As you know I haven’t been hosting sip and spark in the mornings, I wanted to share a bit about why. To find a more peaceful path since returning from my trip to Costa Rica with my family I have kept the no phones in the morning. So no screens… I have been spending more time walking outside (until the snow storm that happened yesterday) Where yesterday I took a photo shoot in the snow! … but the part I want to share is I started a painting with my daughter. One that just calms me. We listen together and we colour. What calms you everyday? I’m also collaborating with someone to bring to the community. Stay tuned.

I had a phone call from my watercolour facilitator, He had a family emergency and I stepped in I didn’t have a plan, It was nerve wracking cause they were expecting An intro to watercolours course, So I just “winged it” I tossed all my old cards for inspiration And spoke about free play What a lesson to be learned, I feel as tho I could have prepared more But we had fun The sun came out Everyone made art It was good enough… Where can you give yourself little more grace?

When I started my YouTube channel, it was because I wanted to build confidence speaking to the camera and with my public speaking. My first 20 videos were cringe, I didn’t have a great camera or know anything about editing. Many, many videos and takes later, I have stuck with it. I spoke with Steve in MM Last December when they were growing their YT to increase their subscribers to 10k. I decided that I want to stick with it, and hit the next milestone, which was 300 subs. And…. Even though it didn’t happen in December. I did it!! Whaaaat?! So, as I turn 40 tomorrow, I give myself a pat on the back. I am finding my people online, building my community. And I can’t be anymore grateful. Thanks, everyone, for infusing the supportive vibe this mama needed to be bold. What are you proud of today, so we can celebrate together.
