🎄 Hobbies That Heal – Staff Edition (Part 3) 🎄
As we head into the Christmas season—a time that often invites us to slow down—many of us find rest and renewal by working with our hands. Creating, building, and restoring can be deeply grounding, offering space for connection, focus, and joy.
For Sean, that looks like restoring and driving antique cars.
“I have two antique cars, a 1920 Model T and a 1928 Model A. This is a hobby I learned from my father and now share with my son. Maintaining and driving old cars is fun, and it’s a living museum—an opportunity to connect with others and share how cars once were.”
For Melissa, healing comes stitch by stitch.
“My current favourite way to de-stress (that doesn’t involve my kids) is crocheting while listening to D&D real-play comedy podcasts. I’m currently working on my 4th blanket this year.”
Whether it’s preserving history or creating something warm and new, these hands-on hobbies offer a meaningful way to unwind and recharge.
Thanks, Sean and Melissa, for sharing 💛
