Daily Journalling has been powerfully impactful in my mental health and healing journey.

There is something so liberating about putting pen to paper and witnessing your thoughts pour out from the tip of your pen.

Do you daily journal? If so, what transformations have you witnessed in yourself? 🖌️

Week 5 of The Artist’s Way and am seeing some major changes in my life and manifestations.

Excited to keep going and will certainly continue the #MorningPages well after the process. Such a valuable tool for personal growth and creative transformation 💛

Our Day 4 challenge for cartoon art lessons was to create a cartoon self portrait.

Day 4 was definitely a challenge. We really tried, even though we weren’t overly happy with our results.

Loved the kiddo’s use of shading and creative addition of the headband. I was very inspired by their choice of vibrant pink for the girl’s hair, as you can tell.

Mario’s floating head evolved a wee bit today. I just couldn’t stop myself from adding more, and then more again. The blank page wanted some love and attention ❤️💙💚💛

I love seeing each kiddo grow in confidence as they develop their own style. So cool!

Trillium ovatum, commonly known as ‘western trillium’ or ‘wake robin’—for its Spring harbinger behaviour, is a tri-leaf and tri-petal, rhizomous perennial that can take up to 10 years to bloom from seed. Once established, this beauty will flower annually.

I’m not a coffee drinker, but my partner is. Love his skull mug. It’s his favourite 💀☕️

Any other non-coffee drinkers out there? What’s your drink of choice?

I’m all in on herbal teas, homemade kombucha, and water 💧🫖🍾

Elegant Oregon Grape (Mahonia aquifolium) in full bloom. Wish I could smell it, but am on week 3 of the flu with little to no sniffing ability in sight.

Ah, the days of yore when florals had scents that one could enjoy 🌼
