Light and Dark in the Time of Covid

I’ve realized that it’s ok to take a break, to breathe, to meditate on the myriad of blessings that I sit in daily, to cherish my relationships that are life giving. It’s ok to not be ok sometimes. It’s ok to lament. I guess appropriate lamenting harkens back to the beauty that was and looks toward the colorful horizon of a new day.

The Price of Predictability

Hefty is the price to pay if one is willing to sacrifice “voice” and opinion to swift sales. I am realizing as I sort through these issues, that art is so much more than a product to me. It is a mode of communication I use it to share who I am with others. I raise my voice with it, I point out what ignites my soul or brings it low. Isn’t this the true heart cry of all artists?

On Art and Napping

On Art and Napping

Some say that I have elevated napping to an art form. This may very well be true as I have cultivated napping over the years. I’ve curated the best spaces to nap (sofas, Ubers, airports, tiny beds at department stores) and the most useful materials needed to take the very best type of naps (big hoodies, fuzzy socks, chilly eye masks, white noise apps). Naps can be well planned or caught on the fly waiting in a parking lot for my next appointment. Some are long and the very best part of a rainy Sunday afternoon. But my naps all have one thing in common…a twinge of guilt.

“I am thankful for Molly’s creative mind and expertise leading up to and on the day of my son and daughter-in-law’s wedding. The beautiful outdoor ceremony and intimate barn reception was beyond what we imagined. Molly’s direction and execution of the details gave me peace of mind and made it possible for our family and friends to enjoy this amazing day!”
