I haven't been here in a while.

On February 7th, three days after my 36th birthday, my mother passed away from terminal bladder cancer. And now I learn today that a dear friend, Kayla-La (Dani) has also passed on. She was only three years younger than me...

I'm not sure how to process this news. I knew her from years ago, we chatted very briefly back in the day; I mostly knew her from the Artists Beware community that she loved and helped build the foundations of...of which now will never be the same without her shining light and awesome kindness.

I'm just...so sad.

Please, if you are in that dark a place, NEVER HESITATE TO REACH OUT TO SOMEONE

Please.
