Mood #iwanttobeacat

I still remember the first day I set foot in the college, ready for an info session on Counselling. I ended up participating in an Art Therapy session that was so moving and profound that I decided to enrol for that instead.⁣ ⁣ The first picture is what I drew at that info session. The second picture is what I drew yesterday, at the end of my Transpersonal Art Therapy course.⁣ ⁣ Looking at that first picture, I still remember the feeling of anxiety and depression that consumed me. At the time I was stuck in a job that I hated. My mind was constantly swirling with ideas and weighing up options. It was killing my soul being at that job but I needed to grin and bear it because I wasn’t prepared to move back to Canada. I knew in my heart I needed to do something in the healing profession but it seemed like every road I took was blocked. Once I finished my drawing, a girl in the session looked over at my picture and said, 'wow, that looks like the start of an adventure!' It made me smile to hear that because I actually felt trapped. Yet my picture looked free, wild and exciting. The paths were vast, and I just need to choose one. So that day I did, and that path happened to be Art Therapy.⁣ ⁣ It has led me to where I am now; at the base of an epic metaphorical mountain. I'm aware of the toll it will take on me physical, spiritually and emotionally. But I also know the reward is equal in measure. There is nothing else that calls and summons me quite like this, it feels magnetic. ⁣ When one door closes, another opens. Here's to the next chapter of this journey!

Forced cuddles with Pippin! #familyportrait

Simply majestic #cloudappreciationsociety

Little by little, we let go of loss...but never of love. Honouring my sister’s birthday by admiring the beauty of nature with my partner - the squiggly strong gumtrees, waterfalls, overgrown forests, and listening to the Australian birds singing their songs. Ending the day at home cuddling our little Pippin 🧡
