On Leaving Winter Behind

What i've been up to during offline mode

I unintentionally allowed this Winter season to be more offline than usual. As I tended to my transition into 2026, I just didn’t feel the pull to share. I’m grateful for your trust that I would return here when the time was right.

Spring came more quickly than I could’ve expected. The first three months of the year (despite being Winter) always seem to move quickly. This year moved especially fast as my family celebrated my brother’s wedding, many family birthdays, and as I worked to put finishing touches on Matriarch’s rough cut.

I’m still stumbling towards coherence. What I can share is that I have been trying really hard to build strength and discipline from the inside out rather than the outside in. I’ve been praying first thing every morning, moving my body every day, and picking up my guitar most days of the week. I’ve been finding a rhythm to balance paid work and personal work. I’ve finally started making music again after what has felt like the longest hyper-focus period on my film.

The world is…the world. Every day I’m trying my best to stay balanced despite those challenges.

I’ve started to show Matriarch to (some) of the participants, and a few other outside eyes. The feedback has been helpful. My goal is to take the project as far as I can while I wait for some film finishing funds to come in. Then it will be on to color grading, sound design, and finishing the music for the film.

I revamped my website and finally pulled myself away from Squarespace.

After some convos with friends I decided to put my music back on Spotify. While I absolutely can’t stand spotify, friends helped me to realize that I might reach folks who need to hear me through that platform. I’m trying not to be stubborn on this one. Leaning into the gray area, and trusting the people who are close to me.

I finally finished reading Sea of Poppies, and started reading this novel written by my beautiful and brilliant friend Tari.

Book club it with me?

I have a lot to be grateful for, and I’m pouring all of that back into these creative vessels that I am mothering. Things are not always easy, but I do believe that there is good in the world worth celebrating, and that our efforts towards positive transformation will not be in vain.

One day at a time.

Much love, and more soon xx
