Using Creative Power.

It is when you are really living in the present - working, thinking, lost, absorbed in something you care about very much, that you are living spiritually....For I know that the energy of the creative impulse comes from love and all its manifestations - admiration, compassion, glowing respect, gratitude, praise, tenderness, adoration, enthusiasm. And why should we all use our creative power? Because there is nothing that makes people so generous, joyful, lively, bold, and compassionate.

On Community + Connection.

It is a grace and privilege to be a businessowner in our community. It's a responsibility - response-ability - that comes with such joy at making + creating connections - especially connecting people with themselves. When someone takes a writing workshop with us, we know it's their creativity + expression they seek. When someone purchases a retail piece or artwork, we know it's an outer representation of their creativity + expression they seek. It is much, much more than commerce we are dealing in here.
