Though we’re far apart, you’re always in my hearttttt.” Michael Jackson – one of his more melodramatic songs (I love me some artsy drama)    But that’s really what I came to say.

I Can’t Quit This Color

Sol Reflection

I can’t quit bright pink, but I don’t know if I want to.  I love PINK and it represents my fun, bubbly personality. It reminds me of art school with dyed hair and being called cute and spritely.

Are You Afraid of This Too?

Let’s Boycott This Word in 2024

Sol Reflection

I don’t want to say the word, yet I hear it ALL THE TIME.  I understand what you could mean by it, but words matter.  So the word that chaps my puss (feel free to borrow this phrase from my bestie ?) is FLATTERING. I deleted “flattering” from my vocab entirely after a great convo … Read More

You Basically Have to Love Yourself

Sol Reflection

I got this response to a recent newsletter: “I LOVE water, so I must love 50-70% of myself” The rest is earth, air, and space – love all of those too so that makes 100% in love.”   YES. That’s a mic drop moment so I kind of want to stop here and let you … Read More
