Jamal- I am thankful for YOU! This was a big ask, scary for me to do...you made it feel effortless AND you delivered with such care. Aside from collaborating, your writing and photos have been life-rafts for me (and so many others) through such turbulent times. I am endlessly grateful for your creative soul. Thank You x 3000!

That's awesome Stefanie! It's so easy to overlook the necessity of play once you enter adulthood. I hope you have blast experimenting with what it looks like for you!

Stef!! I am "working" on trying to play more too. You'd think it would be easier with a 4 y/o around, I get so stuck in my day-to-day. Thank you for reading and celebrating Jamal! I think you would enjoy his new portrait series! <3

YAYYYY Jamal!!! I love seeing the two of you collaborate. This just brightened my whole day. Best thing to wake up to 😍😍

Also- how fun would it be to all have a game night together one day?! 🩵

And ALL the YES to boundaries!! That’s what happened to me when my marriage almost ended- I had stopped saying yes to myself.

Going into my day lighter thanks to you both!! Xoxo

Mesaaaa! Get right in here!

The boundaries are so hard, but stifling our needs has become HARDER. Thank you for being such a shining example to me of how to BE YOU. <3

Also, YES to game night. I crush at Go Fish. LOL
