Learn how to play again through art and self-expression

On paper, things are “good enough.” You’ve been checking the boxes—hydrated, intentional, striving, achieving. But still… something’s missing.

Remember when fun came naturally, when you could get lost in play without thinking about outcomes, productivity, or whether it was “worth it”? That’s the space we’re going back to.

The Conway Ministry Center (CMC) is nearing the launch of The Refuge, a brand new 22-unit facility that will serve families with children and respite care patients who are facing a housing crisis.

This space isn’t just a building—it’s a lifeline.

The Refuge will offer a safe place to land for families in need while our case managers work alongside them to find long-term housing solutions. It's about creating stability, dignity, and hope in a time when those things feel out of reach.

They’ve seen firsthand how hard housing insecurity hits our community.

That’s why they are pouring everything we have into making this space a reality—because no one should have to walk through those struggles alone.

Happy Anniversary, Silverlake!

Ever been told you’re too much or not enough? Same.

In the last 18 months, I’ve collected “no’s” like rejection letters.
But guess what? Every “no” pointed me somewhere better.

✨ From pinewood derby wins to bold business dreams.
✨ From being “too loud” to owning stages.
✨ From rejection to redirection.

Now I cowork with women who get it—because building your business is way better in community.

Read the full article to see the 3 lessons I learned from rejection.

Do you remember the first time you put on something that made you feel unstoppable? Maybe it was a pair of shoes, a lucky shirt, or even the right mindset.

For me, it was red Converse high tops when I was eight—playing in an all-boys basketball league, and I HAD to prove I belonged.

Fast forward to today, and I still find myself lacing up—this time in business. And just like on the court, there are moments of doubt, exhaustion, and questioning if I’m enough.

But I’ve learned that when those thoughts creep in, it’s time to pause, get a fresh perspective, and surround myself with people who just get it.

Let’s step into a space where inspiration and support are everywhere. You in?
