๐คIN EMMYโS WORDS... โฃ โฃ
Sighting a rainbow has long been believed to be a positive sign of things to come.โฃ โฃ
Every time I see a rainbow, I remember that Iโm not alone, and that something much bigger is at work around usโฆ And recently, rainbows have been appearing in my life.
โฃIโm part of Gina Bellโs Tears & Tulle Movement, where this rainbow skirt is traveling to 52 women who are showing up in the world and connecting with their unique color... And the skirt has arrived at my door.โฃ
Unboxing this skirt felt surreal as I contemplated my assignment: use the skirt to express what it means to show up in our own brilliance despite darkness and set-backs. And to be honest, I found this extremely hard.
โฃWe are living in unprecedented times when so many lives have been turned upside down.โฃ
Even for those lucky enough to have not been directly impacted by the virus, thereโs a very real presence of grief and restlessness in our collective consciousness.โฃ

โฃI recognize my own privilege being able to take shelter in my own homeโฆ and know this is not possible for many others.โฃ
Iโm grateful for my business being able to continue onlineโฆ but honor the businesses who have lost income and have to make big pivots in order to keep moving forward.โฃ
And all the essential workers who put themselves on the front line every dayโฆโฃ โฃ

โฃThese images speak to our isolation indoors and the longing to be outside, with community. The rainbow skirt represents hope, and always a part of who we are as humans.โฃ
Itโs also about individual perspective.โฃ
You see, rainbows are simply droplets of water reflecting and dispersing the sunโs rays, and yet this incredible display instills a child-like wonder in everyone.
Itโs about choosing to slow down, pause and recognize the beauty and hope thatโs available in each momentโฆ despite any challenges and hardship.โฃ โฃ
Thatโs what makes us human. And thatโs what makes each one of us brilliant.โฃ โฃ
To being human in these times,โฃ โฃ
