I’ve been quiet on the Anthropoloca Jewelry side, as winter always has its way with me, but with spring comes renewed energy and ideas. Last year was a stepping away to focus my energies on my medical interpretation, and as I come back into my creative season—I realize I can’t do everything alone. Being a one-woman show as a maker is extremely difficult and requires a near constant grind and limits exist to what only two hands can do.

This is why I am thrilled to announce I have partnered with Haiti Design Co. to offer some of their beautiful pieces on my website!

I traveled to Haiti in 2016 to teach macrame to an artisan collective of young men, and my heart will forever be marked by the beauty, resilience, creativity, strength and love of the Haitian people. Seeing what is happening there currently is heart breaking, but there are SO many people living, working and surviving amidst uncertainty and violence.

Every purchase goes to help these talented artisans earn a living and continue with their craft. What I love is how many of their designs fit beautifully with my creations as well!!

Please check out my website to puruse some lovely pieces that are PERFECT for summer!! I’m so happy to offer a collaboration that I know is doing good in this world!🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

It’s a beautiful world…for you. But for the millions of displaced Palestinians, whose homes have been bombed, families massacred, children obliterated—with the use of American complicity and tax dollars—it is not so beautiful. Protests and rallies are excellent, but calling our reps is one of the MOST important and democratic activities you can engage in. Please go follow and click the link in their bio to join the WhatsApp group. It’s already 75+ strong and YOUR VOICE is needed!! I have been calling nearly every day for the past few weeks—the staffers are kind and listen. makes calling SO SO easy and quick and is free! The world is seeing the US government for what it is—a greedy, war mongering capitalist machine willing to bomb one of the world’s poorest countries to protect trade routes, but not stop military aide to Israel to prevent the wreckless killing of thousands of innocent human beings. Get the app blast some and take some action 🤘🏽

It can be easy to forget how hard it feels to go into a new place and do something different for the first time. Today, I showed up and did something different and it felt great—did I feel a little awkward? Yes. Did I know anyone? Nope. Am I glad I did it? You bet. Don’t let your fears get in the way of something that is going to make you feel so much better. Want to try yoga, but feel nervous? I get it 💯—but reach out, let me know and I can recommend the classes and teachers most likely to fit your needs and goals. Try something different. You’ll be glad you did.

Rest in peace dear friend. You lived your life by your own terms—a fierce mother and friend, you always had words of wisdom and perspective to offer. You were a student of life and in the end, of death, also choosing how to go on your terms and no one else’s. You are a light and inspiration on how to live fully, completely and with conviction. I’m so grateful to have met you on the streets of Humahuaca where you kindly took me in and offered support, friendship and safety when I needed it. I’m so thankful I got to see you again when you visited here and we got to see Micheal Franti, dancing happily and yelling “tequila!” after waiting in the most ridiculous line to get drinks. I’ve felt your presence these days, and feel you are still here to guide those who need you. Until the next time my dear friend, I love you ❤️
As a note for those who donated for my friend —the remaining $475 of funds are still in my savings and will be available for Mariel’s son Tadeo to use as he moves through this next stage of life without his dear mother. Thank you again for all your help and support to help; highly your loved ones tight and be greatful for each and every day ❤️💔

It isn’t all or nothing. One of the biggest things you can do is not spend any $$$ today. Our government won’t listen until it hits the pockets. Maybe you can abstain from work, or keep your kids out of school. But take a small action and Keep calling. Keep speaking out. The US was the only one of the UN Security Council to veto the measure to bring a ceasefire to Gaza. This is 100 unacceptable. You don’t have to be an expert friends—just a human. Palestinians and Israelis alike are suffering because of this horrific situation. All humans deserve a place. All humans deserve peace. Call call and call again.

Just the occasional reminder to myself that what I do matters. 🤭 After 12+years of teaching have had ups and downs, doubts and self-critique, especially as a cis, thin, American white woman who has benefited so much from the ancient practice and wisdom of yoga; becoming aware of colonialism, appropriation and whyte supremacy as it applies to the capitalization of yoga, opening my eyes to my privilege and continually framing what I do within this context is one of the most important things I can do within my yoga practice and the sharing of it. I will always be a work in progress and my hope is to offer a space where people can just slow down and to their bodies and their breaths with curiosity. The movement and breath serve as external gateways to guide us inward, to focus, to concentrate. They are there to help us learn about ourselves, not with judgement or story, but with a curious mind and open heart. By befriending our tender humanness on our mats, we can begin to find deeper empathy and understanding for others as well—the deeper we find compassion and understanding for our own selves, the deeper the well is for others. I am so glad this person was able to find a space for presence, to not feel rushed, and that she found something that may bring her back to that exploration again. Ever grateful to this practice, the teachers before me and every opportunity I get to share the poetic profundity of yoga’s wisdom and healing. Hope to see you on your mat soon 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

When I start a piece, it looks like nothing. One knot. Two knots. Three knots. Still, a mess of cord and disorder. But I continue, trusting that with persistence, the pattern will begin to unfold. This piece was so tricky—all zigs and zags non-stop—each knot very much dependent on the one before it. Slowly, it unfolds. Creating something that makes sense, order coming from a seeming chaotic mess of threads. Our voices, like these knots, can be like this. One or two—it’s not much. But together, raised in unison—our small voices can create a mighty roar and demand for something different than the chaos. Demanding order, peace, rights and freedoms for all human beings. Recognizing that more bombs will only breed more terror, more violence only leads to more violence. My heart aches every morning when I wake, knowing of the vast amount of pain, grief and suffering that is happening all around the world. But I will use my small voice to speak out for peace, for hope, for a future if something better. The systems in place want us to feel weak, helpless, and as if change isn’t possible. I will daily commit to the task of believing otherwise. Because our thoughts create reality. Our thoughts matter. Our words matter. Praying for peace and all of the innocent children whose lives are pawns in governmental games if colonization, hatred, bigotry, and war. Sending love to every human who needs hope at this moment. 🇵🇸

A day late, but yesterday was 10 years of taking the plunge with my awesome dude, my best friend, partner and sidekick in life. He makes me laugh every day and I’ve never had a relationship that felt so easy, even though we started our marriage with a newborn babe and he was a foreigner in a foreign land. Of course we’ve had ups and downs, but growing along side him has been the greatest gift and I can’t wait to see what the next 10 hold! Happy 10 years to us! He’s not on socials, so this is purely for my need and want to share😂🤘🏽
