Cheers to a new day Star,

Happy Spring! It's a joy to connect with you here and I hope you feel the beautiful winds of change and not too much of that pollen on the wind 🤧 I'm feeling reenergized after a short break from publishing. Sometimes you have to shorten your to do list to rest, reprioritize, or renew your perspective. What we do in this world is great, but who are we choosing to be? I'm working on being my own best friend, and specifically that best friend that gives you lots of honest love. Honest love, like medicine that don't taste good but will surely heal what you got goin' on.
​
​As we start a new season what honest love do you need to share with yourself?

Consider taking time to write yourself a letter for your spring ahead (Autumn for my southern hemisphere folks 😉). How might you rest more, reprioritize, and renew or change your perspective? Curiosity is our friend this season as we frolic in new feilds physically and metaphorically. Check out my recent collective message on YouTube for more inspiration and encouragement.

SXSW was sweet!

I had the opportunity to sell some of my vintage finds and Relax & Remix journal this SXSW. I met so many new folks and was thrilled to bring some new energy to their closets. I still have a number of beautiful peices that need a good home. This will be my shops last season, I've updated my pricing to sell. If you're in the Austin area and want to shop the collection in person you can book an appointment by emailing heyelayna@gmail.com.
​

May you feel refreshed and renewed this week. Spend time in nature and be inspired by everything in bloom. 🌸

Be well, love yourself ✨

🐟 German researchers at the University of Bonn developed a fish-inspired, patent-pending washing machine filter that removes over 99% of microplastic fibers without clogging. Modeled after the self-cleaning, funnel-shaped gill arch system of anchovies and sardines, this technology catches synthetic fibers while allowing water to flow through, curbing a major source of water pollution. (Biomimicry in science! I love when scientist are inspired by nature.)

🎉 Upcoming Events

It's my birthday month y'all! If you haven't had a chance to celebrate with me, consider joining me at Gospel Brunch next Sunday, March 29, from 1-3 PM.

This Gospel Brunch is a special one. 💛

As my life begins to shift into a new season, I’ll be stepping away and preparing for all the new things coming into my life.

So this gathering will be my final Gospel Brunch (in Austin) and I couldn’t think of a better way to close this chapter than in community, joy, and fellowship.

If you’ve been meaning to come… this is your moment.
If you’ve been before… come back and celebrate with us.

Let’s laugh, play, connect, and give God glory one more time together. ✨🙌🏾
