Today I had the honour of creating this memorial tattoo for someone who trusted me to create something in memory of their mother meant a lot to me personally.

The design brings together butterflies, an arch, meaningful Roman numerals, and the words “one day at a time.” Each element represents a part of her story and a way to keep her mother’s memory close.

Losing a parent changes you. There really aren't words that can make that loss easier. All we can do sometimes is carry the love, carry the memories, and keep moving forward one day at a time

I am truly honoured that you trusted me with something so personal.

One day at a time. ❤️🦋

Book overview

Often we carry things we are meant to let go. We collect our tears, fears, trauma, grief, and the weight is a burden we didn't know we could release. This is a poetry memoir through the journey of letting go.

Vacation so far...

Wonderful trip with my sister and oldest daughter. Sometimes you need music, laughter and just being in the moment. Another driving trip helped me with my fear. It was called Bingo Loco, at Area 506

Full moon ceremony tonight. I am ready to embrace and let go to the best of my ability. I am surrounded by those who want to love and learn. I need this time to remember I am free.
The strawberries, berries and water serve to nourish the soul
Always shared and appreciated
Sacred fire is there to connect and protect us from cold.
