When the two-year-old grand kiddo is gleefully obsessed with what’s been called the scariest kid’s show episode of all time (look up Teletubbies, “the Lion and the Bear”) you make them stick puppets of the main characters. Because, love. 💗Happy Valentines Day!💗

Two things I did today that did my heart good:
1. I drew a picture of a cardinal in the spruce outside my window.
2. I signed a petition in favour of free birth control for Nova Scotians.
Here’s the picture and a link to the petition.

What a magical day for the Notes from Destiny project at the Ross Creek Centre for the Arts. 💗 It was an absolute gift to be able to sit with so many wonderful humans and share conversation about JOY, HOPE, PEACE, and LIGHT. I typed at least 20 pop-up poems in three hours!💗
