The world appears to be falling apart. Or imploding. Or both and I’m scared and angry and frustrated at how helpless it makes me feel. Domestically, the word “Charlottesville” will sum up a national outrage for years to come. Internationally, Korea, Barcelona, Sierra Leone are top of the harrowing news. I don’t know what to do. So I keep going going with the small parts of my life where I do know what to do. Bringing a tiny slice of joy into someone’s life through art or an unexpected kindness through snail mail or….there are so many different “ors” for all of us.

I’m not born a political crusader, I shy away from conflict but the climate right now is so heated, so tender and raw, I can’t write without acknowledging it. And still, after mulling over this post with fingers pausing on the keyboard, I still don’t know what to do so until I do I’m going to go deeper and stronger into the creativity I do know.

I know how to capture little moments that make life sweeter. Like cherry tomatoes from the local farmer’s market. Or writing thank you notes. Baking treats and sharing. Picking fresh flowers. Running my small business with huge heart and attention to details and loving the real live kind folks who order from me. I know how to appreciate what I have and be grateful.

Today, cherry tomatoes. xo
