balancing joy with grief and everything in between is life.

last week came with highs and lows. and while most weeks (okay, every week) are a mixture of both, for me, the impact of last week's celebrations and trauma has weighed on me like a ton of bricks.

a few of the things that got me out of a funk last week:

shane o'neill// the day hell fell through the roof on my second home, my husband was having beautiful work done as a tribute to our awesome little man the day before his 3rd birthday. as partners, we balanced grief and joy in the same day.

rich as kings// anna's photography is stunning and there's something visually calming about her blog.

the capsule show// thank you to my dear friend anna (pronounced ah-na, different than anna of rich as kings) for seeing that i'm craving some inspiration. i'll be taking a day trip to the city to hang here this month.

forge & finish// i participated in a pop-up shop at one of my favorite yoga studios. one of the vendors was this awesome jewelry collective that's just right up the street from our house. i see a studio tour in my near future.

my team [aka a second family]// i am so grateful for the people i lead (and those who lead me) on a daily basis. our week rocked us, hard. and we are so strong because of it.
