Last week, I was exhausted and giving myself permission to rest. This week, I bought domain names, created a brand identity, built a website, and started an entirely new creative project. Because apparently I cannot simply enjoy golf like a normal person. I have to give it a color palette.

This week on Love Monday, we're talking about the beautifully chaotic brains of scanners and multipassionate women, why every creative spark doesn't need to become a business, and how I've traded boxes of wine for domain names. Both questionable investments, but one comes with considerably less regret.

A little permission slip to follow your curiosity, make things just because you love making them, and stop apologizing for having approximately 47 interests.

This week, a soggy Thanksgiving cactus reminded me of something I am historically terrible at: leaving things alone. I like fixing, planning, Googling, strategizing and generally supervising the unfolding of absolutely everything. But not every problem needs another intervention. Sometimes you've done what you can do, and the next move is to give it some time, light and breathing room. Also: water softener drama, disgusting hair and a rainbow over Storybook Hill. Just another Monday. ❤️

What if wanting things to feel beautiful isn’t frivolous at all?

This week on Love Monday, I’m talking about my compulsive need to rearrange the furniture, my very Libra relationship with beauty, and why the spaces we live and work in affect how we show up in them. Plus, a homecoming moment on the staircase reminded me that while there are times to rearrange what isn’t working, there are also times to stop moving everything around long enough to realize you’re already standing inside something beautiful.

Maybe you don’t need a whole new room.

Maybe you just need to notice how much you like this one.
