Okay.  We’ll start blogging more regularly again.  I promise.  I also promise to post a little bit more on that intersection of design, activism, and beauty.  But right now, I think we all just need to breathe.  And it appears that this little act is a luxury.  We’re getting hit from all directions these days.  From mother nature too.  It’s been tougher to write about the beautiful produced things this summer.  But at the end of the day, how would we get on in this world if we didn’t support creatives?  That’s why I wanted to share these little videos today.  About tackling these breathing problems that we’re having lately.  In two different ways.  I hope you get what I mean.  And I hope you simultaneously find the community we need and that room to breathe.

PS – According to Facebook, Cait and I became friends exactly five years ago today.  This makes me excessively happy right now.
