Oh, the oddity that is humanity.
Here’s hoping Love wins out among all the things we think we need!

Stay in Saturday, Ep. 7: “CREATING” JOBS!
This week we’re taking on the topic of, drumroll please…
JOBS!! No easy thing in Quarantine!
I don’t know how to create more, but I know how to create!
Whether you have a creating type of job and are trying to get creative with how to do your job, or you’ve lost your job, or you hate your job anyway… if there’s one thing most people have an opinion on, it’s jobs.
I don’t have answers, but I have a few ideas, some of which I’ll expound more on next week. Others are me just trying to make the best of things during a tough time! Here’s to hoping things work out with everyone’s job or job-to-be!

Stay in Saturday. Ep. 6: All About That Mom!
In honor of Mother’s Day, this Saturday we’re celebrating all the moms and mom figures in our lives!
I’m sitting back on this one and sharing the space with a few other women to be able to talk about the meaningful women in their lives. We know relationships with parents can be complicated, but they can also be so, so good. While there’s room for everyone’s story and what this day means to them (if anything), this little space in time is for celebrating the women who came through and did the best they could with what they had!
Happy Mother’s Day, Mommas!! 💜💙💚💛🧡
LIVE ART in QUARANTINE!
Hey Friends,
Instead of Weekend Wednesday tomorrow, I’m going LIVE!!
But it’s not what ya think…
One of my favorite things is actually LIVE ART, painting at a concert, show, wedding, conference, etc… I love it because I always include the audience by having them write down something related to the topic at hand and grafting it into the painting.
At the end of the event I show people what we created together with a mix of our struggles, hopes, prayers, etc… It’s a way to let go and making something beautiful together. I love layering my paintings in this way because it’s a representation of us as humans… layered with meaning that not everyone can see.
SOOOO… I’m painting tomorrow, Wednesday May 6th, LIVE at 4pm PST. It may take a bit so feel free to stay and watch or leave and come back. AND I want YOU to get involved…
It’s going to be a community painting… a large community given our new virtual reality!
Please begin to comment or message me any of the following, something you either want to let go of or celebrate…
-What are you struggling with in quarantine?
-What are you grateful for? (it’s also okay to be enjoying this)
-What do you hope for, pray for, wish for… for yourself or someone else?
Together we’ll let go of some stuff and create something together! You can also just feel free to show up and comment if you want me to add anything in!
Josh will be engaging the comment section… I paint with my hands so that wouldn’t go too well!!
Hopefully see some of you Wednesday!
💜💚🧡💛💙
Stay in Saturday, Ep. 4: Piece by Peace
WOW Life happens fast! I’m actually a week behind in keeping this updated! This is last week’s episode of The Stay in Saturday Show, so feel free to read no more if you already caught it! (And if you did, thank you!!)
(This week’s is still uploading, so I’ll be back with another post soon).
Until then, incase anyone missed it…
“Piece by Peace”
Whether you’re going out or staying in, I hope you’ve had a great week!
I’m not gonna lie, this was a tough week for me, I waited a little too long to feel better in order to put my show together, but then I realized, maybe I could just include the reality of how I feel instead of pretend it’s not a real side of me.
There’s a bunch of pieces to all of us. This week may be a liiiiiittle different, but it’s made with the same heart and desire to make people laugh, as well as connect to our own emotions, whatever they may be!
I sometimes feel like I am two different people, protesting my own thoughts and emotion throughout a given day, this episode allows there to be room for all sides of each of us, differences of opinions and all.
I hope everyone is safe, sane, healthy and happy(ish) out there!
Happy Saturday!
Love, jj
💜💙🧡💛💚
