Hi all! I am a therapist & transformational coach by profession…I started diving into my creativity as a relief valve for my busy mind. I have been painting mostly (watercolors). The last couple of months I seem to be in a bit of a creative slump…I was wondering -if that ever happens to you guys -if it does, how do you recharge yourselves? Thank you in advance, I love this community 🙏💕🌸

My children used to make little encouragement kits and sale them at the market. They were all similar but different. I kept one that my son did in 2010

Hi everyone, I’ve been reflecting lately on what it means to live a truly "creative" life. Sometimes we think it’s about the finished product, but lately, for me, it’s about the moments in between. (Just as well because I'm not getting a lot of 'finishing' done these days!) Watching my ducks and my goose, Baby, splash in the pond and run to meet me (even if they leave a mess behind!) is something that is filling my tank right now. I love the mornings spent in quiet reflection, even when that silence is joyfully interrupted by my grandkids. 😅 It’s reminded me that we don't need a "perfect" setup to be happy. My cottage is tiny, and I’m still waiting on a kitchen, wondering if I'll ever have one, but it’s taught me that the simple things—and the people we love—are what truly feed the soul. I’d love to know: What is one "simple thing" in your home or workspace today that is bringing you joy? 🕊️
