happy end of mercury retrograde

& happy new year

2023 I embraced my hotness, my weirdness, my star-ness, my stupidity, & my power.

some thoughts when imagining how I want to feel in this new calendar year:

• play! sing, dance, meet people, try things

• don’t flake if you said you’d go, GO. Trust the part of you that signed up and don’t bail on her.

• write poems songs plays sketches books essays reviews emails letters press releases pitches applications

• read poetry memoirs plays novels journalism essays

• find a routine and forgive yourself when you mess it up. Perfect is not the goal. Deadlines are not the motivator. Enjoy the process, revel in it. Document it. Be present with it.

• balance social media, indoor/outdoor time, creative time, weed, watching

• organize build community, produce work, show up, create space, ask for others to join, create to sustain, connect locally

• create ASTROLOGY CABARET, draw, punch needle, sew, alter, style, paint, write, sing, knit, crochet, build, grow

• focus art/work on connection & collective liberation

• hold space for yourself and every single part of you

here’s to showing up in 2024, I love you.
