If you could only choose one, which would it be?
There’s no need to overthink it. Go with what catches your attention first, what feels important today, or even the answer that makes you think, “Huh. I didn't expect that.”

Self-discovery isn't always about uncovering some huge hidden truth. Sometimes it's about collecting the tiny pieces of information that help us understand ourselves more deeply. And remember, what you choose today doesn't have to be what you choose tomorrow. We change. Our circumstances change. What matters to us can change too.

We notice, and we stay open.

So, what ones did you choose today?

Sometimes, the thing that triggers our anger isn't the whole story.
It might be the straw that broke the camel's back, an old wound that's been touched, a boundary that's been crossed or a value that's been overlooked.
Anger is information. It can tell us that something matters, that a need isn't being met or that something deserves our attention.
When the immediate intensity has passed, taking time to explore our anger can help us understand what's beneath the initial reaction. Through creative expression, reflection or simply giving ourselves space to think, we can begin to recognise patterns, identify our needs and discover what matters to us.
Rather than asking how to get rid of our anger, what if we asked what it's trying to tell us?
Anger and aggression aren't the same thing. We can acknowledge and explore our anger without directing it at ourselves or others. And in understanding where it comes from, we can make more conscious choices about what we do next.
Sometimes, the most useful thing we can do is stay curious and see what's underneath.
What might your anger be trying to tell you?
We notice, and we see where it might have come from.

If you could only choose one, which would it be?
There’s something interesting about the choices we make when we have to pick between two things we value. Sometimes the answer is obvious. Sometimes it makes us stop and think. Sometimes we surprise ourselves.

There’s no right answer here. Your values are personal, and knowing what matters to you can help you understand yourself, your choices, and what you need.

We notice, and we get curious.

So, what ones did you choose today?

What happens when we give ourselves permission to spend a little time with anger?
Once the intensity has passed and we've had a chance to catch our breath, we can return to what we experienced and explore it with a little more curiosity. What triggered it? Where did we feel it? What did it bring up for us? And has anything changed since?
Our emotions deserve to be witnessed and acknowledged, not just managed or pushed aside. Making space to revisit them can help us feel heard, understand our experiences and recognise what we might need, or in the case of anger, what boundary might have been crossed.
Getting to know ourselves takes time and sometimes it starts with something as simple as sitting down with a page, some colour and a willingness to spend time with our emotions.
Then we might be able to start asking, " What is my anger trying to tell me”?
We notice, and we spend time with it.

If you could only choose one, which would it be?
Sometimes, choosing between two things can tell us more about ourselves than we expect. Our values influence what matters to us, the choices we make, our behaviours and the actions we take.
There are no right or wrong answers here. No prize for choosing the “better” one. Just your choice, today. Because tomorrow, it might change.
We notice, and we acknowledge it.
So, which ones did you choose today?

What colour is anger? 😡🎨

We asked 5 people to choose a colour that represents anger to them, and the results remind us that while emotions are universal, how we experience and express them is entirely individual.

Sometimes we might all see red. Other times, our emotions might show up in a whole rainbow of colours. Our circumstances, experiences and even our energy levels can influence how we feel.

There's no right or wrong answer. This is simply an invitation to pause, get curious and notice what anger looks and feels like for us.

What colour is YOUR anger? Is it one colour, or many? Is it always the same? Does it change depending on who or what you are angry at?

We notice, and we acknowledge it.

Click to pause and get your focus for the month. ✨

Each month, we’re going to give ourselves something to notice. Because self-awareness isn’t about figuring everything out. It starts with noticing. Noticing your body, your emotions, your urges, your triggers, what keeps coming up, and what matters to you.

This is just a no-pressure prompt to begin paying more attention to your life, even the most mundane things. A chance to practise living in the present moment, slow down, get curious, and notice what’s happening both within you and around you.

So... what did you get?

A little update! 🎉

I have given my Art For Your Soul Colouring Journal: Half-Mandalas a complete refresh using everything I have learned since studying graphic design.

The artwork you already know and love is still there, but the cover, typography, journal pages, and overall design have all been thoughtfully updated to create a much nicer experience, with a couple new half-mandalas added in for good measure.

The new version is now live on Amazon!

Art For Your Soul colouring journals are more than colouring books. They are quiet spaces to slow down, breathe, and gently explore your inner world through colour, creativity, and reflection. As your attention settles onto the page, your mind has an opportunity to soften, your body begins to re...

Incognito Art Show with Carleen Face and Body Artist and my BumbleBee looking at all the art. Mine is in here somewhere, sans sparkles because it was hidden in the dark but that's ok, it will be a nice surprise for whoever buys it.

Most people think meditation means sitting still, clearing your mind, and somehow not thinking about the 42 other things demanding your attention.

For some of us (me! *points at self like a maniac*), that is not relaxing. It is torture.

My Art For Your Soul colouring journals were created for people who need to move, make, doodle, colour, write, fidget, and think their way into reflection.

The process is simple:

✨ Set an intention
🎨 Colour the page
🌝 Round the corners
🖊️ Journal your insights

There is no pressure to colour inside the lines.
There is no pressure to make it beautiful.
There is no pressure to create something worthy of putting on social media.

In fact, some of the most meaningful pages I do are messy.

Because life is messy.

My thoughts are definitely messy.

And we all know growth is messy.

Sometimes we need a space and permission to show up as we are, put some colour or marks on a page, and see what comes out.

I created these journals for people, like me, who struggle with traditional meditation, for people who need to feel productive in order to give themselves permission to slow down, and for people who want a creative way to explore their thoughts and experiences.

I also know money is tight, so while the full book is in my Amazon shop, you can get a MINI version for just $5 on my website. Each one comes with 2 images to colour and 2 journal pages, along with instructions and a title page that you can colour in as well just for the fun of it.
