Thank you for being so open and generous with your heart, Lisa. In a world that is constantly grabbing and keeping and hoarding it is beyond beautiful to see and feel someone giving and offering. 🤍
Practice generosity. Think less about yourself and more about what you have to offer. Think less about what people will think of what you offer, and more about what people will receive by you choosing to offer it. Think less about your own personal doubts and more about what a gift it is to move beyond your often-narrow ideas of your work and into the ways it truly nourishes people, when you just get out of your own way. Generosity is a value to lean on when you aren’t sure what to do; it always gives in both directions.
This was timely especially after stepping away from all social media platforms. The reminder to “let yourself be where you are” was a much needed permission. I felt parts of me soften as I read that. Also, “stop trying to hold it together you are not glue or stone.” Thank you for offering words that are meant for real life and not the manufactured one most of us are being asked to live online. 🩶
"The manufactured one most of us are being asked to live online" whew... this. I hope stepping away from social media brings you even more connectedness to real life. Such a brave thing to do in this season. <3
Loving you always and needing this always. That interview with Jane. I was explains to Jeremy “she said she wanted them to come back as test animals” and he just said “wow”.
There are no words to describe how soothing and timely your words are to me at this very moment of my life… thank you from my inner child, thank you from me, too ❤️🩹❤️
Thank you! I am going to print this out and keep it close to me - in my heart, in my art , and in my life. It validates my feelings, my questions and thoughts these past weeks and months.
Thank you for writing this. I needed to read this so badly. I’ve been struggling to find my rituals again, and to find the balance, because I guess I unlearned how to keep it going.
I will use this as a reference to not forget. Also, it’s never too late to restart.

That means a lot to receive -- thank you for taking the time 💛
Yes, you have a pure heart of gold. 💛
As always, so much of what you share resonates deeply. Thank you for staying open, so I have the courage to do it too, over & over.
I'm so grateful it resonates -- it helps me feel more connected, too. Thank you <3
This is gorgeous. Sadly too long to tattoo on my body so I’m trying to figure out other ways to keep it close 💛
The amount of reminders I wish I could tattoo on my body... with you <3
so many things to say; but "my heart in front of me, 2024, 35mm film" took my breath away. i love how you see!
Tears! I love how you see, Shira -- your art and words always feel like a jolt back to the present. Thank you for all you share and are.
What an extraordinary post--I love these lines:
How do I keep going?

So grateful it connected with you <3

Lyrical. I look forward to your weekly contemplations. Cutlivating joy in our own lives through ritual and connection is indeed how we keep going. ❤️

Loved every word. Idea. Bigger concepts. Gestalt of this piece. Hugs from the place of slowed down, but not stopping. Cyn🕯️
