Sometimes the things we're carrying need a different way out.
Creativity was one of those outlets for my mom. Watching her reminded me that creativity doesn't have to be about being artistic - it can simply be about expressing, exploring, and making space for what we're carrying.
This collection includes creative prompts, projects, and ideas designed to help you reflect, release, and reconnect with yourself. No experience required - just curiosity and a willingness to begin where you are.
Please enjoy a few of my mom's beautiful creations.
Her art studio was her sanctuary - a place she could go after a long day to unwind, clear her mind, and let the creative juices flow. Whether she was working with resin, sea glass, or a new idea that sparked her interest, creating brought her joy. In many ways, her light shines through each piece she created.
It felt only fitting to share some of her work here, alongside other ways we can express ourselves, process what we're carrying, and find a little peace in the process.
I've always considered myself a creative person, but not very artistic. Through my healing journey I discovered watercolor painting and really enjoyed the process of slowing down and creating something.
Andrea Nelson Art has very easy to follow, step-by-step tutorials teaching you how to make beautiful pieces as well as ones that are simply to occupy your mind. Some days when my brain just needs to rest or reset, I pull up one of her videos and it relaxes me every time!
