Greetings Barre Bae,
I come to you with a heavy heart, feeling overwhelmed by the state of the world this week (even more so than I have been for the past year…or five years to be honest). Between the looming inauguration on MLK (the irony!), the ongoing wars all over the world, and Los Angeles on fire, it's really hard to focus on anything else, especially joy.
It didn't feel right to share with you what I had originally lined up for this newsletter. My latest skincare obsession doesn't matter with all that is happening around us this week. Instead, I am sharing one of the ways I chose to help those in need in L.A. I'm also offering donation based classes for the rest of the month to help folx who would like an outlet for the stress and trauma they might be trying to process right now. Let's be in community and move together out of love and respect for our bodies. We cannot support others if we are depleted. “You can't pour from an empty cup.”
