I'm thrilled to announce that "Your Imprint Rewritten" is launched! It's been a labor of love, truly.

This isn’t simply a retelling of the book. It’s a guide for how to make the insights of "The Imprint" real.
I've created activities, reflections, practice exercises, and even guided audio to develop a course catered to those looking for change.
This is for those of you who want guidance, not just reflection. Those ready to move, not just understand.

Inside "Your Imprint Rewritten," you’re not left alone with the ideas. Throughout all 12 modules - throughout the many weeks of practice - my voice will be there. In video, audio, and written word. A constant guide for you in the way real change tends to happen…over time.

And if you find you want to talk things through one-on-one, we can do that too.

This course was built with care, time, and with deep respect for how hard this work can be. And I'm proud to finally be able to offer it.

Available in my online store. 🖤

The cold and crisp of the day have helped the sculptures stay pristine, even in the sun. 🖤🕸️And I’ve seen some great sculptures this year. Here’s mine. A nod to many things 😉
It’s a great reason to bundle up and head out!

I am thrilled to have received an overwhelming response to my request, and so am closing this offer to further applicants. Thank you to everyone who expressed support and interest! 😍

I’m looking for *one* woman willing to walk slowly and honestly through Your Imprint Rewritten Self-Study course. Not to rush the material, but to live intentionally within it.

This is a 12-module self-study course and I'm pairing it with 12 private session - one a month over the course of this year - where we’ll talk through what the work is stirring, uncovering, and shaping. The sessions are not therapy and not coaching, but rather reflective guidance focused on pattern recognition, inherited narratives, and the work of choosing differently.

I’m offering this at a private mentorship rate in exchange for genuine engagement and thoughtful feedback.

This is intended for someone who is in a season where they have the time and desire to engage fully with the self-study exercises. The course tends to resonate most with people who reflect deeply and intentionally, and who are curious about what shaped them. And, of course, someone ready and willing to do the hard work with what they’re ready to reshape.

If this feels like the right time, reach out. Send me a message with a few lines about why this work is calling to you.

One commitment. One year. One honest body of work.

Don’t forget to stroll and see all the cool Nutcrackers this weekend. And if you find a fav, you can make it yours by bidding on it! I definitely have a few favs, and totally love to see the creativity alive and well in our community. 🖤

A goal for you as we begin our inward review and tend to our selves in anticipation of the coming new year.

I am teaching myself how to take up space. How to not apologize constantly for the way I live and breathe. How an apology isn’t something I am supposed to say before I speak in a conversation. How I’m so sorry, isn’t something I have to say before I just allow myself the basic right of speaking about anything.

I am teaching myself that I am allowed to exist on this planet without thinking of myself as a burden. How to not apologize for things that are out of my control. How to understand when people are trying to manipulate me into thinking the worst of myself and most of all how to stop thinking the very worst of myself as I deserve better than that from myself.

I am teaching myself that humans can exist without assuming the very worst about themselves and how the people around them perceive them. How to not apologize when someone bumps into me and I immediately assume it is my fault. How to not apologize when I ask a question because I think others will think I am stupid. How to love myself for these flawed bits of me no one has ever wanted to love before.

I am teaching myself that all the lies my abusers told me about myself were so very wrong. How I am allowed to make mistakes. How as long as I apologize and amend things, anything is fixable if I still have love in my heart for the other person. How not everything that has ever gone wrong in every relationship is my fault.

I am finally learning how to take up space as a human being. It’s taken a long, long road to get here. And I still have a very long way to go before I am done understanding that it is my job to take up space, that I am not just an afterthought or a secondary character in this gift of life I have been given. That who I am is not an apology, that who I am is not wrong. ~Nikita Gill

The DCA Nutcracker Stroll and Auction starts tomorrow. This year, I colored outside the lines so to speak, choosing to create a guardian that I feel fully (front and back!) embodies the mood of the season.
The Grovekeeper - as I have named him - will be displayed starting tomorrow along with this season’s other nutcrackers around town. I hope you enjoy them all! ❄️

The autism news has brought me back to some of the conversations I had in my book regarding mother blame. We really do keep repeating life, don't we.
