Hello friends and family,

I'm celebrating my 40th birthday by committing to taking care of my heart, soul and body as I move into my 5th decade on earth. I have had a rough couple of years, with a lot of change and growth. I've landed very much on my feet with this amazing fellowship in Tulsa, with my soul in tact, and with a renewed excitement about the possibilities for art, transformation, and love in these strange times.

I was encouraged by some friends to do this "registry" for the trip that I'm taking for my birthday. It feels strange to ask for help with such a luxury, but here I am doing it anyway. This is my wedding, my honeymoon, and my baby shower. This is me committing to my life, my family and my ability to continue on as a whole, happy, and healthy person. If you feel inclined to support this financially, I'd appreciate it so much.

My actual birth is Feb 16, which I'll be spending in Brooklyn with my family before heading out of the country, and I'd also love to receive your good vibes and loving best wishes on that day.
