yeah, no, this ain't that.
not every rhythm needs to be found, sometimes it j not every rhythm needs to be found, sometimes it just needs a reset. πŸ˜‰

for me, that balance looks different every day: one moment i'm in a news studio, the next i'm in content producer & admin mode, then i'm putting in work at my creation station, or cooking with my tiny great one.

πŸ’œ this is episode 1 of My Creative Rhythm Reset. it's imperfect, it's refreshing, and always fueling my purpose. it took a while to get here but it feels great!

so i'm in the space of defining my own family trad so i'm in the space of defining my own family traditions, alongside events that are a big deal in society but of zero significance to me. i didn't grow up celebrating Halloween, but my Nana did. and the only way i'd get a costume or go trick or treating is if i was at Nana's house. that was something my mom chose to be lenient about because she trusted my Nana would keep us safe. 

that being said, my child will not participate at all, with anyone, ever. i haven't that amount of trust in a single soul. 

as a mom, i believe in providing unbiased information about holidays to my offspring.. she's still young, and i'm very comfortable discussing the origins of rituals and symbols. so when i'm asked "why don't you celebrate XYZ holiday" my answer is simple. "that's not what we do."

PS. this farm experience left a lot to be desired. i checked before i pulled up, the reviews were great!! but i'm not people. πŸ™ƒ

now let me say, i have seen @dossobeauty circulating socials, but honey the content serves the energy of the place no justice! from the beautifully curated space, to the intention of the brand... i'm just in awe! 😍 thank you @kadidja.dosso for a tour of the salon, and congrats on your expansion and continued success πŸ€—πŸ’œ
