Creativity isn’t just about making things — it’s about making space. Especially on low-energy or emotionally heavy days, creative work becomes a gentle form of care, reflection, and expression.

A gentle look at how creativity can become a grounding, mindful ritual. From lighting a wax melt to doodling in bed, I share how small intentional practices help me reconnect—and invite you to reflect on your own creative rhythms.

Threads of Thought began as a set of 12 illustrations for a calendar, each one inspired by quotes from female authors in the public domain. These quotes are ones I personally return to — reminders to slow down, breathe, and take care of my wellbeing.
