Happy Holidays + Ben video + winner of giveaway*

I’m feeling quiet these days so I will let Ben do the honors in wishing you all Happy Holidays! This is a video from Christmas eve when Ben entertained us all with his rockstar moves. Note that he is wearing little more than a set of striped Christmas socks.

Sending love and joy to everyone out there on the interwebs!

And the winner of the earrings from Michele Goldstein is Morgan who said, “Oh my! These are adorable… They are like Frida Kahlo, for ears. Love them.” Congratulations Morgan!

Oh, and in my hideout time I have been reading the most wonderful books. Here are some of them:

The Wishing Year: A House, a Man, My Soul A Memoir of Fulfilled Desire by Noelle Oxenhandler
Waiting for Daisy: A Tale of Two Continents, Three Religions, Five Infertility Doctors, an Oscar, an Atomic Bomb, a Rom by Peggy Orenstein.
Annie Leibovitz at Work by Annie Leibovitz
Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell

Hi, I’m Andrea

On this blog you’ll be learning with me how to use our voices, share our creative superpowers and live life in full color.

As an artist, photographer, life coach + mentor, I’m redefining what it means to be a SUPERHERO — ‘cause in my world, it’s got nothing to do with capes, spandex or sidekicks and everything to do with tenderness, intuition & baby steps of bravery.
