Friends, I'm so blessed to be taking a course with @joyprouty called Aperture of the Heart. The best thing about classes with Joy is that she's focused on the intention and creativity behind an image over technical perfection.⁠
⁠
This image is the first I created for the course, in which we sought out light. I took this as the last light of day was present in my bedroom. I feel it too.⁠
⁠
It feels like trying to find a moment of peace and comfort. It feels like going inward. It feels like hope for the future.⁠

Share time! Tell me how your family had fun together this week in the comments below!⁠
⁠
I LOVE to build forts in the living room with my nieces for reading, snacks and secrets.⁠
⁠
Tell me, how have you had fun this week?

Two weeks ago, I had an amazing opportunity to tea

Two weeks ago, I had an amazing opportunity to teach a group of people how to use their phones to take and edit better images.⁠
⁠
I partnered with @twincitiescollective and we held the event at the beautiful new Edina located co-working space, @curatedcompls .⁠
⁠
What I love most about teaching is the learning that comes with it. In order to give all the correct information, research was necessary (which can be so fun!).⁠
⁠
I'm thankful to all who attended, asked excellent questions and hopefully learned a ton. Thanks to @jennaredfield for partnering!⁠
⁠
I'm planning to bring you more education around phone photography so stay tuned!⁠

Because slo-mo ocean waves are exactly what we need right now…
.
After a nice long break from social media I’m back! Last week I was in Saint Lucia celebrating a friend’s marriage.
.
We (myself and a large group) flew out a day before the announcement to stay home. The island had only one confirmed case in quarantine before we arrived.
.
I felt very safe on the island and the resort took extra measures to clean, serve instead of allowing self-service, etc, and the week progressed beautifully.
.
The consensus from our group was to enjoy the time we had and self-quarantine when we returned home. While it was the talk of many conversations, we mostly kept it light and enjoyed the time.
.
Fast forward to returning home, it’s surreal. Being a week behind the rest of the world in knowledge and observation of these odd times, it’s often feels like a foreign country within my own community.
.
By nature, I’m not one to panic, so while I acknowledge and respect that others may feel this way, I do not. This, too, shall pass and life will go back to “normal” soon, I truly believe that, with hopes we are more grateful and connected.
.
The hardest part is uncertainty. Most people (myself included) like a clear path, a set of rules, an end in sight. Those simply don’t exist with this virus.
.
I choose to focus on what I can do for myself and others today instead of worrying about the answers no one knows.
.
So let’s take a collective deep breath, stay home, reconnect with each other, play Monopoly, do a puzzle, meditate, exercise, cook, ________________.
.
It’s a time to try the things you can’t seem to find the time to do. It’s also ok to rest, sleep, binge TV, eat snacks and do nothing. Make the most of the time by doing what feels right to you.
.
With that, I wish you good health and sound mind, friends. Cheers. (Virtually, of course.)
