January has been heavy. I talk about it in the video—the creative paralysis, the very real fears for safety, and why I haven’t finished making the Curator’s Collection kits I’d planned.
But I did do one thing: I completely overhauled and weatherproofed the Ripple Station.
The mold was creeping in, so I spent a week sterilizing, sealing and repainting it. You’ll hear in the video why the verbiage had to change and why I replaced the “happy flowers” with a mandala design. It feels truer now—owning my identity a bit more and being much clearer about the mission of kindness for strangers, not just “free art.”
I’m doubling down on offline connections. I’ve deleted most messaging apps and am letting emails sit. If you’re feeling that same pull to step back and just be without those notification bubbles, I’m right there with you.
The Ripple Room on February 5
We’re talking about kindness towards ourselves. I planned this topic back in November, having no idea how much we would actually need it by February.
When: February 5 at 10 a.m. PST

I’d love to see your faces there. Life is full, and sometimes it’s heavy. I hope you’re giving yourself the grace to move slowly.
