Fun craft night to kick off 2026.
Big thanks to Kenneway for hosting 💛
We created punch cards as a playful way to stay accountable throughout the year. There’s something powerful about turning goals into something tactile and creative.

My 2026 goals include:
Reading the stack of books on my nightstand
Committing to writing four grants
Spoiling myself with spa days throughout the year
Decluttering my apartment, one marked-off area at a time using a floor plan

Starting the year with creativity, connection, and intention feels just right ✨

More magic from today’s workshop at Colonel Belcher.
Using bleeding tissue to create unexpected canvases, I watched seniors and support workers settle into a gentle state of flow. Colour led the way, with black marks added to deepen and anchor the movement. Proof that when we let go, creativity knows exactly where to go.

Last night’s workshop at Colonel Belcher was magic.
Pastels, ink, and stencils layered into textured pieces and even more beautiful moments.
There is something so special about watching seniors play.
Curiosity softens, hands explore, stories surface.
A quiet reminder that creativity doesn’t fade with age. It waits to be invited in.

Being mindful of where I focus my energy led me to play with an activity called Follow the Object. A practice of letting go, trusting the materials, and allowing the artwork to reveal itself as the marks find their own way.

Wrapping up the year with a travel adventure to Mexico City gave me the chance to do one of my favorite things: wandering the city and capturing incredible street art, where creativity spills into everyday urban spaces and adds unexpected flair.

What’s one thing you did this year to enhance your mental health? This is mine.

Today has been a roller coaster of emotions, so I made a point to create my own micro moments that spark peace and joy.

Took a walk to drop off a few wee care packages for some of the unhoused folks in the neighbourhood, and wrapped up the outing with a little nature heart craft. 💛🌿
