Today is my 60th Birthday!!
Outside of milestones related to my jewelry art, I have rarely celebrated myself. But this one feels different, special, and I am so ready to dance into the next part of my life!

New Orleans and Mardi Gras are playing prominently in my celebration today:
One of my dear sister-friends from Tulane sent me a Praline Pecan King Cake from Joes Cafe LA – oh my stars, it’s delicious.

Then, the 2021 Mardi Gras poster I’d ordered from CeauxArtwork arrived, with a little somethin’ extra that just about had me in tears and definitely brought me back to watching the festivities from my grandmother’s stoop. Please do yourself a favor and check out his work for yourself.

Tonight I will enjoy the red beans I’ve been cooking for days (you heard me) while listening and dancing to a Mardi Gras music special put together by another one of my dear Tulane friends @kadoss114 on his weekly program FJS (funky, jazzy, smooth) with KD on Spreaker. Check his program out at 7 central, 8 eastern.
I also added an Aloe vera and a Venus flytrap to my plant baby family in my studio.
I’m looking forward to creating and celebrating more milestones this year.
Big Hugs and Onward!
