I just want to take a moment to say how grateful I am to each of you for joining this space. Thank you for being here at the very beginning — it truly means more to me than I can say. This community has been created with so much care, and knowing that you’ve chosen to step into it feels incredibly special. A Smidgen of Calm is a gentle place to create, reflect, and rest — without pressure, comparison, or expectation. Whether you’re here quietly observing or actively creating, you are equally welcome. Please take your time to explore. There’s no rush, no catching up, and no “right” way to be part of this space. I hope it becomes somewhere you can return to when you need a little calm, creativity, or connection. Thank you again for being here and trusting this space. I’m so glad we’re here together. With so much gratitude, Kate 🤍🌿

I’m learning that home isn’t always a physical place. Home is where your mind feels most at ease, and where the people around you help create that sense of comfort and safety. There are times when my creative mind is full of ideas and eagerness, but my mental or physical body isn’t able to keep up. That can be a deeply frustrating place to be — wanting to create, but not having the capacity to do so in the way you’d hoped. In those moments, I’m reminding myself that doing one small thing is enough. Even simply noticing something — a colour, a feeling, a moment of stillness — counts as action. And that, in itself, is a win.
