Talking to my therapist this week, we talked a lot about me two years ago versus me now. My ability to navigate turbulence and trouble these days is far better than before.

Instead, here we are paying health care premiums, buying basic goods for far more than we can afford, and seeing fellow humans homeless on the corner. Someone called the animal rescue I volun

So, the store I sold art in is closing effective May 10th 2026. Last year I was so proud of myself for getting into a shop. I have rotated stock with the seasons, managed my inventory, and created pieces that were coastal for the tourists. The store owner is moving to Florida and so I am back to doing this on my own.
