Wow, thank you Jen. Few more years of practice to put in here before the keypad, but I truly am enjoying this new way of being creative. Thank you so much for the kind comment and for being here.
I’ve relished every opportunity to slow down this summer. Yesterday I sat in my hammock in the backyard and watched the hummingbirds on our feeder. I felt the compulsion to paint or sketch such moment it but then, I somehow just let go of that creative pressure you mentioned, and soaked in my seemingly “wasted” opportunity. And I felt so rested in that moment. I feel so validated by your story! Thanks for sharing it with us. It’s beautifully captured. I’ve never been to Nova Scotia but it sounds so dreamy
Love this. Isn’t it such a difficult response to turn off? To not even take a picture to document but to just sit in it and really soak it in for the moment that it is. Glad you got to relax into it, Ann. We are flexing new muscles! x
Read this days ago. But just discovered the voiceover option and I am enjoying it in another light. I’ll be doing this every time now. Read it. Then listen. 😍
Oh that's great to hear! I follow a few other people who also offer their voices. I like to read and listen at the same time. You're right, adds a whole different angle. Glad you enjoy. I've terrible allergies at the mo, this Summer has been brutal. Voiceovers will improve after they die down I hope :)
Thank you Deenie! I’m so chuffed you’re reading my newsletter. I thought adding the voiceover might be a fun addition and that my folks might enjoy it, glad you do too. I just saw that my dad subscribed and it made made my day:)
Beautiful!!

I’d love watching Art in Bloom, unfortunately I couldn’t figure out how to watch the series in France :(
Looks and sounds all so divine 😍
I know you'll get to experience it first-hand soon Helene!!
This is so lovely and the warmth of friendship jumps off the page! ✨
That's really lovely to hear, Jolene. Thank you for reading!
I love your writing, Helen and especially hearing your voice! ❤️
