I finally found my rhythm when I realized even the steps backwards were part of the dance

"I finally found my rhythm when I realized even the steps backwards were part of the dance." -- Melody Godfred This poem from my debut poetry collection, Self Love Poetry: For Thinkers & Feelers embodies everything I learned in my thirties.  After a lifetime spent worrying about perfection and struggling to stay on the narrow linear path of accomplishment we're all forced to embrace, my thirties have been about realizing that my growth isn't in fact linear, and that there is nothing awaiting me in perfection. By claiming my authenticity over everything else, I now make decisions that are in...

New Year, True You

UPDATED 2/16/2022: We're officially on a break from producing jewelry. I hope you'll pick up a copy of one of my books to empower your self love journey. Thank you for your support! January 10th, 2022 --- a note from our founder: In January of 2019, burnout got the best of me. So I did the only thing left to do: I paused. I took a six-month break from Fred and Far and took care of myself. Now in 2022, it feels like the right time to do that again. This time I did a quiet test run, removing jewelry from...

The Night I Was Reborn: The Self Love Poetry Book Launch

On October 5th, 2021 my book Self Love Poetry was reborn into the world, and you could say, so was I. I initially self-published my debut poetry collection, Self Love Poetry: For Thinkers & Feelers, in October of 2020. Shortly after, Andrews McMeel, the greatest publisher of the poetry genre, reached out to me to acquire the book and help it reach a new, bigger audience. Me, someone who has always aspired to becoming a published author, couldn't resist.  I said yes to the deal, and in that way said yes to my most authentic self: I gave myself permission to...

Artist Ragni Agarwal Honors The Connection Between Mental Health and Art

One of the things that got me through the pandemic was watching my dear friend Ragni Agarwal make art. Even during the hardest periods of being on lockdown, Ragni Agarwal found a way to see the beauty of any given moment or space.

She moved from digital art to physical art and took us all along for the ride, openly sharing about the connection between her art...
