Thinking about: Esther Perel
Power – Control
Closeness – Care
Respect – Recognition

Workshop: Every once in a while you have to take a risk – personal, financial, or otherwise and do something that you wouldn’t normally do. I’ve been a fan of Lynda Barry for a long time now. She announced she was bringing her workshop Writing the Unthinkable to Portland and I instantly jumped on the opportunity. I’m so glad I did. I’m incredibly inspired and moved by the experience. It’s going to take me a while to unpack it all.

Science gives me the metaphors for understanding art [and vice versa].
