This is so full of passion and compassion. What you do is wonderful. And I also love La Blogothèque. It's where I first discovered The Lumineers and now you gave me an idea to visit their site after so long! I am so happy to hear your heartbeat all the way here! 🤍

"When I ask myself why I write, why I endeavor to share the good, bad, and ugly, it’s because I don’t want anyone to feel alone. Alone with anxiety, alone with loss, alone with heartbreak, alone in celebration."

Well, you stole my heart with this one. I can't promise how much I'll make it hear with my crazy work schedule, but I can promise that when I do I'll bring my full self. Allow myself to be held and seen. And hopefully, subconsciously, give others permission to do the same ❤️

This all sounds wonderful! Looking forward to the chats and Artist interviews.

Grief is an odd little monster isn't it? I have been touched by distant deaths. Distance by miles and by connection. The first hit me harder than I thought it would and thank god for the gift of words and the ability to connect them and make them make sense and make them make sense of the chaos. Look forward to your changes and growth.
