Oh heyyyy, June. Can you believe we’re in SUMMER now?! And does anyone feel like they need to make up for some “lost time” due to the shutdown and pandemic last year?

Yeah, well, okay, sure. But listen, let’s try to keep some of the rest going on because we discovered some deep goodness in the dark of the shutdown. Let’s keep some of that.

Anyway, let’s get to my June Inspiration!

What I’m Being Inspired By

Current Jam:

This song has embedded itself in my bones, and I keep finding myself clicking play again and again. I can’t stop. And this is the first time that I’ve watched this video, but I’m already kind of obsessed. Have you heard it?

Current Food:

If you’re local to Pittsburgh, you should DEFINITELY check out Coop De Ville. It’s all sorts of fun packed into one location. They combine this feeling of a Tuscan vineyard with an arcade and coffee shop. Suddenly, you can have your very own unique experience whether you want to dine (it’s pretty self-serve) or play games.

Current Read:

I’m on a journey, and it’s an uncomfortable one — I’m determined to understand the truth of my existence in this world while also honoring the experience of other humans as well. It’s not easy, especially when I’m reading a book like Know My Name by Chanel Miller.

This book cracks into the dishonor of having your body used when you were an unwilling participant. It’s painful, but I don’t want to look away. When we turn our eyes away from the reality of pain and hardship, we refuse to bear witness to the story.

Current Obsession:

I’m in love with Fiona’s yellow studded collar. It’s so ridiculous and yet I just love it. You can find it at this link!

I’ve also gotten into painting again, and I’m finding so much joy in creating art from inspiration discovered on Pinterest. Yes, I absolutely work off of other images to create my paintings. You can buy canvas, paintbrushes, and paint (this is my favorite acrylic paint so far)!

Current Quote:

I’m learning that this is a super empowering phrase, but I’m only just learning how to use it. It’s scary, right?! I don’t maybe that’s just me.
