// the mood & vibes this week
— hello, friends! i'm writing this to you on friday morning, from my little house in topanga. it's been two weeks since we've chatted; i skipped a week of sending out sam's digest. honestly still adjusting to the new schedule and format, and i am planning some changes coming soon.
— if you are a creator, you may resonate with the following…but i feel like i'm always working towards some perpetual level of perfection with my content. trying to distill down the things that make our community unique, and packaging myself into different formats. attempting via trial and error to find the modes of expression that feel like they fit.
— it's a rewarding but taxing experience. sometimes i get that feeling of “yeah, this is rad, this is what i want to say, this is what feels like me” and other times i'm like “god, i don't know if this is resonating, maybe i need to make a slight change here, or here, or here.”
— that's a whole lot of my inner monologue! if something i share resonates with you, it always means a lot to hear it :).
— in terms of life outside the little screens in our pockets, things are pretty cool. i am really enjoying the increase in sunny days we're getting in LA (it's ironic that it's cloudy this morning, but oh well). i just feel most like myself when it's warm and blue out, and i can spend the day with inspiring people in cool places.
— a random list of cool moments: having an adult slumber party with my backpacking friends, going to my first-ever book launch party for
a 1000x better, writing an offer on a vintage craftsman among 36 others, learning that i can run 10 miles and feel great, rewatching an old favorite 90s show - charmed, and preparing to list a midcentury modern gem in silver lake. all the things!
