7. You can’t get rid of fear, but do remember that fear is boring.
8. If something is authentic enough, it will feel original.
9. If you’re in the arts, you don’t need graduate school.

11. Curiosity is the truth and the way of creative living.

This Sunday, Deb, Keri, and I look forward to being present to hold space for our children and youth.

Lee and I have plans in the works for having a bonfire with the youth this month. Please keep an eye on your email for details.
