Bird & Babe has had many iterations—or nests—over the years, at times being a home for a design portfolio and other times being an experiment in weekly writing. A couple of years ago, Bird & Babe partnered with Reimagine End of Life to bring to market The Good Mourning Journal, a passion project of mine that reimagines the mourning process. I’m grateful to still offer this journal to those that desire to process their grief in an embodied, tangible way.

Bird & Babe newsletter is on hiatus with an occasional “love note” sent out. Thank you for stopping by.

Jessica Lipps (MA Regent College, BA Trinity International University) is a creator & mother. Her 5-year-old little gem loves to make meaning with tape, scissors, and string — and water, earth, and sticks. Jessie finds meaning through painting, dancing, writing, and theology. She loves to listen for life in movement, mothering, and in the stories from which we live.

She is currently a PhD Candidate studying embodied ways of knowing within loss in the Faculty of Arts Education at Simon Fraser University. She writes with the emerging theme that all of life is gift and grace.
