Itβs been a while since I posted. I have been in that zone of being curious, exploring, dreaming, and creating, and what a beautiful adventure it has been so far.
You can join me for FREE on Substack to explore Integrative Art Journaling. Link is in my bio.

We stumbled upon what seemed, at first glance, a forgotten well, an echo of something that once was. As the landscape shifts around us, I find myself honoring the humble, faithful path of the snail. Slow, certain, and full of silent grace.

Itβs raining heavily here in the Pacific NW. With snow in the mountains, each raindrop in the lower elevations carry with it a chilling bite that pierces to the bone. Today is the perfect day to curl up in a blanket, drink warm tea and work on a creative project or two. Wishing you a wonderful day!
