Art, gardens, horses, and real estate might seem like an unusual combination, but to me they’re all connected! I’m excited to be joining the Center for Process Studies this Tuesday, October 20, at 12:00 PM Central Time for a conversation about creativity, the places we love, and how the different parts of our lives come together. It’s a free online event, and I’d love for you to join us!
