Happy Monday 👋🏼 Here is an exercise for you! Back burner / front burner: Make a list of all the tasks and projects you have going on right now and sort them into 2 categories. Front burner is what’s immediate, what needs your attention right today/this week. Back burner is what you can set aside for later this season/later this year. A simple way of cultivating mental clarity and practice prioritizing ✨
I’ve recently went to see Inside Out 2 and felt like they did such a good job at representing anxiety. Stress is something we all experience at one point or another. Life is full of stressors, and sometimes our inner world can add more stress than necessary. We don’t have control over how much stress comes into our lives but we do have control over how we respond to it. As we approach the beginning of a new week: ✨ what is one thing you can do right now ✨ what is one thing you can allow yourself to drop For me talking in my reels has been something I’ve been putting off (so there you go, first one ✅) and this week I’ve placed a few projects on the back burner.

Out of the office and off social media 👋🏼 If you need me I’ll be checking my emails from time to time and back in the office the 27!
Pick a card, any card 🍓✨ & Let me know in the comments! These cards are ✨my interpretation✨ of the tarot’s major arcana. Being someone who learns by doing, making time to be with each card and create my own version has helped me understand the major arcana and make my own associations. For the rest of the deck, I might do one suit at a time or all 4 simultaneously one number at a time. 👀 We shall see! 👀
It’s already the last week of my art show at @whiterabbit.coffeeco (321 Selby St A, Nanaimo, BC V9R 2R4). If you don’t want to miss it, you have until April 8th. ☕️✨
Happy Equinox 🌱✨ The Equinox marks the first day of Spring, and a balance between day and night. This may be a time where you will feel the tensions of light and dark as we continue to slowly shift towards longer and longer days. Ways to celebrate and reflect: 🌱 what light do you want to invite in your life? 🌱 how is the light within you looking like? 🌱 what do you want to cultivate this Spring?
