I almost didn't buy the pencils, but I remembered my mission, if I can spark one child's creativity, if I can help one child feel joy from art, if I can help one child feel better through art, it makes it all worth it.

Party bags for my loved ones birthday this weekend 🎉🥳🎂

Art, play, heart

I’m a What?
A witch, you say?
Let me tell you why that’s perfectly okay!
I’m filled with magic from head to toe
But things don’t just happen when I twitch my nose.
What’s that? A warty face and talking toads?
Come now, that misconception is pretty old.
Let me tell you all about the real me …
Then maybe… just maybe you will see.
My book of shadows is merely the pages of my mind.
That magic candle burning bright, that’s the light I carry inside.
My magic potion, simply put, is the love that I share.
My broomstick, how I fly – that’s my dreams drifting through the air.
The cauldron that holds my brew
Well that’s my soul, I thought you knew!
The brew that bubbles deep inside
You see that’s my spirit, I cannot hide.
So call me a witch if that’s what you want to do.
I’ll send you some love, for that’s the kind of magic that I do 😉

Raven wolf.

When I first painted the background I loathed the picture, felt like I had just begun with no experience. When I had a 2nd go I almost started new and thought no I'll see if I can make it something i like. Inspired by a piece I love on my wall, I put headphones on art music (youtube) and was inspired by a Vincent Van Gogh ad. It's not perfect, by its me (survival mode from a harshly teething baby, me), and most importantly I felt peaceful making it mine, and I smiled when it was done. 🥰
Maybe some inner child work 😉

Why Cath Artic? Well Cath Artic is my pseudonym, I want to help but without being in the public eye. I won't post face photo's.
Cathartic came to me in a dream, more specifically, when I woke up, I had the word stuck in my head repeating, and I had no idea what it meant, I googled it of course!

I did this painting, and whilst I don't think it's bad for a beginner, I just didn't find it 'Cathartic'. I have had a passion for photography since I was a teenager and won my first digital camera from a Mars bar wrapper competition! I love photographing the moon, I love portraits of family, I love family photo's, animals, especially birds, and more.

Nearly hitting the end of my third decade of life, I've found out that I get the most therapy out of writing! If I'm angry, I can write it out, what I call "ugly write" until I let every strain of it out, and I let it go. I am then able to move forward, and see the situation through the eyes of compassion, and gratitude. I'm also finding beauty in poetry!

I walk! I've always been a walker, I've started walking at the playground again while my kids play and I'm loving it, even when I'm flat, I know it's helpful for me, and they get to play too.

I hope I can inspire you to find your Catharsis! That is my entire goal with this page. I have big dreams and plans for this page, including awareness, clothing, poems and books, I hope to see and help people finding their emotional release and peace 🙏🏼

I would love if you shared your Catharsis with me in comments 🎨

*Pre read note* I have been scared to share my changes at the risk of being scrutinised or mocked, especially about dairy, but I am committed to healing my families guts, and I think people should be happy someone is really trying to help their family, rather than mask symptoms.

My biggest step in my growth this year is consumption!
After a sickness coming into our home every 2 weeks ALL DAMN YEAR, I saw an add on Facebook about a free short course and I was hooked! I've dabbled in the past in low-tox, but I knew I had to have major changes! We are so blessed to have an allergy free family, (bub is lactose intolerant), but immunity is my drive, and also mental health realistically.

Are we vegan? No, everyone (literally 😂) I've spoken to recently has heard me say "the first step to healing your gut is collagen and gelatin repairing and sealing the lining". We are mostly plant based though.

You are singing to the chior when it comes to price! I was going great, but fell out of change in our morning smoothies because of the price of frozen organic Berry mix, and tbh I'm burnt out. With sickness trying to sneak a cold back into our home, I decided to commit to the frozen mix.

I'm only human, I'm far from perfect, I make simple switches, yesterday I made the switch to organic teas. When I finish something, I buy the good choice next.

I saw this movie and that day found out beautiful Aidyn has CF, I also highly recommend it to learn more.
Please like his page ❤️

Did you know People with CF are advised not to get within six feet of each other?

Many of you may have seen the movie “Five Feet Apart,” about two CF patients advised not to get within six feet of each other. You’ll understand the title by reading the book or seeing the movie. This is because of the risk of bacterial cross-contamination in which certain bacteria (burkholderia cepacia) that only two patients with CF can give to each other. For a normal person, this bacterium is not a concern. For a CF patient, it’s devastating to the lungs.

Today was the day we decided to stop waiting for things to get better, and to have a much needed family adventure, 2 not so local parks and dinner, some desperately needed family bonding.
I put make up on, for myself, not to be reminded by the mirror of the bags that lay beneath the make-up.
A few photos, but for the rest, the phone away, just present play and time together, something all our hearts and souls needed.

Don't wait to live. Always be kind, to yourself, and others. Presence soothes the soul.

Did you know that breathing entirely through a straw emulates what it’s like to live and breathe with Cystic Fibrosis.
Try breathing entirely through a straw for 60 seconds, you will start to feel tight chested, light headed and struggle to get a good breath in. Whilst you take your mouth off that straw and feel instant relief as oxygen fills your lungs just remember that people with Cystic Fibrosis do not get that relief.

5 years later, due to my spiritual beliefs, I am no longer suffering emotional pain from my loss, however, I have a voice I need to use from my experience to help others.
I don't want anyone to be unseen or unheard or lost, I remember it.
I want anyone who has suffered a loss to have a care pack, with guidance on how they can get help, and other support.
I want the stigma gone, if you need to talk about your angel, you should be able to without judgement.

May every loss parent and relative feel seen and valid.

Feel free to share my poems, awareness is key 🔑
