I Like the Way We Mood

Hello friends, I made a short video tonight instead of writing ( because sewing won out) First: Iluminado has been open just over a week, and a beautiful review came out in Monterey County Weekly. The piece reflects what we hoped the installation would do — invite people into an experience that’s participatory, immersive, and quietly transformational. If you’re local, I hope you’ll take some time to experience it at the Monterey Museum of Art and let it meet you where you are. And if you’re looking for an excuse to visit Monterey Bay, this is a great one. Second: It's time to take the current collection public. I've added a few more styles to replace the ones that sold out, and will continue to replenish the shelves with new items for another week ( so keep checking back)
Now — the video ! In it, I talk about what the final stretch of Iluminado taught me: During the install, I stopped teaching and stopped moving. My body hardened. Perspective narrowed. Everything felt like failure — even when it wasn’t. It wasn’t until I started moving again that fluidity returned… along with laughter, emotional range, and clarity. That experience underscored something I keep learning over and over: As we head into the holidays — with all their intensity, tenderness, and complexity — I hope you’ll give your body the attention it needs. Not to perfect it or manage it, but simply to keep it soft enough to feel, to respond honestly, and to receive what’s actually here. Thank you for being with me — whether you found me through movement, art, clothing, or the strange overlap of all three. It’s all part of the same inquiry: learning how to love being human. With warmth, Was this email forwarded to you? |

It's Cathartic to Tell the Truth “ Your party sounds amazing. I wish I could attend but I’m overwhelmed with my life right now and don’t think I’d be a very good guest in my current state” ( instead of replying “ Yes” to an invite and then trying to find ways to squirm out of it) Saying “ I’m sorry I was an A$$shole” instead of investing hours in an explanation that tries to justify unacceptable behavior. And one of my very favorites “ I’m sorry it took me so long to reply to your email. I...

The artist returns. ✦ Breathe, Balance, Body.Podcast with Angela Tait → When I think of true elders, one word rises up: Serenity. Not the absence of emotion, but the wisdom to pause. To regroup. To respond with restraint instead of reaction. That kind of presence isn’t born overnight — it’s forged through experience, risk, and trust in the unknown. The Leap In July, I gave myself permission to pause. To release this...
Some of our greatest strengths are also our most persistent saboteurs. Excitement and anxiety ride the same current. Care becomes control. And for me—being true to my word can sometimes harden into a dogged rigidity, an insistence on honoring commitments even when the circumstances have clearly shifted. Reader ,maybe you've felt that too. That’s the shadow side of commitment—and this moment craves more light. I started this newsletter in 2016, sending out enthusiastic emails on breathwork and...
