Scenes from today’s Banana Ball game. #bananaball #savannahbananas

Just a few highlights from our trip to Disney. The kid went off with his marching band friends, so we mostly got to explore the park on our own. I promise I loved Tiana’s Bayou adventure, even though I look terrified! #disney

Fun shapes and phantom hands from trapeze yesterday #aerialdance 💪

Excited to receive an honorable mention in this Critique Match contest for the first chapter of my YA fantasy crossover novel. ✍️ 🎉 The feedback from the judges was very helpful and encouraging. #amwriting #writingcommunity

I know it’s just a random fortune cookie, but I needed this today. #amwriting

A few stills from Open Mic night at Canopy Studio last night. This is a work in progress piece my class performed, and it was great to get more experience performing in such a welcoming environment. #aerialtrapeze #circusarts
