Last month, #BlackHippieArt collaborated with event organizer & curator @vanessagchandler on our 4th @oldcityphilly art stroll visiting art galleries and speaking with gallery owners and tour guides about the latest exhibitions. It was a pleasure to meet, speak and appreciate art with everyone who came to our event. Special thanks to @museumforartinwood, @paradigmgs & @piigallery for hosting us. Also, a huge thank to @vanessagchandler for constantly being an amazing collaborator. Can’t wait to host this again soon ✨#oldcityphilly #artstroll #phillyartscene #phillyartdistrict by @vanessagchandler

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VANESSA!!! Art has truly brought us together and kept us connected for so many years. I am honored to be your friend and to be there with you on your journey as you continue to blossom! You always offer me warm words of encouragement and support. Birthdays are always a time for reflection and I am in awe of all the ways you’ve started to honor yourself this past year. I know it can be tough for us to be kind to ourselves but in your healing journey, you have instilled some morning practices of self care that have changed your relationship to yourself. Could you enlighten us on the ways you hold space for yourself before your day starts and how it has impacted you?V: Art truly has kept us connected, and it’s been so beautiful to grow alongside you, both creatively and as friends. It is always such a pleasure and an honor to create with you.Last year I found myself caught in a cycle of anxiety, overthinking and emotional imbalance. One morning around this time, I randomly decided to try a morning routine, and it just stuck.It’s been over 6 months since I started this routine, and it's had a huge impact on my life and outlook. I do the regular things, like brushing my teeth and making my bed. Then, I practice yoga and meditation. After that I journal, but not in a “dear diary” way. It’s more affirmations, gratitude lists, or scripting about a desire I’m manifesting. I burn palo santo to cleanse the energy and wake up my senses. And then I pray. My prayers lately have felt more like conversations with God, where I receive guidance or reassurance. I end with a mindful walk around my neighborhood, taking deep breaths and usually listening to music.This routine has been a way to check in with myself and identify where I may need extra nurturing that day. Some mornings, my heart feels so full I could burst. Other times, I just get through it and go back to bed. But either way, it has changed how I start my day, how I see myself, and how I move through the world. As I enter into this next year of life, I'm excited to bring these practices with me. Inviting more presence, honesty, and gratitude into my life daily. by @vanessagchandler
