Unlocking Creativity: Celebrating Milestones in Life

Creativity· Poetry· Uncategorized

21 Jan

There is so much beauty in the wonderment of beginnings!

When I decided to step away from my profession as a Counsellor in 2014, I began to discover other ventures my heart was compelled to explore. 

With the luxury of time, that wasn’t tethered to any predetermined outcome, I knew my heart was granted a sacred gift. Time. Time to learn, time to grow, time to begin again. Time is a sacred gift. ♥

I began to write. Words formed from an internal source that I can only describe as a place divine. They flowed through me. When we allow ourselves to be still, we become open to all possibilities. The universe inspires. We just need to listen.

So much has happened in 10 years, and I’m celebrating this milestone with a grateful heart. I haven’t shared a poem via a blog post in a long time. I don’t really know why. But this year I’m celebrating that spark, celebrating the beginning that transformed my life in monumental and wondrous ways. I’m so grateful that you’re here, too. ♥

If something sparks an interest in you… Explore it. Embrace it. Relish the gift of curiosity and treat yourself to the wonder of it. TIP: Please don’t overcomplicate the process of learning; it can be self-defeating.

Creativity inspires Creativity. It truly does. I share my journey on my About page. If you’d like to stop by and share your experiences with creativity and what inspires you, please do so. I’d love to connect and celebrate with you.

With a heart wide open, just begin. It’s a precious and spectacular journey! ♥

The first poem in this soul surrendering celebration of creativity is One-Way Ticket. xo

As a multi-passionate creator my heart is rooted in storytelling, self-expression, and soulful connection. This space is a celebration of creativity in all its forms. Creativity, for me, is more than expression—it is transformation. It is how we return to ourselves. Whether you’ve arrived here for a spark of inspiration, a moment of peace, or a sense of belonging—I welcome you!

As a multi-passionate creator my heart is rooted in storytelling, self-expression, and soulful connection. I’m a writer of poetry that journeys the deep emotional landscapes of life—the vulnerability and valour of the soul.
My creativity extends beyond the page. I love creating soothing, sweet melodic melodies. Where the silence between the notes soothes the soul, and the tenor and tone seem to transcend time. I find comfort and joy in the art of crochet, and the free artistic expression of graphic design—each medium offering a unique way to inspire, uplift, and connect with others on their own creative journeys.
Nature is my sanctuary. In its tranquil beauty and quiet wisdom, I find restoration, reflection, and a deeper connection to the soul. It’s where I return to breathe, to listen, and to simply be.
This space is a celebration of creativity in all its forms. Creativity, for me, is more than expression—it is transformation. It is how we return to ourselves. Whether you’ve arrived here for a spark of inspiration, a moment of peace, or a sense of belonging—I welcome you!
