CPTSD and disenfranchised grief know how to imbalance my wellbeing & mindful living, often & without notice. Pairing spiritual practices such as Tao, QiGong, Reiki, Yoga & Pilates with sensory practices such as photography & contemporary crafting, has allowed me to form a healthy, continually evolving, creative coping alchemy.
Why share this? When my health shifted & I could no longer remain in the workforce, I had no idea how to redefine my life. This site is a visual journal for me, of moving forward even when it doesn't feel like I am. Sharing the creative and mindful activities I use for surviving & thriving may open a door for someone else in the process of enhancing their own coping toolbox.
You are welcome to follow my blog or Instagram as I explore, express & evolve from a place of simplicity, patience & compassion.
Sincere gratitude to Helpful Changes, Special Olympics, Ideal-Way, LHSC, Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, Autism Ontario London Chapter, London Abused Women’s Centre, Fanshawe's CICE Program, UWO, Children's Aid Society, PPOC, Anova and JENN Photography for their years of goodwill.
