Memories from the Harmony of Colours art exhibition came through today, along with some beautiful photos.

In a busy world, creativity often takes a back seat, yet art has a wonderful way of helping us pause, reflect, and see things differently. Whether you're creating, collecting, or simply admiring it, art can bring colour, calm, inspiration, and connection into our lives.

If you've ever thought about exploring your creative side but weren't sure where to start, I'd be happy to help.

Daily Rituals for Emotional Wellness in Winter. The blog is here for you to give you a step-by-step guide.

Winter is a season that encourages slowing down, shorter days, and more time spent indoors, making it a gentle reminder to support your emotional well-being with simple daily habits.
Mindful Walks

Take a short daily walk to clear your mind, improve your mood, and stay connected with nature.

Wearing colourful clothing also cheers your mood. Along with warm, nourishing, home-cooked food.

Here are few moments from the weekends Chopat game. All age groups, various cultures, children, and dogs come together here. Plus, you can see sheep, lambs, and cows wandering around too... once you are there, you think, what else could you want? It is truly refreshing.

One of my personal favourite places to present events is It has far too many good vibes... or I would say energies... that invite me and many other Aucklanders every day.

All age groups, various cultures, children, and dogs come together here. Plus, you can see sheep, lambs, and cows wandering around too... once you are there, you think, what else could you want? It is truly refreshing.

With all those reasons, and having been an Aucklander for 25+ years, I can proudly say I live in a city where Cornwall Park exists. And now I am so fortunate to sometimes present events there, connect with the team, and explore more ideas to bring our community together. 🌳

Here is a moments from yesterday's Chopat session. Delightfully, so many different cultures and age groups walked in and enjoyed the game. I am full of gratitude.

Have a fab long weekend, everyone.
