"Feed yourself, art yourself, breath yourself, laugh yourself, rest yourself." - Glennon Doyle
Mo chara,

Sketchbook Revival is Here
I'm thrilled to share something I've been working on: Sketchbook Revival - a gentle invitation back to the simple, profound act of creating.

My journals have been my lifeline this month, which brings me to something more personal I want to share.
About That Relapse
The rest of this newsletter contains a vulnerable reflection on a recent relapse.
I choose to share my most intimate truths with paid subscribers as a way of honouring both the depth of what I'm offering and the boundaries I need around this level of personal sharing.
If these kinds of honest conversations resonate with you & you’d like my weekly invitations to deeper work yourself, I'd love to have you join the community of readers generously supporting this work.
