Beyond that, my next book of creative non-fiction, The Book of Little Things, is in the midst of being written, and I’m so excited to tell you more about that when the time is right. It will be officially released in March 2023. The designs we trail into being the altars we sit at the path of laughter along the way.Īt the moment, I am bringing to life a picture book I’ve written called Treasure Chest of Kisses: I Am Made of Love. I’m interested in the work of art of a life we may create with each movement and step we take, how we take it, with what intention–and how quickly we return to center to dance well after a misstep–and how willingly we allow ourselves to burn in the fires, the initiations, the trials of life.

I’m interested in intimacy–with life, with our children, with each other. I’m interested in the subtle artistry of life: the shapes we create, the poetry, magic and mysticism that daily life is coursing with.

We are all, at our cores, innocent children of the Universe, and it is a joy to create works that are somehow devoted to reorienting us back to this place of purity and love. Becoming a mother added a new dimension to my experience of life, my perspective, and the work I do with others. To simply be alive and experience this wild and free-wheeling ride of being human is the greatest gift. I am a mother, writer/artist, lover/student of life, and author of A Ceremony Called Life (Sounds True, 2016) and forthcoming picture book, Treasure Chest of Kisses (Henrietta, March 2023).
