  • Who's Calling

    You’ve reached Ashley, please leave a message after the beep. BEEP……
    Hey you, its me. Ive been trying to reach you but I keep getting your answer machine so I guess I’ll leave a message. The storm hasnt lifted and you’ve been nose out of the water deep just barely staying above. You’ve had so many dark days that its hard to tell when its night, and sometimes the love for yourself can’t be seen. Its pretty scary and I always got your back. I want you to know that you are strong. And one day it will all be better. So many people have been trying to fix you instead of being there for you. I want you to keep pushing. I want you to learn to love and pour within yourself with a full cup and love and pour within those around you with your over flow. Call me back as soon as you can. BYE

It more of a delicate, reciprocated piece that it use to be… And although cracks may still remain. Art is still art, even in pieces.
    I just wanted to let you know.

    • ASHLEY!!!! This is very moving, creative, and so wise. This line is so real, “But I’ve never wanted anyone to fix my brokenness, just learn to love my “new togetherness” from what I’ve fixed on my own. ” I think so many people have good intentions, but then it just doesn’t land right, and I think this statement is such a powerful and clear way to…read more

    • I loved how you put it together: “Art is still art, even in pieces.” Indeed our experiences and challenges shape us into becoming unique masterpieces. and the capacity for beauty in our brokenness.
