Follow Small Space, Big Taste

I don’t know about you but Sundays in our house usually consist of laundry and listening to good tunes. It just so happens that @ashleywilsonmusic has a new album “Paint the Sky” and it was written from a converted laundry room. It’s wonderfully vibey with soulful, lively vocals.

In the new series Making Space, we’re going behind the scenes with Ashley whose debut album, Paint the Sky, was just released on Spotify. While writing the album, Ashley lived in a one-bedroom apartment with her husband in San Francisco where she converted their laundry room into her music studio proving you don’t need a lot of space to create something big.

Full disclosure, Ashley is one of my closest friends and it’s been so inspiring to watch her make space in her life to pursue music. We met and worked together at a crazy-all-consuming tech company and it’s been a long journey for both of us to unravel that.

While I’m definitely biased (I have early, hand-written charts of her song “Fool” hanging on the wall next to my piano) her album has been praised by a number of music critics and she’s just getting started.

See how Ashley is making space in her home, budget, and calendar for music on the blog via the link in bio.

I’m on vacation in Mexico, exploring the culture, nature, and food here. The thing about it is that the most breathtaking parts can’t be captured in a photo. -
In this picture we’re on our way to a lazy river float in Sian Ka’an, an ecological biosphere. The natural fresh water canal is crystal clear with a white sand floor. Sunscreen and loud noises are not allowed. The gentle current takes you winding through mangroves which are the home of wild orchids and air plants.
-
The river float is not a place for a camera, so this is the only picture I have. You just have to leave it behind, be present, and try to soak up every moment to capture in your mind. In the coming days I’ll be sharing more from our trip—so stayed tuned. Here’s to traveling light and making space for adventure 🍹🏝🚣🏻‍♂️🐚🌊

No matter how small your space is, there’s always room for one more plant. Amiright?
