Dearest Reader, Wow! I just realised I’ve facilitated the 50th live session for the Permission to Play members group. Goodness knows we NEED change! If you have been around for a while, you will know that I started the Permission to Play Members Group after witnessing the pure joy that came from making art together in a community group. Not the **follow all the steps, and everyone gets the same result sort of group**, but the **wow, I feel safe, secure, ready to slowly move outside my comfort zone and start to find out who exactly I am** group. Until soon. With Kindness, PS: If you don't already know, when you sign up, you get two weeks FREE in the group and a live call to see if it's the vibe you want. Recently, one of the wonderful members shared some very lovely words on our call, which you can watch and listen here. If you are unsure if it's the right thing for you, let me know what is holding you back from joining and let me help you decide if it is right for you xox |

If this were physical health, we’d notice the signs and feel justified in resting. But with mental health, society tells us to keep going, to stay busy, to “manage...
Follow the sun... Reader, do you ever notice how, when a new month begins on the same day a season changes, there’s a different energy in the air? Perhaps it’s the nature of newness, the possibility of beginning again, or simply the gentle reminder that this is an opportunity to finally do one thing you’ve been putting off. Here in Australia, we’re moving into spring. I have a love/hate relationship with spring: I love the blooms, the sun warming the back of my neck, the way flowers pop up...
I recently splurged on a new brush pen Reader. If you have been following along for a while, you will know that I used to have #allthepens before I moved to focus on found and handmade tools. I love nothing more than creating unique and random tools out of found objects and materials. Recent things I have written and made marks with include: - Aluminium cans - Sticks - Leaves - Toilet rolls - Pegs - Toy dinosaurs - Packaging foam - Nerf bullet (sorry kids) - Bamboo - Sting - Rocks - Spoons -...
