One of the best parts of 2023 has been the return of IN PERSON events, work, connections through traveling across the US and Europe.

‍‍CreativeMornings has been the event series where I have met many new friends and inspirations since moving back to NYC in 2019.

I got the chance to attend a few of their morning events in Berlin this year - and wrapped 2023 with an amazing talk by Thuli Wolf.

A great reminder that pain is also just a circumstance - and what we do with it is 💯 up to us.

While we may not all become Frida Kahlo, Edvard Munch or Vincent van Gogh as a result of devastating accidents, illnesses and trauma - we can at least try to create, act, DO something with the cards we are given instead of becoming victims and passive observers of them.

Something magical may just happen as a result.
