It really was, Michelle — soft, soulful, and so inspiring. Wendy has such a gentle magic about her. I left feeling more like myself, and more in love with making art again. 💛
Good Morning, Lynn. Thanks for your metaphor and spelling out the meaning in the flowers. Yup, I relate to that. A little wilted, but still in the game. I have a feeling there’s much to learn and take from this retreat as I sit with it. It was so lovely to meet you.
Yes—still in the game, still blooming in our own time. I’m right there with you, sitting with it all and letting the goodness of the retreat sink in slowly. It was such a joy to meet you and feel that creative kinship. I have a feeling our paths will keep crossing.
Jackie, yes! That Victorian tradition of flower meanings has always fascinated me too. There’s something so poetic about letting the language of flowers speak through our art—like each petal is whispering a feeling we didn’t quite know how to name.
If you’re feeling stuck or unsure what to create next, try this: choose one flower, look up its meaning, and let that be your prompt. Don’t overthink it—just respond. What color does it need? What shape? Let the message come through your hands, not your head. 🌸
Trust the process—there’s wisdom in what you’re drawn to.
If this stirred something in you, try asking: What part of me needed this today? And what’s one small way I can respond—with words, with color, with movement? Sometimes the shift comes not from doing more, but from listening more closely to what’s quietly asking to be seen. You don’t have to have it all figured out—just follow that nudge.
Thank you so much, Kathryn. I’m really glad it landed with you. I’ve been trying to write more from the heart lately—messy, real, and hopefully encouraging. Means a lot that you’re here. 💛
Wendy Brightbill, l love her art. Sounds like it was a beautiful retreat 😍

Peggy, what a kind thing to say — thank you! I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s keep breathing that fresh air and making space for what matters. 💛

Take gentle care today,

I love the idea of flowers having messages. I read a book years ago about the Victorian practice of flowers meanings. Applying it to art is brilliant.

Just what I needed.

You’re doing beautifully.
