Creating a cozy, welcoming home filled with colour, art, plants, pets and love.

Taking care of who and what is in my life so they are healthy, happy and last a long time.

Working with children and being with animals. I feel this in my soul and have had peers confirm my authentic joy when supporting students with unique needs in schools. As well as any time I spend with animals. My energy reads safe and approachable for them.

Organizing spaces. I’m a minimalist. I can’t stand clutter and disorganization. There is a place for everything and everything has a place.

Cooking and baking. Sometimes I make tasty dishes, other times epic fails – but I do enjoy those snowy, cozy winter afternoons after all the housework is done and I create, cook/bake something tasty that fills our cozy home with delicious scents of spices and love.

Self-care. I start with myself then move out from there. I allow myself me time to be creative and nurture my soul. I eat relatively healthy and get the sleep I need. I take care of my mental, physical and spiritual health with therapy, exercise and a 12-Step program for my alcoholism.

I can’t give to others if I am an empty vessel.

S, 🌻
