Who’s still with me? 👯‍♀️👯‍♀️

A couple weeks ago I posted about doing 100 days of dancing on my own this year and how I was feeling heading into it. So many of you rallied and said you’d give it a go with me.

Dancing can be so healing. So cathartic...

It’s my birthday 🎂 (double tap to send gifts ❤️❤️)

Vintage car, no agenda, a skirt I probably shouldn’t be driving in. Barefoot, obviously. This is the energy I’m taking into the next year. Life picks me up and puts me down a lot, and there’s no pla...

Raise your hand if your post-breakup era came with plaid seats and a wicker basket on the roof. 🙃😜

I think men are supposed to get the cars mid-life 🤷🏼‍♀️… but I got a 1985 Mercedes 300TD and I haven’t looked back.

Her name is Diane. She smells lik...

A lot of times when I don’t know what to wear, my friends and I call upon the uniform. You know the one. The outfit that never fails. The combination you’ve made a hundred times and will make a hundred more.

Pro tip 💡 You don’t have to be an Instagr...

You’re not starting over with nothing. You’re starting over with everything you’ve survived, everything you’ve learned, and finally enough clarity to use it.

Some of the most beautiful places I have ever had the pleasure of visiting.

All corners of the world. Places I never thought I’d see. And as I look back through all of it I keep noticing the same thing... every single place gave me a piece of myself...

[Jacey Duprie @jaceyduprie]

I used to hide in closets.
Turns out they’re better for dancing.

At the beginning of this year I got injured. And for someone who moves her body to move through things...grief, sadness, happiness, all of it... not being able to do that was its own k...

Summer is loading. ☀️

Not quite there yet but my closet is slowly getting the memo. Linen already out, sandals already by the door, and I’ve fully committed to pretending it’s 10 degrees warmer than it is.
No complaints here.

What are you already r...

There are books you read for pleasure and books you read because something in you needs them. These are the ones I reached for when I was trying to find my way back to myself.

When Things Fall Apart - Pema Chödrön

If someone asked you to describe yourself three years ago, what would you have said?

I know what I would have said. Wife. Mom. Creative Director. Someone who had it mostly figured out. None of that is true anymore. Well... Some of it is still true. ...

[Jacey Duprie @jaceyduprie]

You don’t have to have life figured out yet. This is only the beginning.

And despite what you’ll sometimes believe, you are never missing anything outside of yourself. Not love. Not worth. Not belonging. It is all already inside of you.

There will ...

My daughter doesn’t know what it looks like to shrink yet. If i do this right, she never will.

Rule : You aren’t too much. They’re just too little.

[Jacey Duprie @jaceyduprie]

Every other Sunday I get the house to myself. Took me a while to figure out what to do with that. Now I never waste a single minute of it.

The Babyfacial has become non-negotiable. Once a week, in the quiet, before anyone needs anything from me. It ...

[Jacey Duprie @jaceyduprie]

This is your permission slip to take up space.

I spent YEARS trying to be smaller. Smaller body, quieter opinions, softer edges. The whole project of being easier to love. And then I turned 40. And there was no room left to shrink into. I keep meeti...

The perfect Mother's Day gift doesn't exi........flowers and wine. It's flowers and wine.

This year I hosted a Mother's Day brunch with and and it felt like exactly where I was supposed to be. A table full of women, good wine, and flowers that mad...

People comment on her exterior. The plaid. The wicker basket. The chrome.

Nobody asks about the interior. The wiring I’m learning to name. The parts that only show up when something stops working.

We’re both in our forties. Both still figuring out ...

Spring cleaning, bobcats in the backyard, movie night with extra butter. Life lately. 🐈✨
