September brought with it both the pull of routine and the invitation to pause. As the seasons began to shift, I found myself writing about slowing down, belonging, and noticing the small but significant moments that hold us steady.
As the month has closed, I’ve gathered together the month’s musings, a favourite image, and a little invitation to join me in October for a creative pause.
Posts from September
In case you missed any, here are the pieces I shared this past month:
Beyond Counting – exploring the ways we measure meaning beyond numbers.
Carrying What’s Ours – a reflection on what we carry and what we can gently set down.
The Art of the Exhale – finding release and rest in life’s pauses.
Kites, Cake, and the Winds of Well – a story of joy, celebration, and unexpected gusts.
The Badling of Belonging – reflections on flocking together, belonging, and the comfort of community.
Image of the Month
This month, I’ve chosen “Let’s Just Sit Here and Breathe” as my image of the month.
It captures something of the pause I’ve been writing about, a gentle reminder to simply be.
Upcoming Online Watercolour Session
I’d love for you to join me for my October Watercolour Session on:
📅 Monday 13th October
🕢 7:30–8:30 pm (online)
🎨 Theme: Relaxed sunset scenes & bookmark-making
It will be a calm, creative evening together. No experience is needed, just a willingness to play with watercolours. I will email paid subscribers a list of supplies and links for good purchase options.
At the end of this post, paid subscribers will find the joining link along with a link for a High-quality downloadable version of “Let’s Just Sit Here and Breathe”
As October begins, I hope you find small moments to pause, breathe, and create; whether with paint, words, or simply the turning leaves.
