  • Today I’m sharing some specific ways I’ve learned new things over the past year. Online classes, tutorials and in-person classes. But the biggest way I’ve expanded my mind and strengthened my weak empathy muscle? READING BOOKS.

  • I grew up looking at this view every year of my life until 2014. My grandpa sold his lake house that year. I remember thinking, after it sold, how weird it was that I’d never go there again. A place that felt so safe, that contained so many memories, would be inaccessible. In a way, I’d never want to visit that lake again. If I couldn’t be in the house, exactly as it always was, I wanted nothing to do with it. ▪️ Today I’m sharing these thoughts and how it relates to grief, as I’m experiencing it now, 8 months after losing him.

  • Last year I explored recreating old paintings (or parts of the painting) with women of color. Life got the best of my time and I never revisited. I stumbled upon this outtake of florals and I lit up! I’m excited to dive back into this passion project this summer and would love any artwork/painting suggestions to recreate. And if you or someone you know is a woman of color that would like to model, DM me your email address. More on this in today’s blog post.

  • I hope you had a great weekend, pals. I taught a Lightroom 101 class on Saturday, made great progress on re-designing @thewonderjam site and did a little cleanup session at the studio. ▪️ Today’s blog post is short and sweet. Our podcast is back for its 4th season and we’re talking about PERFECTION. In the post, I also share the new twist for this season. If you listen, I hope you like it! ▪️ Day 20/100 of #the100dayproject #alliepalmakes
