We made this to invite you to join us in conversation about what is important\/not and to ask why\/why not?<\/p>\n<p>With end of the year festivities, we took a moment to pause and reflect. In this moment of quiet meditation, we converse honestly about life, gratitude, and redefining expectations around &#8216;success&#8217; and the artistic process.<\/p>\n<p>Happy Holidays from Cindy &amp; Eric.
