Bird & Babe has had many iterations—or nests—over the years, at times being a home for a design portfolio and other times being an experiment in weekly writing. A couple of years ago, Bird & Babe partnered with Reimagine End of Life to bring to market The Good Mourning Journal, a passion project of mine that reimagines the mourning process. I’m grateful to still offer this journal to those that desire to process their grief in an embodied, tangible way.

Bird & Babe newsletter is on hiatus with an occasional “love note” sent out. Thank you for stopping by.

Her 5-year-old little gem loves to make meaning with tape, scissors, and string and water, earth, and sticks. Jessie finds meaning through painting, dancing, writing, and theology.
