Happy Lunar New Year! I don't know about you, but here its been a rather slow start to 2022! In the second week of January the virus went through my family, and I've been struggling with fatigue ever since. I'm finally rolling out of hibernation....which actually feels much longer than just a month. If you've been following me for some time you may have noticed that for most of 2021 I was very quiet on my social channels. For the 1st time since 2008 when I started blogging and then on IG since 2011, I chose not to document every moment but rather to sit with myself in a way that was calling loudly to me. Throughout the last 2 years of the pandemic I have felt called (like many of us) to live into my roll as wife and mother more deeply. And in 2021 that's just what I did. I tried as best I could to be present for my family in new conscious ways. My kids are not little any more, I've got two teens of 17 and 14, and my baby is 9 years old! So with my oldest graduating high school next year I felt an urgency to show up in deeper ways for them. Friends, it has been so richly rewarding in ways that I am still learning.
If you are still following along I want to thank you, this creative community means so much to me and in 2022 I am SO excited to get back to painting with you in online classes and on retreats, woohoo!!
As today marks the beginning of the Lunar New Year, the year of the Water Tiger, I wanted to share an article that I found really interesting about the upcoming year, which was passed on to me by one of my besties who is my acupuncturist. Many signs point to 2022 as being an auspicious time for new beginnings, and I'm opening my arms wide to welcome this!
As part of welcoming the new year I created a gift for you, a New Year Workbook, to look back, look forward and dream big! Grab your copy here, to download for free, print it out grab a pencil and get dreaming.
