I thank you all for joining me in my Studio and allowing me to keep it real.  Life is not always easy and sometimes your wings get bruised, clipped or battered but it is all about getting back up. I am so thankful for the push to keep the memory of my friend alive and well in my heart as I created this evening with you all.  Lots of fun and exciting things to thrilled about and you get to see it unfold on Mondays!

Life is not about maintaining the status quo.  Life is not about playing it safe every second.  Life is not about standing still and wallowing in self-doubt.  It’s about connecting with your soul, respecting your integrity, and telling yourself that you’re able.  It’s about taking a few steps, regardless of how hard and small they may be, so you can move forward and evolve. “
