While stuck at home in quarantine for over a month, one must find creative ways to escape and get inspired. For me, that means making my surroundings as beautiful and inspiring as possible.

Since my poetry book Les Belles Lettres has been published, I’ve been receiving many messages with questions about writing and publishing. I’m honored to be looked up to regarding these things, but I also find it funny that so many people would ask me these questions simply because I published a book. It’s even ironic because I didn’t know any of these answers either, and spent a whole year learning what I needed to know to accomplish my vision of publishing Les Belles Lettres. It led me on a whole journ ..read more

This night marked a time of metamorphosis for me. It was Full, Harvest Moon, Friday the 13th, a rare occurrence that won’t be happening again for another 30 years- Aug. 13, 2049. I felt more alive that week than I have in years, like I unleashed something in myself that was a crucial part of me, that I’d bottled up for too long… Lavender Skies & animal eyes Journal Entry - 9.13.2019 ..read more

It’s a rare thing to see me doing ballet these days. Here in this Parisian flat, one thing led to another and I started dancing. Josh encouraged me to dance for some photos, and then we captured it on video. It’s not often I get to be in a big open room like this one, 5 flights up above the busy streets and all the windows open to let the essence of my favorite city fill the air inside and inspire me. Jazz plays on the radio, and a little old lady watches me from her window across the way- she seems to en ..read more

There’s a certain magic that appears when the gardens of Versailles are completely empty at sunset. The silence, the open air, the astounding beauty of the aesthetics… it is truly a gift to be able to experience it. When the light hits the palace at the westward angle, turning everything to gold, one feels undoubtedly a part of something greater. Like a piece of art, as if you’re submerged into the very living canvas of a masterpiece painting. Sunset at Versailles ..read more

Here’s what a day at the Louvre looks like- wandering the many halls, lingering in the Sculpture Garden, and gazing at paintings until the sun goes down… if you’ve been before, you’ll know the massive size of the museum can be daunting. Some of the rooms contain small paintings, other halls have paintings the size of an elephant. One never knows what they may find around each corner, or whether they might have made a wrong turn and gotten lost. But is that really so bad? Here is a rather huge blog post de ..read more

Ever since I was a child I was fascinated with nature. I looked to it as an escape. Every little patch of wild that was still left between the developments in the suburbs, were my imaginary worlds- the places that called to me. In between school stress and bullies, I knew I would be safe as soon as I could get to my wild hideaways. And I always felt such a connection to the energy of the earth- I believed in it’s secret magic. Garden of Eden Those were the day ..read more
