There She Goes: Turn Your Face Up To The Trees

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

On the road again!  I am off on another road trip, along with my partner (James) and our pup (Buckwheat).  This time we are heading from the East Coast back to Denver, to settle back into our Colorado life!  It was so wonderful to spend a few weeks at home and I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to be mobile during this time.  We took extra precautions when traveling to stay safe, and I’m now looking forward to some time staying put in one place for a little while.

As always, I’m excited to share all of the good-feeling things in this newsletter with you today. Enjoy & have a stellar week!
