🌿 A Quiet Moment Within the Energy: Body Mind Spirit Celebration Recap

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to be part of the Body Mind Spirit Celebration in Cincinnati.

Events like these are always a beautiful mix of conversations, shared stories, and moments of discovery. But within all of that, what I continue to seek — and hope to offer — is something quieter.

A moment to pause.
A moment to breathe.
A moment to simply be.

✨ The Weave of Life — Created Together

One of the most meaningful parts of the weekend was the creation of a community Weave of Life piece.

Over 50 people participated in building it — each person adding their own small piece, their own moment of intention, their own presence to the work. Watching it grow throughout the weekend was incredibly moving.

What began as individual moments slowly became something collective — layered, interconnected, and alive with shared energy.

There is something powerful about creating side by side with others, even in silence. No pressure, no expectation — just the act of showing up and contributing.

🌱 A Reminder of Connection

Each piece added to the Weave is simple on its own. But together, they form something much greater — a visual reminder of how we are all connected, even in passing moments.

To everyone who participated — whether you created, observed, or simply shared space nearby — thank you.

Your presence is part of the piece.

And that is what makes it meaningful.

What a Stranger Left Behind

What a Stranger Left Behind In early May, I was part of AmplifyHER — a celebration of women vendors, arts, and community here in Fort Wayne. I brought a table, some colored pencils, markers, and an invitation. The invitation was simple: take a moment to create. I offered two options. Pre-cut paper shapes from the Weave of Life project — if you wanted to draw or write something and see it join the growing canvas right there, in real time. Or uncut paper — if you wanted to make something that...

The Living Room Studio

The Living Room Studio There is a particular kind of creative life that doesn’t wait for ideal conditions. Right now, our living room is doing a lot of work. It holds two computer desks — one for me, one for my spouse Charlie. My encaustic painting table. A table for the Glowforge. Along the edges and tucked under everything: laser materials, painting supplies, Fritz Studio merchandise, and the general organized chaos of running two creative businesses out of one small space. And at the end...
