My Holiday Email … As a Blog Post
Happy holidays!
May yours be filled with peace, love, and good cheer.
[First off: If you didn’t get the message below as an email, you’ll want to sign up for my newsletter here. When you do, you’ll also receive a promo code for $10 off your first mobile over $128.]
Congratulations! You made it through another year. And what a year it was!
I hope this message finds you well … or at least sane-adjacent.
I wanted to share a quick note to thank you for, well, being you and to share a holiday “special” with you.
Buy a mobile and give to charity?
At a time when we’re each called to do what we can to help our communities, I’ll be donating $10 from every sale to charity … and you get to choose which one!
When you order a mobile between 12/1–12/14*, you’ll pick from the following four nonprofits:
Oregon Food Bank leads a statewide network to eliminate hunger and its root causes by providing food assistance today while advocating for systemic changes like affordable housing and healthcare.
Write Around Portland offers free creative writing workshops in under-served communities like hospitals, prisons, and homeless shelters to change lives through the power of writing and storytelling.
The Pixie Project also offers low-cost veterinary care to low-income and homeless pet owners to help keep pets in their homes.
Girls Garage empowers girls and gender-expansive youth ages 9-18 to build the world they want to see through classes in carpentry, welding, architecture, and activist art. Be sure to check out their online auction, too.
*I handmake every mobile to order, so get your order in early to beat the rush. Last day to order a mobile and have it arrive in the U.S. via USPS by Christmas is December 14.

I’m committed to writing more in 2026. In the meantime, here are a few posts from this past year.
Let’s be there for one another in 2026.
Whether now is the time to order a mobile or not, my wish for you is the same:
May your holidays overflow with good cheer.
May you love and feel loved.
May you feel safe and supported.
May you feel peace and ease.
And may you still feel a sense of wonder and hope.
The year ahead will continue to require we show up for one another in more and more meaningful ways. I’m here for it and for you.
Let’s stay connected to our values and one another!
