Justice Sonya Sotomayor wrote a forceful and scathing dissent on the Supreme Court ruling regarding presidential immunity. I've taken her last line here.
It's important to remember one of the most powerful she things can do is pen this dissent. Our dissent must come in other forms. Part of that might be passing along her message, but it must also be paired with action.
We planted a tree in our little backyard this weekend. The bees had found the crabapple blossoms within minutes. It felt good to do this small thing for our space, our environment, as a family. Can't wait to see it grow. 🐝🌳🍎
How do we forgive ourselves for all the things we did not become?
Quote from Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer
Trying on some new mindsets in 2024, but always attempting to be thankful for what we've been given.
Wishing for peace and ceasefire in 2024.
Happy new year!

Knowing what to do is not actually doing it.
Quote by poet W.S. Merwin.
It had been awhile since I’d done a wedding commission, but I was excited to partner with a friend of a friend for her special day earlier this summer. She planned a beautiful garden party and was hoping for some signage and name cards that could be embellished with pressed flowers for her Michigan wedding. One of the easiest brides I’ve worked with, we came up with a signage suite that pleased us both. And the photos by Cassie Kieda really make them sing.

Inspired by lyrics from Jason Isbell. I like the idea of both being a flagship and having a fleet.
Today has the most daylight of the entire year, signifying the start of the summer season. My family enjoys marking time using the solstices. Tonight we’ll have our version of an urban bonfire to celebrate. Happy Solstice, y’all!
Inspired by artist Lisa Congdon, who has adopted “hold it lightly” as a practice in her life. You can have the {goal, ambition, dream, list} but you aren’t clinging to it, not trapping it. It’s a way to feel more flexible, more relaxed. I’m trying it.
Hope everyone gets what they need this weekend.
This year is a milestone birthday for me. So when Every Mother Counts asked for team members to join Team EMC at the Chicago Marathon, I decided this was my year. I’m a longtime supporter of Every Mother Counts, an organization dedicated to making pregnancy and childbirth safe for every mother, everywhere. And I’m thrilled to be supporting them through running my first ever marathon.
