Snow day here in New York. And the lighting is tricky for photos. But thought I’d share the inside mess. Perfect day, to put the finishing touches on this month’s newsletter. This month in it I open up and confess about my battle with money. 😏 Also, my new trackers to keep us building good habits for self care will be downloadable as well in it. Sign up before this Saturday as it comes out ever first Saturday of the month. Hope you have a beautiful day!

One of my favorite seasonal flowers during the winter months which brings great joy to our home, is the Amaryllis.
Honestly, if you see them in the store pick one up. You will love watching it grow day by day as it bring beauty into any room.

Doing the things that bring me #joy playing with #amaryllis #gouachepainting and #watercolor today. Great way to relax and disconnect for the afternoon. Hope you’ll do something this weekend that really brings you happiness.

I’ve been drawing these flower bouquets for people to download as a personal daily self-love ~ JOY tracker and sharing them in my newsletter which comes out the first Saturday of each month.
This practice has been helpful because I look forward to being kind to myself even if just to get the recognition a filled in petal symbolizes.
Now, I consciously seek out acts of kindness towards myself. Each time I experience a joyful moment, I fill in a petal with pen, pencil, marker, whatever is handy and watch the flower bouquet come to life.
It is also helpful because it forces me to identify throughout the day even the smallest of gestures I can do to bring joy into my life.
I hope you too can be kind to yourself even in the smallest of way.
Happy Halloween 🎃 #joyfulmovement #thingsthatbringmejoy #sketching #dailysketch #bouquetofflowers #b

Finally, today back in the garden. Just bringing in the topiary collection, but first I quick little hair cut. I’ve been working also on the newsletter for this Saturday. Sign up before then in my bio up top.
Where I’ll share more pics of yesterday’s wedding, new book I’m reading. Chores in the garden and other bits on life.
Also, note the flowers in this arrangement, well the @endlesssummerhydrangeas are such a beautiful autumn color now. Perfect to cut and bring indoors for a lovely focal point in the home. @mightynetworks began using your network to connect with friends and it’s been such a pleasure. No adds, no political negativity. Love it. Anyone interested in connecting with me feel free to join me there. ❤️ #photooftheday #thingsthatbringmejoy #chrysanthemum #cafeaulaitdahlia #gardenroses #topiary
