D: Drawing

We had an AWESOME live class on Sunday – learning Procreate and drawing adorable Christmas candies 😊.

Here is what Ness created during the class:

So gorgeous!

It makes my heart so happy to see beautiful art like this come into being after our classes 🥰.

She titled this drawing "A sweet start to Sunday!"

R: Resource

This class can be a "sweet start" for your creative journey too!

If you are a Procreate beginner and want to lean the foundations – this class is exactly what will get you there!

The recording of the class is available on YouTube (there is a link to download class resources too), and it's this week's resource that I would like to share with you 😊.

Check it out!

A: Affirmation

Sometimes, I feel that the work I do around the house and caring for the children goes... unnoticed 😜.

I can even feel a bit resentful, if I am really tired or busy with work.

This week was one of those weeks 😅.

I knew it would be a challenging week with live class coming up. So I decided to go about my day and look for opportunities to feel gratitude instead.

It's hard to feel resentment and gratitude at the same time 😆.

I would literally say "thank you" to the clear skies, when I woke up.

"Thank you" for my family and children.

"Thank you" for our cozy home...

... Then I made dinner and automatically said to myself, "Thank you for making this delicious meal."

I was thanking MYSELF!!! And didn't even realize it – it wasn't on purpose.

And in that moment, something magical happened.

I felt seen and appreciated.

I thanked myself, and thus gave MYSELF this recognition!

No external input needed 😊.

Of course, it's nice to receive thanks from family and friends.

Nice, but not needed.

This week, I learned that I can have my own back.

So here is this week's affirmation:

W: Wonder

Our time together with loved ones is precious ❤️.

It's easy to feel "too busy" to sit on the floor and make beaded necklaces with my daughter.

Or to say "we'll play tomorrow", when my son wants to share a game of Zelda with me.

What if tomorrow it doesn't happen?

Saying "I don't have time" is actually saying "It's not a priority".

I can CHOOSE how I define my priorities.

And I can choose to be present with those who matter.

So here is this week's question to wonder about:

Have a beautiful week!

I hope you are able to create meaningful memories with your loved ones in the coming week 🥰.

With love,
Tatyana
