Skip the distractions I’m the main attraction

I’ve been trawling antique markets with my mom for as long as I could walk — they’re where I learned that history is long, that the world is wondrous, that human hands were made to create, and that love always awaits us in the unlikeliest of places ✨

When I left a flourishing career + life in NYC to start over as an artist in rural Oaxaca, I wrote in my journal a promise to myself: I will be more powerful in this place than ever before.

A year and a half later, it’s proven true. Not in the societal sense — certainly, I have less money and ‘influence’ than ever — but in the personal sense. The inquisitive, expressive, imaginative sense. The intuitive sense. The sense of embodying my wild individuality, unafraid of all the strength and strangeness and shadows that includes.

Funny thing is, the more I explore and evolve and grow, the more I spiral right back home to my own center, where all these gifts have been all along — tugging at my soul, waiting to be remembered. As a talisman of acknowledgement and gratitude, lately I’ve been wearing this @monicarichkosann pendant close to my heart. Inspired by the Wizard of Oz, it states: you had the power all along my dear.

And it’s true. We all do.

I started today with a long to-do list, but ended up having long conversations instead ✨

Where it’s always summer and the good things grow 💚🌾 #sweethomeoaxaca
