Lens-Artists Challenge #401 | Focus

The challenge theme this week is focus, an awesome challenge with new growth in Spring, early summer that has graced us with its presence lately.

I shared yesterday on my blog that we recently gotContinue reading “Lens-Artists Challenge #401 | Focus”

Thoughtful Thursday Photo & Words | #4

I created this challenge for the conscious stream of words and photos that align. This past weekend I was faced with what was at first a potential serious issue, that quickly rose into something no one wants to ‘deal’ with. One that sadly triggered something deep within me. Death itself, but also this was alsoContinue reading “Thoughtful Thursday Photo & Words | #4”

Rituals for Mental Clarity and Spiritual Growth

When looking for inspiration, I’ve learned its always best to turn inward. The past week has had some heaviness for me, a sense of repeating from some of the hardest years of my life, yet amongst that I am being conscious of my deep down needs, limiting outside “noise” and allowing quiet to fill myContinue reading “Rituals for Mental Clarity and Spiritual Growth”

Mama’s Boy

He knows when to pose, he knows the looks, he knows the stance. He knows me. He knows when mama is overwhelmed, he loves harder. He loves his kids with everything in him. He is full of love, excitement and naps. He is gentle AF with our parrot, but is confused what a cat is.Continue reading “Mama’s Boy”

Navigating Grief Through Intuition and Oracle Cards

I felt inspired on my way home today, an idea came into my mind and suddenly I had a beautiful urge to get home and get outside with my camera. As I stood outside in the snow, with my camera, looking at the trees and snow, I began thinking about it, in a sense gettingContinue reading “Navigating Grief Through Intuition and Oracle Cards”

Full Moon – December 4/5 2025

There is a very strong pull within of a shift that is actively happening, pulling us towards the energy of the new year. I learned this year, 2025 is a 9 year, endings, transformation, reflections, completions etc. Whereas we are walking into a 1 energy with 2026. New fresh energy, a clearing of a newContinue reading “Full Moon – December 4/5 2025”

How to Survive November 2025 | 22

Today’s inspiration is from our hydrangea tree from our front entrance. We have one on each side, they offer a beautiful pop of bright white, and a soothing pink in the fall. With the snow on the petals, the roundness of the plant, the petals, leaves and even the snow! We’ve been lucky to haveContinue reading “How to Survive November 2025 | 22”

How to Survive November 2025 | 19

2025 has been a journey, one where I can admit I self sabotaged on me many times. Blame it on overwhelm and exhaustion after years of caring for other family members, with on going worry and giving up on me, doing the bare minimum to get by. Again, my gratitude for this challenge that isContinue reading “How to Survive November 2025 | 19”
