the year is coming to a close and i’m dashing off to oklahoma bright + early tomorrow for five days. one of my favorite rituals to do at the end of the year is a recap of the highlights. i hope to settle in to do this one night next week when we return. i’ll be sure to share what i come up with.

in the interim, i wanted to comment on the word tranquility and why i have infused it into all i do. as you probably know, we teach what we most need to learn. i am a doer. love me some doing. when i created the studio in 1999, i wanted it to be an oasis for people to rejuvenate, feel special, enjoy comforting scents, and relish in being. thus, the name of tranquil space fit perfectly. as i continue to create new things, i keep the word tranquil close to heart. not just for fluid branding, but as a conscious reminder to seek tranquility in all i do. tranquility is defined as quality or state of being tranquil; calmness; peacefulness; quiet; serenity. doesn’t that sound divine?

my hope is that by sharing my idiosyncracies, passions, creative pursuits, struggles, and joys, i can continue to serve up a dose of tranquility (and occassional laugh + inspiration) for you. wishing you a beautiful holiday FILLED with tranquility!
