Hold on to what is good even if it is a handful of earth.

Hold on to what you believe even if it is a tree which stands by itself.

Hold on to what you must do even if it is a long way from here.

Hold on to life even when it is easier letting go.

Hold on to my hand even when I have gone away from you.

Brave Shoes


 Dear Adele,
Cass and I had a fun art making session on the weekend and we thought we'd share our creativity for your amusement on this blog.
We did shoe painting. This was our second adventure with this artistic endeavor. These are my latest creations. You can see some pretty wavy ones from Cass down below from our last session.



We talked during the evening about a lot of good woman power things such as giving space to acknowledge, feel and act on our emotions. We talked about rituals and rites of passage. We talked about intuition and honouring our connections to things beyond the material world. We talked while sharing food and painting shoes. I think a shoe is a good metaphor for stepping forward and navigating these questions and conversations and for being brave enough to walk our own path and be ourselves even when faced with adversity.

 May we all be nimble enough to walk forward with strength and grace at the same time.
Thinking of you Adele
Nicole and Cass
