Of all the deliberate chaos, the loss of public lands doesn’t often make the headlines, but it’s happening at an alarming rate.

Since Trump took office he has signed executive orders allowing and incentivizing corporations to develop BLM and national forest lands. They illegally fired thousands of DOI and USDA employees, gutted park services and resources and even revoked protections from some protected national monuments. Our public lands are some of the most precious resources for us, future generations and the plants and animals that depend on them.

Follow to stay on top of the seemingly endless and fast paced changes that are happening right now and look to local land based non-profits to support and state governments to write to ask for increased funding and protections for your public lands.

A percentage of profits from this year’s art sales will go to who advocate for New Mexican wild spaces, water and wildlife.

I feel incredibly lucky to be married to this man and now parenting along side him and immensely grateful for our community both at that time and now.

I’ve been having so many fond memories today of pulling this day together with the help of friends and family. No wedding planner, no fancy anything really. We got married in our dear friend’s parents back yard. My gals made their own bouquets with flowers we picked ourselves from friends gardens and a local wholesaler. My friend and I raided a local fabric store for the most fun tassels and trim to decorate the cacti. Our favorite farm to table restaurant made the most delicious enchiladas and our amazingly talented friend made my favorite blueberry lemon Sonoran white wheat cake 🎂. Costco sized bottles of Jameson whiskey for our toasts and even our favorite NM band, Le Chat Lunatique made the drive down… I think that was the most expensive part of the day and totally worth it 🙃 little did I realize that we’d be moving to NM less than 2 years later!

So cheers to as many more years as we walk this earth 🥃

Six months ago I would not have guessed that this holiday season would have been busy with art prints, hand painted ornaments and markets. It’s been a whirlwind and pretty exhausting for our family, but also loads of fun and so gratifying to talk about my art with strangers and to witness people moved by my work.

The cusp of the year always feels like the I am on the brink of birthing of something new in my business. As the ideas continue to swirl, I know that 2025 will bring growth of one kind or another as well as unforeseen challenges, and I hope to meet them both with curiosity and intention.

I’m looking forward to taking the slower (post holiday) winter season to dream, vision, set goals and plan for my upcoming year with Seedpod. Fortunately, I have some wonderful client work lined up for the first quarter to keep me in line 🙃.

🍾 cheers to intention and integration in 2025. And to the friends and family and others supporting and inspiring the journey.
