Next surgery - June 30th 😅 this'll be much less invasive and mostly easier healing (my septum is deviated so badly my right nostril is almost fully blocked, but we were worried sinuses would have problems too and they're thankfully fine!). So taking advantage of already hitting my deductible for the year and getting it fixed. Still under a bunch of restrictiona for the hysterectomy...

This poem was previously published in Throats to the Sky Magazine several years ago.

Made a dress for my birthday yesterday :)

One of my best friends is a really talented musician and had a show last night which was a great way to celebrate. Such good energy.

Have 6-8+ weeks to full recovery so lots of books and sedentary activities for...

I’m excited and nervous. I know sales etc can be really hit or miss and since it’s my first time there as an artist I’m...

The vision: a group of 20 artists each paints a panel representing an area along the bike path that goes from St George Utah to Zion National Park. They held juried applications to select artists, and each panel came with a specific...
