"What do you do?" This is what I feel like when I am asked that question. I am many things. We all are. But it often feels like we are all trying to cram all of those things into a box, figure out an elevator pitch, come up with a tagline that fits well on a business card. Why is that? Culturally we like definitions. But the good stuff is in the chaotic mess of creativity, not in the clean, definitive version of ourselves that we often get stuck projecting into the world. It's the process, not the end product that counts. Life isn't a list of goals and successes to checkoff, it's a continuous series of experiences, some wonderful, some horrendous, and the rest of them, somewhere in between. So if you don't feel like you fit into a box, that's ok. Embrace it.

@zarialynn’s stunning work even larger than usual, bringing a glacier to life on the side of a building for @mountainfilm. If you don’t know her work already, you should because it’s stunning. #mfilm18 #publicart #womenartists
Tried and true formula for excellent coffee drinking experience: swap avocado toast menu for early morning birdsong, and swap white tiles and exposed brick for frost covered grass. (Then add a little @olympiacoffee Gitwe Honey from @longmilescoffee for good measure.) #coffeeoutside
Big landscape, tiny cyclists.
It’s Friday. Hug a friend. Extend the branches of love and happiness. #hugtrees

Hopefully there’s a piece of gingerbread and a warm glass of Glögg in your future.
