Wintering 2025

Winter in the city

Back in Ontario things are different than PEI

I miss nature a lot

I miss the silence, 

the slow pace

 I miss the sounds and sights of PEI nature

but 

I don't mind the change all

I embrace each moment

After going through Breast Cancer I am grateful for everything and I don't complain about things anymore

I feel a lot

I have a lot of emotions but I don't complain

It's a gift from God to live each day 

Count your blessings

 I would like to read: 

"Wintering The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times"

by Katherine May

It's on my Amazon Wish list. I would like to buy that book and read it. 

What book are you reading at the moment? 

This is my  "Some Lines a Day" five year journal.

I finished one year of it in PEI and now I am in the second year. It is wonderful to see what happened the year before when I write a few lines daily. Total appreciation for this Journal.

I have a few pen pals and love sending cards to them. 

I look forward to hearing their news. Snail mail is fun.

I enjoy product reviews. This one is from Butterly.

I kindly won this beautiful necklace from TOCARA on IG. 

Thank you so much I love it! 

I am trying out FIELD sketchbook 

At first I wasn't that happy about it but I am starting to enjoy this paper. 

I will show you more of my art process on my YOUTUBE channel soon. 

Feel free to subscribe to my channel if you like. 

My hubby sends me photos from work

Usually having to do with the weather. 

I love city images. 

 

I enjoy creating collages on Canva. 

This is my 2025 outlook.

Auggie 

He is a sweetheart of a cat

Always likes to wake me up if I am sleeping on the couch. 

I think he wants to make sure I am okay.

Thank you all for reading my blog post.

 

I hope you are all well and doing okay this winter. 

I pray that the Lord blesses you and keeps you healthy and safe. God Bless you all!

Inspiration & Creativity During the Winter Months

 

It's a huge challenge for me when January comes around to keep motivated and inspired to make art and keep my creative spark going. But little steps at a time helps. It's not everyday but It is small steps that help bring in the flow of creativity and inspiration.

How about you? 

My husband bought me a new watercolour set and I've been enjoying using this and it's been a lot of fun. 

This is a little junk journaling and I really enjoyed using gold leaf, wax and sparkle paint on this page. 

Sometimes a little bit of something creative can bring more inspiration and productivity around.  Even when we are feeling down it's good to take little steps and move forward. I hope you are all well my friends. January is very challenging time for me and I am trying to not scroll on the phone. I find the less time on my phone the better I feel. Just keep active with anything other than your phone. A good balance is important. Live life to the fullest! 

Love, Peace and Blessings your way!

Lot's of Positivity and Love
