THE GLOOM SHOWED ME HOW TO BLOOM
Little did I know the start of a retreat would bear me the news of the loss of my grandmother. The timing of honoring her at a conference, speaking words of encouragement of not giving up and being a friend to those around you. The start of my June was the biggest loss I’ve ever experienced in my life. The woman that raised me, guided me, pained me and helped me grow. She was a tough cookie hidden behind that smile. I now know how proud she was of me. I feel her everyday. I feel the ease she wanted for me. I feel the calmness she always exuded even in her most stressful moments. She always wore her red lipstick and her red nails with confidence, no matter what. Even on her last day. She did what she loved and I think that’s all that matters. Do what you love. ❤️

Rest in Peace Lola Belen 🙏🏽
Anh Phoong isn’t afraid of heights. She has a vivid memory of herself in college dancing on top of a nightclub speaker. It’s an image that her friends won’t let her live down to this day, telling her, “Anh, all we remember you as is the girl on speakers.”
Now, she’s the woman on billboards.
If her name doesn’t immediately ring a bell, it will when it’s said in a sentence: “Something wrong? Call Anh Phoong.” I first saw the personal injury attorney’s blue-and-yellow billboards last November. They struck me in a way that no other lawyer billboard has. There was a campiness that I couldn’t quite put my finger on, so I snapped a photo and posted it on my Instagram story. “This is such a serve,” I typed. Immediately, other friends replied, also curious about this Asian woman who was giving Jacoby & Meyers and Shen Yun a run for their money.

Step 1, get out of the ego consciousness around what’s supposed to happen. That’s where I drop people down. I use breath work, gentle movements — just to discombobulate the body a little bit. Then I talk people into a place where they can begin to imagine into the world they’ve created. If I’m working with a dream, I say, “OK, enter the dream place again. What do you see?” Same thing if it’s a setting from your script. When you work in that way, details become clear that you didn’t know were there. Sometimes there are people in the room you hadn’t imagined. You can take it or leave it. If it doesn’t fit into the script, that’s fine. But the imagination is creating this world for a reason; let’s just allow it to be for a moment. And then I bring the character in. What’s the essence emanating from them? Where in your body do you feel that essence? Sometimes, depending on the person, I’ll say, “What would happen if you allowed some of that energy into your body, some of the thoughts they might have into your head?”

Two weeks after I lost my sister, she visited me in a dream. Was it her, or was the dream a construction of my psyche, made to process this sudden loss? Either way, it shook me to my core.
Since childhood, I’ve transcribed thousands of pages of dreams into bedside notebooks in the dark, but it wasn’t until I studied dream work, using techniques pioneered by Carl Jung and adapted for artists, that dreams began to change me.

a month of memories and celebrating the women in my life. surrounded myself with art and good company. thank you to my bestie for honoring me with the best peking duck in la for getting my estheticians license, what a treat. attended my first sogetsu ikebana luncheon and a workshop for epicuren’s signature facial. March you showed me how to spring forward with the right attitude and the best direction.
