Beauty From Chaos

It has been a hell of a ride since the pandemic began last year. We have experienced so much loss and uncertainty during this time. It seems sometimes that the blows just keep on coming. Yeah, it’s really difficult to stay isolated from friends and family when all you want to do is get together for a few laughs, great food and an all- around good time. Or maybe you haven’t seen your parents or family members who live out of state and are unable to travel right now. Any way you slice it, we are alone…together…and it doesn’t always feel good.

So what do we do about it? Finding ways to express our frustrations has never been more important. I’ve found that if you move your body (as much as you can) you’ll boost your mood. That might look like having a brief dance party in your room, going for a brisk walk or run, or working out if you have the space to do so. Find that thing that makes you feel a little more like yourself again.

For me, that looks like expressing my creative energy. My emotions were all over the place yesterday and I needed a way to feel better. Being a writer, actress, filmmaker and creative professional, I understand how channeling your emotions in a positive and creative way is cathartic so I sat down to create. I felt like chaos so I looked at all of my beads and put some together in the form of earrings…beautiful CHAOS came shining through!

Find your rhythm wherever it may lie. Move, create, just find your JOY!
