I parked my car on a neighborhood street and just watched a magnolia tree in all its splendor. Tomorrow it might rain and those petals will fall. But right now, they’re perfect.

Bright, strong, resilient — Nature’s gift of spring.

I create little tokens of appreciation and share them with strangers, because kindness deserves to be seen.

Fog will never just be fog for me.

Any colors work — bright or soft, warm or cool. Today is about celebration, not perfection.

Your grid can be as structured or as flowing as you like. The joy is in the repetition and variation.

No pressure to form shapes or patterns unless you want to. The focus is the process, not the product.

Perfection is never the aim and specificity isn’t a goal. Just 300 moments of presence.

5 minutes. It’s simple. No dings to respond to. No nervous energy about missed notifications. Simply presence.

It’s an opportunity to welcome ease into your day—just five minutes of presence in a non-filled space. A space in which we “instinctively” reach out for our phones.

When I hand a kindness keepsake to the restaurant greeter, I am not just giving him a physical item.

It’s a piece of myself.

These mixed media creations aren’t simply recycled materials … they are helping me recycle positive energy.
