It’s not always pompoms and pep talks. Sometimes, being a true cheerleader means holding space for someone’s pain without rushing to fix it. 

Every time I step out of the house I find more opportunities to share my art. There can never be enough kindness to go around.

Cowlick: a lock of hair that grows in a direction different from the rest and that resists being combed flat.

AI can never create or think in the same way humans do. But there’s a lot it can be used for to optimize efficiency.

The non-AI kind of writing in my car while waiting for my pup’s grooming session.

Art isn’t about an outcome. If it ends up becoming something, that’s a bonus.

Making double-sided mixed media tokens during a co-working session

Sometimes the best creative experiences aren't about what you make. They're about how it feels to make it together.

On June 11 at 7pm, join us to celebrate the newest issue of Yellow Arrow Journal, UNFURL, in a virtual reading event!

This is just a soft announcement that something thoughtful is underway.

What’s the real worth of emotional labor, creative work, and invisible caregiving? 

A quiet conversation with a stranger reminded me that true connection isn’t built on metrics—but on presence and shared humanity.

Join me on June 7 with a single sheet of paper—and the courage to see where it might take you.

The tokens are not in response to anything…they are not in lieu of a tip…they are to let a person know they’re appreciated and valued.

As I shift into this season of ponderance and presence, I feel a greater pull toward language—toward the catharsis that only words can offer.

An ode to my fur baby

I made a different kind of business card. It’s in the form of a zine.

Back in 2004, we used to work out at his office gym. Three times a week, sometimes four.

We’re all living in different climates of shame and striving.

I’m honored to share that a deeply personal essay of mine has found a home in UNFURL, Yellow Arrow Journal.
