#TBT to a @thrillingadv shoot... and flash forward to this weekend, when our whole troupe will be performing at @sf_sketchfest!! Click their bio for tickets to come see me and the gang do spooky voices, sing and serve up some excellent schmacting. Probably. ALSO, because our venue is AMAZING, I will be doing such things as hosting a karaoke night, reading tarot, and playing poker — none of which are my strong suits and should therefore be thoroughly entertaining!!! 💖🤩💖I can’t freakin wait!!! #playtime #entertainment #allthebestpeople #comeseeus #SanFrancisco #thrillingadventure @busyphilipps @pagetpagetgram @annie_savage @thejvclub @ardenmyrin @jeanniegrigio @carlacackowski @ccackowski @hallublin @johnrossbowie @joshmalinasjoshmalina @markgags @marcevanjackson @pftompkins @bnacker @bablacker @jondinerstein @rhettmiller @therealadamsavage

“We’re all just walking each other home.” — One of my favorite quotes and the one that led me to Ram Dass as one of my great spiritual teachers. This is what I love about aligning with Spirit: going where you feel the love, leaning into the light. His writing and essence has been calling more and more to me over the past couple of years, even in dreams, so much that I felt drawn to be a part of a @loveserveremember retreat in Ojai this year. It was Halloween and Ram Dass appeared wearing a rabbit mask and when questioned about it he reminded us “Every day is Halloween.” These bodies we wear only temporarily, but our Soul, Oneness, the God Source is eternal and infinite. We sat in meditation with him and the mantra he chanted with/for us all was “I am Loving Awareness” which I invite you to practice yourself this week. It’s a good one, just like him. #thankyou #lovingramdass #babaramdass #RIP 🙏🏼

Towed this absolutely adorable @airstream.nest to a beach campsite to get some outdoor time with my boys and my people. Too often this time of year can become all about the “doing,” so I find it becomes extra important to take time for the “being.” Being in nature, being with family, being present while you’re driving or working or shopping. That’s a gift we can give to ourselves every single day, not just of the holiday season, but year round. And we’re simultaneously gifting the people around us, because when we’re conscious, we’re not projecting our stress and overwhelm our into the world and onto the people we’re interacting with. We can show up as a fully present version of ourselves: open, compassionate, available for connection. Share with me any special ways you stay grounded during this season!! . #airstream #camping #nature #californiachristmas #getoutside

Now We Are Six . . . “When I was one, I had just begun. When I was two, I was nearly new. When I was three, I was hardly me. When I was four, I was not much more. When I was five, I was just alive. But now I am six, I'm as clever as clever. So I think I'll be six now for ever and ever.” — A.A. Milne Happy, happy 6th birthday to my tiny wildcat, my fierce protector, my spark of life, my warrior of earth. You have surprised me from the moment you dreamed yourself into existence and I cannot fathom a more perfect expression of life, than what transmits authentically through YOU. Thank you for choosing me. 💖 Happy Birthday, nugget.

🌲 The boys and I are featured on the cover of @greenchildmag’s holiday issue!! The editors approached me to share my passion for getting my kids out into natural spaces as often as possible and to talk a bit about the journey I’ve taken to return back home to myself. Thank you to @paulvonrieter for taking the beautiful photos of my family; you have a magic gift for being able to photograph children who never stop moving!! I put the link in my bio where you can see & read more — here’s a quote from the article: “I think our children absorb the way we do life. That became abundantly clear to me after I had my first child, and I embarked on an unintentional personal mission to change the way I show up in the world, so that I can live the values I wanted to teach my children...All of these changes allowed me to rediscover the deep love for nature I had as a child and I am so grateful to myself for being brave enough to being that girl back to life because now she gets to give that same gift to these two beautiful boys.” 🌲 🌲 🌲

💕 ''If you are aware that no one else can make you happy, and that happiness is the result of love coming out of you, this becomes the greatest mastery of the Toltecs, the Mastery of Love.... Love in action can only produce happiness. Fear in action can only produce suffering... The only way to master love is to practice love. You don't need to justify your love, you don't need to explain your love; you just need to practice your love. Practice creates the master.'' ― Don Miguel Ruiz, from ‘The Mastery of Love’💕

I’ve returned from the wilderness. The hike was glorious. The weather was perfect. The people were kind and funny and inspiring. We climbed Mt. Eddy and backpacked 20+ miles on the PCT with everything we needed on our backs. I channeled my inner @cherylstrayed and the journey was both an affirmation and a “coming home.” More pictures to follow, but more importantly — I can’t wait until the next one:) . . @rei #pct #backpacking #getoutside #campcalifornia #outdoorlife #wilderness #wild #california #naturegirl #adventure

#FBF to my parents backpacking California in the 1970s!! I won’t be live-tweeting my film this weekend, as I’ll be hitting the Pacific Crest Trail for some off-grid backpacking — following, quite literally, in my parents’ footsteps. My family’s legacy is a deep love of the outdoors and environmental conservation and I am deeply grateful to be taking this journey. Donate to @castateparks (or any other nature preservation organization calling to you!!) if you’re equally moved to keep open space protected and available for all to enjoy :) See you on the other side.

A big HELL YES to all of this, @lisaoliveratherapy!! What a weird and wonderful journey it is to be human. Thank you for helping all of us feel less alone. ・・・ #repost: “May our growth be an offering to ourselves instead of a hustling towards feeling like we're enough. May our expansion be an honoring of who we are instead of a striving towards feeling like we're enough. May our pursuit of goals/dreams/apsirations be a way of seeing our own possibilities instead of working towards feeling like we're enough. May our transformation be in service of letting who we truly are come alive instead of a way of proving we're enough. May our achievements be markers of joy instead of markers of being more enough. May we always be a work in progress, open to newness and shifts and learning and unlearning and growing, and at the VERY SAME TIME, may we remember that at our core, we are always completely enough, just as we are. ✌🏻”

A letter to myself, 20 years ago (and to anyone else who needs it today): I see your fragile heart. I see your uncertainty. Your frantic searching for a shore to drop anchor on. Sweetheart. You were meant to sail free. Raise that anchor. Feel the wind, find the light, and look upwards to the stars. For it’s only when you’ve freed your heart from the prison of your own expectations that you will finally find the security you long for.

Here’s what I’m contemplating this morning: most of us wake up and immediately “connect.” Connect with instagram, with anyone’s who’ve texted or sent an email in the previous few hours. But how many of us wake up and *connect* with ourselves first? With Spirit? With our gratitude and with our intentions for how we want to show up in the world that day? Today, let’s shift how we approach “connection” in the mornings. Expand the definition to include yourself and your higher power / creative muse / Source. And then let me know how it shifts the experiences you encounter throughout your day... ☕️☀️💖

Still saying goodbye to this beautiful experience. One of the things I find so interesting is that people have questions and worry and wonder about how actors learn all our lines. Here’s my process: I don’t learn them. I learn my character’s emotional journey and then the lines exist because they have to and I say them because I need to. The situation the writer creates for my character gives rise to the thoughts which give rise to the emotion which gives rise to what I need to say. Or not say. There are many lines in a play that aren’t on the page and that you’ll never hear, but they’re just as real to me as the words you do hear. I really love getting immersed in this process of discovery, it always feels like a grand adventure to me. And I miss being on stage with these talented and generous actors already. What a gift this show was in my life!! . . #TooMuchSun @odysseytheatre @blanglitz @joegillette @bailedout @andrewcarlberg #theater #grateful

I’m still enjoying every second I have left to explore this beautiful play. Two more weekends. Thank you, LA Beat, for this lovely review — “Autumn Reeser as daughter Kitty is masterful as the character around and upon whom most everything happens. She appears with such realness you find yourself wanting to turn your head away for fear of intruding on someone’s personal moments. This in turn makes her the perfect representation for what for me was the heart of play – the difficulty that accompanies building friendships, relationships, even lives with people who don’t know that they don’t know themselves.” ☀️ Only two weekends left!! We will sell out so get your tickets now- link in bio.

Recent hikes with dogs and humans I love, in a park I love, in a city I love. Every time I see any significant swath of green space in a big city, I feel so grateful that someone stood up for nature. That somebody fought for that piece of green to exist in a city where land is so expensive that developers want to build on every square inch of it to maximize their profit. Open space is so important. We’re part of Nature, not at war with it, not here to take advantage of it. The earth holds us and we are invited to hold her high in return; relationships require reciprocity, an exchange, a mutuality. It’s not about the bottom line, it’s about quality of life and showing respect to this magnificent planet who provides us with a home and asks nothing in return. . . . #earthday #getoutside #losangeles #hiking #spring #friendship #dogsofinstagram

I 💖 my sister. I love her writing. I love the thoughtfulness she puts into taking care of her people.

A perfect reminder for when we’re feeling too busy and unfulfilled. Current need: spend some quiet time with Spirit — and then spring-clean my schedule. 💕 • #Repost @heyamberrae ・・・⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here are a few questions I ask to check-in and realign: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔸 How often am I saying “yes” when I really want to say “no”? Why? 🔸 What needs am I meeting by saying yes? What needs am I *not* meeting? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔸 How much of my energy is directed toward things that feel like a burden or obligation? How can I make them feel like less of a burden and/or how I can do them less? 🔸 In terms of where I’m investing my time right now, what brings me the most fulfillment and joy? How can I do more of that? 🔸 What can I say “no” to right now so I can say “yes” to what matters even more? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As I like to remember: How I spend my time is how I spend my life. Invest wisely. 🙏🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Art collab with @melanieisspicy

“People try to do all sorts of clever and difficult things to improve life instead of doing the simplest, easiest thing — refusing to participate in activities that make life bad.” - Leo Tolstoy A short list of things that make life bad: gossiping, judging others (and therefore yourself, the two are inextricable!!), withholding your love or energy or praise, having imaginary conversations in your head about what you *wish* you had said or done, saying mean things to yourself in your mind, saying mean things to other people out in the world. A short list of things that make life good: smiling at a stranger, being truly seen by a friend, moving your body with joy and purpose, having a short cry to cleanse your mind, closing your eyes to say hello to God/Spirit/Soul, connecting to nature, practicing gratitude, overcoming a desire to judge, being brave enough to try something new, choosing love 💕 . . . 📸: @violetartistry

Downtime with my favorite people... ♥️ Finn lost one of his front teeth recently, and while I’m not a particularly nostalgic parent, I suddenly remembered that tooth when it first arrived... Saying goodbye to his tiny smile in favor of a soon-to-be grown-up one was harder than I expected!!!! 😢 But getting to know these two creative souls as they grow along their journeys continues to be one of the most beautiful experiences of this lifetime. . . @dashiellford @finneusjames #boymom #creativekids @tomreeser #weekending #losangeles

Hi:) I haven’t been on Instagram much, because the amazing thing about prepping a play is how quickly an entire day can disappear inside a dark theater and how much you can grow in those slices of disappeared time. It’s opening night (link in bio). The process has been joyful and hard and confrontational and humbling. It’s challenged me to connect — to my cast, to a story, to a character, to an audience, to myself. I feel certain that this show has come into my life for a reason and I keep reminding myself to focus on the journey and stay present for whatever it’s meant to reveal to me. All that to say: it feels damn good to be back onstage. :) . . 📸 by Jeff Lorch #toomuchsun @odysseytheatre #losangeles #latheatre #nickysilver #comedy #drama #theatre

We need to get silent. We need to stop listening to the shoulds and start listening to that small, quiet, insistent beating of our hearts that says “I must.” This is what @janelle_marra and I talked about on our walk this morning. This is what the past few years seem to be teaching me on repeat. I want us all to look back on our lives and feel proud that we had the courage to expand into every inch of ourselves that beckoned us, as mysterious as those whispers sometimes seem... We can all take tiny steps, every day, on the path that will eventually lead us home. . Rumi: “Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.” 💕 📸 : @violetartistry . #fullmoonvibes #gratitude #findyourpath #home #losangeles #iloveLA #faith #trust #deepthoughts 💋

It’s never too late to learn something new, even (and especially) if it scares you!!

Over the weekend, I helped launch @seldaandderek’s fresh new musical ‘Modern’ after only a week of intense night rehearsals. I could not be more proud of our hard-working cast -- we threw new scenes and songs at them all the way up to showtime!! BADASS.💥I love the actors so much for their bravery and willingness to trust me, and I think these writers have something very special on their hands!! Simultaneously I’ve begun daytime rehearsals for a play that will open next month.

Snow crew! ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ It takes effort to stay connected while also managing the frenetic pace of raising young kids, career, LIFE. This is one of Finn’s best friends from preschool and even though they hadn’t seen each other in a year, they embraced and fell right back into the easy rhythm they’ve always had together. It’s that way, isn’t it, when you find your people? The time between visits falls away as your hearts immediately link back into a happy alignment and you just enjoy one another again... I hope these two stay friends forever.

A lakeside picnic and walk with one of my besties. Discussed in our chat: “It’s creating space where you can do the actions without getting trapped in being the actor. Just like your heart is beating — but you’re not beating your heart.” - Baba Ram Dass For me, this quote bridges spirituality and acting in a way I find very beautiful. Although it refers to the roles we play in life and how meditation supports us, for me it also alludes to the sweet spot I aim to find when creating a character. The journey is always expanding... #echopark #iloveLA #losangeles @briana.lane #actorlife #art #friendship

See ya 2018, and hellooooo 2019! Thank you, each and every one of you, for your support and for being part of this little community. I read all your comments and your words of love are felt, received and appreciated!! While we’re looking back over this last crazy year, let’s turn not only to what happened and what we’ve tangibly accomplished, let’s also ask what did we feel, what experiences hold space in our hearts? What moments will your soul carry as those where you experienced great joy, great love, even great sadness? Those can be the places we find the deepest growth or a new truth, those are the moments we play again and again in the little slideshow in our minds. What about being human do YOU want to experience in this new year? I want more afternoons at the beach with my friends, laughing so hard our sides hurt. I want to gaze upwards under more full moons, in awe of being a small part of the mystery. I want to feel hesitant so I can be brave, I want to dance with abandon and love with my whole soul. I want even more of these sacred moments where I feel truly alive. . . . 📸:

Hands down, the best part of the morning adventures (aside from our snazzy coordinated holiday socks) was the treasure hunt my parents pulled together for the boys! There were clues on scrolls, a proper pirate map, and the whole thing culminated in the kids literally using shovels to dig up treasures buried under chalk X’s in the backyard. I mean... my parents are freakin’ superheroes!!! I’m so grateful they help make my boys’ childhoods magical, memorable, special and full of whimsy. Thanks, Nana & Poppy. 😘

So much beauty in a Christmas morning. So many memories, old and new, layered and blended and lost and found. My boys were with me for the holiday this year, which was gloriously sweet and made it feel precious and fleeting. My 91-year old grandmother was with us, which felt delicate, the experience held so briefly in the palm of a hand. There were snowman marshmallows, a tiny Christmas village I remember from my own childhood, lovely little presents that the boys will forget in only a few weeks, a FaceTime too-quick conversation with far-away relatives who were missed today, thoughts of everyone who can’t be with their people today for all the difficult and heart-breaking reasons, family dynamics, sugar cookies, chaos, love, confusion and at the end of the day, a deep breath of gratitude for the tiny slice of just being human together that today allowed us. Merry Christmas.❤️🥂✨

Every single person involved made the effort to show up in positivity and gave their best daily though some challenging conditions. —- Also, working in Canada and running into both the cast and the production team of a movie I shot in Mexico this past spring proved to me how much of a global industry we have truly become. 🤣 It also reconfirmed that Sutton Place continues to function as the Hollywood of the north and I was pretty excited about all the people I ran into in the elevator (you know who you are! Or maybe some of you don’t, bc you had no clue who I was BUT I was real excited to see YOU ...and therefore said nothing. 😬) We all rely on each other, we all belong to one another.

I believe that being a good parent is about being willing to see our children, as they truly are, and help them become the brightest, most expanded version of that energy that they can possibly embody. It’s about learning to deal with our own emotions and stress level in a healthy way, so we can model those life skills for the little people around us. That’s hard work!! I fail, I succeed, I fail again, but the important thing is the trying. There’s the trying, there’s the apologizing, there’s the starting anew. I want my children to see all the parts of this process, to let them see me mess up and let them see me take responsibility for my words or actions, and then let them see me return to joy and love with them again and again. Our willingness to be human gives our children permission to do the same. 💕 Go love your people fiercely this weekend!!! 😘 . 📸: @thedarlenephotography #parenting #california #holiday #kids #raisingboys #beachphotography #iloveCA

The Sorceress of Samhain and her creatures of the night / death / the moon / Scorpio / transformation. I love this time of year... The transition to shorter days gives us an opportunity to go inward, toward the dark, to reflect, to cast off what no longer serves and make close friends with our shadow so we can transform darkness into light with the coming of spring. . . (Side note, Dash is a Rainbow Ninja Skeleton, as per his request, which basically encapsulates everything and may be my favorite costume of all time...) . #halloween #celtic #paganrites #life #death #rebirth #skeleton #fall #rainbowninjaskeleton #lightwarrior #darkgoddess #samhain #pagan #gowithin #october #november @mabelslabels

“Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.” - Voltaire . Did some dancing yesterday, doing some reading today... I keep buying books and not making the time to read them. (Notice how I didn’t say I don’t HAVE time. We have to ask for and CREATE the space for the things we want to experience in our lives!) I make it through audiobooks quickly, but my stack of hard copies just keeps growing... Fall goals: sit down on my couch and read these beauties and then order @busyphilipps and @jedidiahjenkins new memoirs, and @germyradin and @melissapoulin3‘s poetry books!!! .

Getting our bodies moving gets our thoughts and emotions moving, too — part of why working out is a major priority for me! For #worldmentalhealthday, I’m sharing an interview I did with @careercontessa about my own mental health journey — what it’s like to break down... and finally wake up. I experienced a rare form of postpartum after the birth of my second son that has ended up being one of the biggest blessings I’ve ever received. The experience shone a light on everything in my life that needed to change; including the way I take care of my body, soul and mind. I feel super vulnerable sharing this story, but I’m doing it because I want you to know that if you’re struggling, you’re not alone. Don’t be afraid, do get help. It gets better. .

Nature is always my go-to for family activities, but we took a chance on the Moxi Museum in Santa Barbara and loved it! It was inexpensive, beautifully designed, offered lots of creative options and was interesting for adults as well as kids. It can be tough to find family activities that are fun for all of us (to give you an idea, I find amusement parks completely overwhelming!) so I was delighted to find this little gem of a children’s museum — and so were the boys, as you can see from the giant smiles on their faces :)

In another life I would have braved a move to the city in my twenties, but in this life I’m incredibly lucky to be able to travel there, connect with tremendous people and see thought-provoking theatre.

End of camp week. I love these two souls with every single piece of my heart. Dash = rock band camp where he made his own one-string guitar with the help of an incredible teacher. Finn = art camp, where he knit his own “knight belt” and woodworked an amazing shield (note his design using the four elements - this kid is so freakin cool!!) I LOVE watching these two boys grow and expand into the world around them - what a gift they have been to me and what a gift they are to the world. Thank you, God Universe Spirit for sending them to me. 💖🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💕

1. I like this photo my cousin @kailajo took of me in Costa Rica last week. I look relaxed. 2. This photo does not accurately represent today, but I wish it did, so I’m currently pretending I’m back there right now. Ahhhhhh... 🌴 3. My day involved my catalytic convertor being stolen out from under my ancient Prius FOR THE 2nd TIME in a year, my fighting kids, full-time momming, urgent career deadlines, some extreme LA heat, and okay Mercury retrograde, I get it, you’re on your way, I always feel you early and I’m taking your lesson! 4. The lesson is that it’s okay to feel frustrated and overwhelmed. The next-level-up lesson is that we always have the power to CHOOSE how that fire energy gets released into the environment around us. Let’s channel it into focused and deliberate actions and not let it blow up on the people around us (usually our nearest and dearest, ammiright?). My BIG takeaway lately has been all about Solving The Problem At Hand, without letting emotions or fears run the show. 5.. Hey, you know what’s really great timing? Oprah & Deepak’s free 21-day meditation course. Could not have come at a better time and I’m seriously considering becoming a meditation teacher because I believe in the power of this practice so deeply. I’m gonna put the link in my bio. 6. I appreciate you all and please let me know if any of this is resonating with you, too!! We got this!!

Getting to film in nature is the only thing helping my weary heart this week, and the knowledge that I get to hug my babies this weekend. I’m away from them a lot in my line of work and it makes my stomach hurt to imagine what it would be like to know my children were scared and hurting, without anyone who loves them there to comfort them. Let me be clear - I’m not looking to discuss politics. I’m asking you to do what we do everyday as actors, which is to put yourself into someone else’s shoes. Put politics aside for a moment and be willing to feel into someone else’s life and what this horrifying experience must be like for those children and parents. I understand that immigration is complicated. But the love between a child and a parent isn’t. #keepfamiliestogether . .

“You must learn to be still in the midst of activity and to be vibrantly alive in repose.” - Indira Gandhi . People often ask me to recommend acting books or courses and I can honestly say that what has had the greatest impact on me as an actor and as a human is learning to meditate. Learning to listen more closely to God and my soul. Being willing to learn why I do the things I do, and being enthusiastic about doing the work to shift my actions to be more closely aligned with the person I choose to be. Through doing that work, I’ve opened up parts of my soul that I’m no longer afraid to reveal on camera, and have a greater understanding about what makes human beings tick, all of which I get to bring to my characters onscreen. It can still be a struggle, but it’s a worthy one and a practice that I’m committed to, because I know it’s a positive path and that it works. ❤️❤️❤️

Can’t sleep (one of the side effects of making a horror film), so I’m scrolling through photos and feeling grateful for the opportunity to be a storyteller. I’m always humbled to witness the sheer effort and force of will it takes to get one movie made, the number of men and women who give their all to bring someone’s vision to life. Thanks @ghstwrtr @trevorseeley #patriciaharris @zuluimp for bringing me on board. The ride was, at times, insane and sometimes I wanted to get off entirely, but ultimately I’ll look back on this film with a smile and be proud that we weathered the hail, dust, thunderstorms, pulled muscles, ghosts - and fried grasshoppers - to bring this story to the screen.

This has been my life for the past few weeks. I’m exceptionally grateful, especially to our hard working crew. I’m also exceptionally ready to be reunited with my espresso maker. . #LaLloronaMovie #imissmylattés #andmykids #indiefilm #mexico #makingahorrormovie

That time I filmed a horror movie on a doll-infested island. (See stories for more — I mean, if you like that sort of thing!) . . #LaLloronaMovie #setlife #indiefilm #actress #Mexico #filmmaking

Working on a scary movie with this one instead of our usual Hallmark romances. Who knew @antoniocupo had such a great horror movie scream?? 🤷🏻♀️ #thingsyoulearn #LaLloronaMovie #BFFs #setlife #actors #ponchos #itwascold

After sifting through mounds of rock and dirt like old-timey prospectors (wore my paleontologist hat, natch), we uncovered this beautiful piece of crystal quartz. Perfect 7th birthday celebration for my little gem lover, he’s beyond thrilled. Thank you Mother Earth!! 🙏🏻 🌏 💎 (See my instastories for the whole story!!) #thankyoumotherearth #probablyworthfivebucks #crystalquartz #mysonlovesit #happybirthdayfinn

7 years ago today I became a mother, and was given the unbelievable gift of this little bundle of sunshine. Finn, you are curious, kind, artistic, nurturing, fast and insightful. I love your big heart, your enthusiasm for art and swimming and rocks, your deep love for your little brother, and the thought-provoking questions you ask me as you figure out the world. The ways you have grown me as a person are innumerable and I am so grateful for the gift of YOU 💖 Happy birthday, kiddo.

I told stories this weekend at @hfastudio :) First, there was the fear and then the jumping in. And then there was the beautiful laughter and tears from the audience. Big thanks to @sachiealessio for the invitation to take the leap into writing and to the incredible guys and gals in my tribe who came out to support me :) Note: If its art and it scares you, it’s probably because you need to try it out for yourself. Don’t give up!!😘

Supporting one of my favorite organizations and causes, @ps_arts last night! As an artist who attended public school, now with a budding artist of my own who attends public school, I deeply believe in the work this organization does to bring the arts into underserved public schools. Art is the universal language and it lifts us out of our everyday lives — I believe it is critical for every child to have access to the transformative power of the arts. Text PSARTS to 20222 to show your support and help raise money for a wonderful cause, or visit www.PSarts.org to volunteer your time!

This gal is GREAT at pulling together a group to collectively do some good in the world! Spent the morning volunteering with my fellow Hallmark dames @danicamckellar @thereallacey @jen_lilley (and @brookemahan and @stephylems!) at #mystuffbags. Danica donated copies of her book #MathDoesntSuck to this amazing organization and we filled 1000 personalized bags for children and teens entering the foster care or shelter system. 💖 I’m so glad organizations like this exist!!! . . #worldbookday #bethechange

This is what a few decades of friendship looks like 💕💕 I treasure these pockets of time my childhood friends and I still find for each other in our busy lives!

Never stop learning, never stop creating, this is the breath of life. Took my first pottery class and was soothed and delighted by the Zen of it all. I’ll be back for more.

Woke up feeling that we all need to keep this idea in mind today: “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” Have a good week, loves. ❤️
