★ MAGIC MUSHROOMS ★
She really IS magic, to me.

I made this card for my sister’s birthday. She has been to every appointment with me, cut my food, washed my hair, and kept me laughing on the darkest days.

Through grief, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Erythromelalgia, she has been by my side.

Who’s your person who made the hard years lighter?

Thank you, my magic sister . 🙏🏼💜✨

★ THE SOUNDS OF SOUTH AFRICA ★
I made this back in 2019.
Isn’t it funny how we can get so used to noises and sounds, that they can just blend into the background.
And then when we don’t have them around us anymore, we miss and long for them.

I’m heading back to SA for a visit. I guess I’ll see how much I missed those hadedas for real.
But I already know I don’t miss the leaf blower. No one misses that sound!?! 😜

★ BIRTHDAY DOODLES ★
Bird or penguin?

★ SIMPLIFYING ★
Sometimes stripping things back to basics can be so rewarding and fun. Doodling leaf designs I’ve doodled with for decades, but elevating it with a gold pen.

Do you have a favourite?

★ THE LAST ONE BUT WITH WINGS ★
The last gremlin I drew. A way to face my fears, create funny little creatures to represent my doubts and insecurities. A picture to go with the voices in my head. And helps me to not take them too seriously.

★ MY GREMLINS ★
Another one of my gremlins. Definitely therapeutic to acknowledge and name the insecurities and fears, and I am so glad I took it further and created little characters.

How do you face your insecurities?

★ FACING FEARS ★
I drew my gremlins a while back, the voices behind my insecurities and doubts.

Instead of ignoring them, I let them have their say. Let them feel seen and heard.

They thought they were protecting me, but they mostly just hurt me now.

Drawing them as cute little gremlins made them easier to understand. And easier to thank, before kindly sending them on their way.

★ AUTUMN EQUINOX ★
I spent a beautiful evening watching the first sunset of autumn. I love hearing snippets of different conversations and languages, children laughing as they run around, dogs living their best lives as birds swoop across the changing sky.

★ THE DYING WAIT ★
An old poem I found from around 2000.

★ THERE’S ALWAYS ONE ★
This was inspired by a special friend, who goes her own way and always makes me laugh.
She reminds me to embrace who I am, to be silly and have fun.
