I wanted my business cards to speak to who I am as a creative & therapist - this is the front of the card, creating with an image my dad took almost 30 years ago on film when living in northwestern Ontario.

I spent some time yesterday with the river for an upcoming creative project - the light and shadows here are so beautiful

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a raging snowstorm, and Agatha Christie novel, a crackling fire, a kettle on the stove, and a basket of emotional support pastries.

Thinking about the work that sometimes never gets posted - I have archives stretching back decades now. How do we share our work? Do we post for ourselves or for an algorithm? What gets lost in online spaces?

Morning thoughts with these images of Emily from 2014.

Hi, I’m Sarah and I’m too loud in imaginative play 🫶

It’s been suggested that kids with ADHD may receive much higher levels of criticism than their peers - those kids with ADHD grow into adults with ADHD and that criticism has a way of showing up in how we approach life, goals, dreams and the thoughts we form about ourselves. (1)

Thinking a lot lately about the spaces we grow in - how many feet walked across this forest floor? What meaning did others find in this same spot? How much time do we truly spend feeling the earth support & hold us?

Taken 7 years ago in NWO. I wonder what this spot looks like now?
