Dear love, what would you have me do?

That's been really beautiful.

So yeah, I spend about an hour in the morning doing my meditation and my journal and my, my writing.

Sometimes I draw in my journals too.

And I also pull Oracle cards and then I have some favorite Oracle decks and I have my tea on my patio and listen to the birds sing.

So yeah,

Besides that, though, I don't really have any.

Yeah.

So as an artist and a collector and someone who likes to surround myself with beauty, I

I love stuff and I love beautiful stuff and I love finding treasures.

It's a real joy for me.

It's the tingle, you know, finding something really beautiful that speaks to you and calls to you.

For me, it is akin to going to a museum or going to visit somebody's art studio or something like that and taking something from that experience and bringing it home for me makes my home be the story of my life.

And...

I love that feeling.

And I love experiencing that, not just with myself, but with others.

Like I was recently at the Frida Kahlo Museum in Mexico City, where it's her home.

And just walking through...

Frida Kahlo's home and seeing where she cooked and seeing all the beautiful pots and pans and just imagining her life and the care that she took to choose out all these things and what they say about her and looking at her books and looking at her paints and her paintbrushes and her wheelchair in front of her easel and the bed with the mirror you know it's just like just seeing her home

as an extension of who she is and being to understand so much more about her and her life and the beauty that she brought to the world through that experience was so meaningful to me.
