Funny, the theme of this months calendar/wallpaper is Be Who You Are … and that is the same theme I picked for my 2023 calendar! It was such fun putting that together, to see the idea just begin and take hold so strongly. I think it’s a good theme for the year ahead, and I am looking forward to it!

In the turbulent world we are experiencing, HOPE is one thing I keep in the forefront. Hope is the connection we have to our Trust and Faith that the forces beyond our control or understanding, are fashioning a new world for us. I believe it is in our highest and best interest. This is my hope.

In a unrelated (to the naked eye) series of happenings in and around me, I am feeling a connection to myself and others in a new way. It’s pretty exciting and certainly very energizing!

I have discovered a new freedom of being, and it feels quite fantastic. It seemed to come suddenly, but I know that the elements of it have been at work for quite awhile. This is the beginning of something magical.

Celebrating what is right in our every day is a great way to enjoy life in every moment. This month I will practice this even more!

The warm weather is slow to arrive here, and some days I find my thoughts and actions equally slow, but not in a bad way! I am learning more and more about the beauty and power of slow, and it turns out, it works very well for me.

Sometimes I feel as slow to emerge as this spring has been. Yet I know that all things emerge in their proper time and way. I must be patient and just keep showing up. This is the best thing for me to do!

There are so many changes … seasons, locations, world, personal … and it is important to recognize and honour them all, even in some small way!

Finding joy in colouring on black paper is hard to describe. It’s as if I have discovered a previously undiscovered land.

In all the years I have been a graphic designer, and even before that, as a child who doodled on everything, I don’t think I have ever drawn on windows. Well, I have now, and it’s quite a lot of fun. This drawing on the window however, started out as purely practical.
