine nature.
She is badass.
She is magnetic.
She is enraged.
She is in lust.
Happy Halloween, spooky creators. 👻
