☀️ August isn’t the end of summer… it’s summer’s encore. 🌺💃

Just because the calendar says August
doesn’t mean the sun has packed its bags.
There are still warm nights, summer’s breeze,
bare feet, beach days & flowers that refuse to quit. 🌸

So turn up the colour, soak up the light,
and dance like summer still has plenty of chapters left to write. ✨

Summer isn’t over. Not even close. 💗

The Stairwell

The building was empty when I arrived.
The buzzing lights were already on.
And the stairs weren’t there yesterday.

It may look like paper, but within it is more than a nest.
It holds fear, purpose, resilience, and the instinct to protect what matters most.
Sometimes what we fear isn’t dangerous until we choose to disturb its peace.

Top of the morning to ya! 🍓🫐🍌

I don’t usually take pictures of my food, but this morning I looked down at my breakfast and thought, “You know what… this actually looks pretty!”

Maybe it’s because I come from an art background. I studied Fine Arts, where we often worked from still life subjects. Over the years, it’s trained my eye to notice textures, contrast, colours, composition, and even the beauty of negative (empty) space. Sometimes the simplest everyday things can become a work of art when you really stop and look.

As I was quickly putting this breakfast together, I was craving strawberries… only to realize I didn’t have any fresh ones. Then I remembered I had a bag of freeze-dried strawberries in the pantry. Problem solved! 🍓

Freeze-dried fruit may be a little more expensive, but it’s incredibly versatile. I use it in cereal, yogurt, baking, and I’ve even crushed it into a powder and sprinkled it over whipped cream on coffee. It’s absolutely delicious!

On a completely different note… after I took this photo, Instagram decided to show me an IKEA ad making fun of people who photograph their food. 🤣 I have no idea how it knew I had literally just done that, but the ad was actually pretty funny. I’ll repost it to my Stories because it gave me a good laugh.

That said, I have a whole new appreciation for professional food photographers. What most of us do is snap a quick overhead photo before we eat. What they do is an entirely different world. Behind those beautiful food advertisements is a combination of science, art, lighting, styling, composition, and a whole lot of patience. It’s far more involved than simply standing on a chair and pointing your camera at a plate!

Wishing everyone a wonderful morning… and don’t forget to find a little beauty in the ordinary today. ❤️🍓🫐🍌

“Some days, grief arrives quietly.
~ Other days, it falls from the sky.”

When I created this image, the raindrops became more than water to me. They became tears. Tears for the love I still carry, for the emptiness she left behind, and for all the moments I wish we could share again.

I never imagined how deeply I could miss her. The house feels different. The days feel longer. And yet, she is woven into every part of my life, reminding me that a bond like ours doesn’t end when a heartbeat does.

“So when the rain falls, I like to imagine the sky is grieving with me.”

Missing you more than words can say, my sweet Trixie.

To my beloved Trixie 🐾💔

In two short months, you would have turned 16 years old, but nothing could have prepared me for such a sudden & heart shattering loss.

The knot of grief in the pit of my stomach feels overwhelming, and my heart feels shattered into a million pieces. Out of all the dogs my husband and I have shared our lives with, you were my dog. We had a bond that was truly one of a kind. We grew older together, walked through different stages of life together, and somehow always knew when the other needed comfort.

You were more than a pet. You were my therapy dog, my constant companion, my furry soulmate. Through chronic pain, cancer, difficult days, and quiet moments, you were always there. Whether it was curling up beside me, licking the exact places that hurt, getting me motivated to take you for hikes and long walks, or simply sitting with me in silence, you brought comfort, healing, loyalty, and unconditional love.

For almost 16 years, we took care of each other.

It’s only been two days since you’ve been gone, yet it already feels like an eternity. The routines we shared every day have changed so suddenly, and I am struggling to find my footing without you. I’ve shed more tears than I ever thought possible, and I’m writing this through tear-filled eyes because I miss you so deeply.

Thank you for every tail wag, every cuddle, every walk, every moment of comfort, and every ounce of love you gave so freely.

I hope wherever your beautiful soul is now, you are at peace, free from pain, and surrounded by warmth and love.

Until we meet again, my sweet girl.

I will love you forever.
❤️🐾

Rest peacefully, my Trixie.

A tiny universe suspended in a single drop.

The art of noticing has taught me that wonder rarely announces itself. It lingers quietly in the shadows, waiting to be discovered by those who choose to look a little closer.

June 4th marked one year since I received my breast cancer diagnosis.

It’s strange how certain dates become permanently etched into your memory. June 4, 2025 will always be one of them. Along with the date of my last radiation treatment and, in the future, the date I finally take my last Tamoxifen pill and officially complete my treatment.

A year later, I have a lot of mixed feelings.

Part of me is grateful for how far I’ve come. Part of me is still processing everything that happened. Some days it feels like it was yesterday, and other days it feels like a lifetime ago.

What a journey this has been.

Cancer has a way of changing so many things in your life. Not just physically, but emotionally and mentally as well. It forces you to see things differently. It also has a way of revealing who is truly there for you.

Not just in those first few weeks after diagnosis when everyone is shocked and reaching out. I’m talking about the people who continue to check in months later. The people who remember your appointments, ask how you’re really doing, and stay by your side long after the initial crisis has passed.

That has probably been one of the biggest lessons for me this past year. Cancer has shown me who genuinely cares, who consistently shows up, and who is willing to walk beside me through the hard parts, not just the beginning.

This journey has tested me in ways I never expected. It has brought tears, fear, uncertainty, frustration, and moments where I questioned whether I was strong enough. But it has also shown me just how resilient I can be.

I am still healing. I am still learning. I am still moving forward.

One year later, I’m incredibly thankful to be here, and thankful for every person who has stood beside me through all of it.🌸
