Cultivating inner strength is closely linked to practising self-compassion, treating yourself with the same kindness and understanding you would offer a good friend.
Embrace your imperfections and learn to accept your vulnerabilities.

Growing resilience is to bounce back from difficult experiences, adapting to challenges and moving forward with inner strength rather than being overwhelmed by them.

This picture is a reminder that the stronger the roots grow the better the overall growth of the plant because a robust root system provides a stable foundation, absorbs more water and nutrients, and contributes to better yields of flowers and fruits.

These past few weeks have been marked by significant personal and artistic development for some of my clients.

Learning patience, exploring the dynamic between positive and negative imagery, and transforming chaos into beauty are all integral to the creative journey in my studio.

Through our artistic process, we craft a story that reveals insights about ourselves and adds valuable life lessons.

If you look well enough you can take a positive lesson from almost anything in life.

Blessings

She thoroughly enjoyed experimenting with novel techniques, pushing limits, and refining fine motor skills. My client was completely engaged throughout the process, and both of us were surprised by how quickly the session concluded. Excellent work!

Its been very quiet on the Spectrum
Page while we are navigating through tough life events and the new normal. While I am not saying much I still observe intently. I feel like a fish in a fishbowl navigating through the storm inside caused by someone rocking the bowl heavily and me looking out to see people looking in. Empathetic, caring, loving, gracious people wanting to help. But they can’t do much other than lovingly putting me back into the fishbowl when I accidentally slip out with some water that spills. 
Being in the studio with my lovely clients keeps me grounded and attach me to reality. It is the world where only we exist.
Thank you to each one of them and their support workers for being patient with me. I promise I will do better.

Neuroplasticity:
This term refers to the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural pathways throughout life.

Formation of new pathways:
When you learn a new skill, neurons in your brain form new connections and strengthen existing ones, creating new pathways for information to travel.

My client thoroughly enjoyed learning to work with a sewing machine. Together we creared this lovely bag from an old denim jean. Then we added some hand sewing in the form of relatively easy embroidery stitches.

May you have many happy outings with your beautiful bag dearest L. X
