Everyone has a unique creative spark waiting to be ignited. What's Yours?

03/30/2026

So many of us have an inner voice that is quick to judge, criticize, or point out where we’ve fallen short. But what if, instead of being harsh, we chose to be kind?

Self-compassion is about holding yourself with care while you grow. What if you spoke to yourself the way you would to someone you deeply love?

Self-compassion invites us to remember that imperfection is part of being human and to meet ourselves with understanding instead of shame.

✨ You are allowed to be a work in progress. ✨ You are allowed to make mistakes. ✨ You are still worthy, exactly as you are.

This week, notice your inner dialogue, and gently choose kindness 💕

Happy Friday folks! Hope you all had a good week. Some things that gave me a chuckle this week 😂 What’s in your saved folder?

When we come together — whether in a writing group, collage class, or painting circle — we tap into something ancient and healing through the power of a shared experience.

It’s back!! What’s in my saved folder?

With a lunar eclipse and mercury retrograde this week, some these I couldn’t resist. Also we could all use a little more laughter in these crazy times we’re living in.

Have an amazing weekend friend!! 💕

What are your self-love practices? I’d love to hear from you. Leave me a comment or dm 💕

Self-love isn’t about bubble baths and positive affirmations though those can be lovely.

It’s about the quiet, courageous practice of treating yourself with compassion especially when you fall short. It’s about setting boundaries without apology.
 It’s about challenging the voice that says “not enough” and replacing it with something gentler, truer.

Your worth is never something you have to earn.
 It is never dependent on productivity, perfection, or pleasing others.

It’s inherent.

When you begin to live from that place, everything shifts, your relationships, your decisions, and your resilience.

Take a moment to ask yourself: Where could I offer myself a little more kindness this week? 💕

The magic of Expressive Arts isn’t in doing one thing. It’s in the shift in between. From movement to sound. From image to words. From sensation to meaning.
 Healing happens when we give space to express what can’t always be spoken. This is how humans have survived for millennia. Through rhythm, movement, story, ritual, and creative expression.

Has the creative process ever surprised you or supported you in a hard moment? I’d love to hear your experience below ⬇️

Creative community matters. Not just creating on our own, but coming together, to write, paint, move, share, and be witnessed.

I recently shared a blog post on The Power of Creative Community and wanted to bring the conversation here, too. While I’m taking a pause from Firepot workshops and groups, I’m very much still here. And, I’m listening. As I look ahead to fall and beyond, I’d love to know:
 What kinds of creative spaces are you craving right now? Writing? Painting? Movement? Music? Something playful or unexpected?
Your voice helps shape what comes next.

Tell me in the comments what kind of creative community you want to be part of. Or DM me if you’d rather share privately. You can also read the blog & leave a comment there. Link in bio.

So many people carry the belief: “I’m not creative.”

But creativity isn’t about being good at art or knowing how to draw. It’s a process. It’s how we solve problems, adapt, imagine, and find our way through change.

If you’ve ever made a difficult decision, navigated uncertainty, or reimagined your life in any way, you were using your creativity.

Creativity is honest expression, free from judgment. And, when we give ourselves permission to explore, play, and get curious, we create space for new possibilities to emerge.

Your creative spark isn’t missing. It’s already there, waiting to be nurtured.

What’s one way creativity shows up in your life that you’ve never named as creative before?

One of the most powerful ways to experience a sense of belonging is through creative community and gathering with others to create, write, paint, and express freely.

Happy Holidays everyone! After today you won’t see me on here again until mid-January. I’m taking an extended winter break this year.

It’s been a year of a lot of change. 2025 turned out to be nothing what I thought it would be. For most of the first half of the year all I could think was “WTF?!?!?!”.

But, as the second half of the year has unfolded, with some of it crazy intense, it has also brought so many good things into my life.

I wrote a book and now writing is pretty much all I want to do with my time. I moved into a new place with a yard & I plan to get a dog in the spring. Things I have been wanting for a very long time. And, now I have the opportunity to spend a month resting, recovering and reimagining a new future.

I am excited for 2026. It’s the year of the Cloud Dancing Fire Horse (I may have stolen that from a friend not on insta)
☁️💃🔥🐴

So if you’ve had a rough 2025, I’m right there with you. And, I’m cheering us all on for brighter days ahead in 2026!
