Greetings beautiful people…of course with all things considered, I hope you and your loved ones are all still safe, healthy, and well.

Yesterday I celebrated my 32nd trip around the sun and though I wasn't able to travel to Europe like I had initially planned - enjoying some good ol' peace and quiet (and socially distant) here in Joshua Tree has been the perfect way to kick off my MAGIC ✨ year!

A special thank you to everyone who has already sent me birthday wishes...my heart is filled with gratitude - much love and appreciation for you all!

Now if you recently subscribed and this is your 1st time receiving this newsIetter, I want to give you a brief welcome and also bring you up to speed on what exactly this newsletter is; so basically I started this newsletter January of last year (2019) to send out only ONE email on the 21st of every month and each email consisted of a few shared images of my film photography (I started shooting with film at the beginning of the year and I've been using this newsletter as an opportunity to share/document my journey), a curated music playlist of 21 of my favorite songs of the moment, and updates and/or invites to any happenings that may be occurring in between newsletters.

For the people who's already been here with me - here's another installment of my 21 Questions series but this time in celebration of my birthday, I was convinced to sit in the hot seat and answer the 21 questions myself! All I can say is that it was definitely an interesting experience being the one answering the questions this time around...though, internally I've given a lot of thought to the questions - this is the first time that I can actually say that I've answered them out loud. I hope you all enjoy. A special thank you to MC for the nudge and ultimately for conducting the interview for the people! You are simply the best.

Be sure to zoom in.

Thank you again MC!

Just like all the other times, as a token of my appreciation, I also curated another lil’ playlist compiled of 21 (this time I added 11 extra songs to match my age 😉✨) of my current favorite tunes (of the moment) that I invite you to vibe out to! I hope you enjoy and I’ll be checking back in on the 21st of next month. Hopefully we'll have better news by then. Peace and love ya'll!
