I love the meltdown prevention project! That really is something that can go completely unnoticed by most people but is so important when it affects you, and those tedious and time-consuming tasks can be really hard to do if you're also neurodivergent. Thank you for sharing!

I absolutely love the art piece you created from the tags & could imagine seeing it up in an art installation along with other interpretive pieces - fabulous!

Thank you for the shoutout Sarah! I love your comment on how things that may seem like a waste of time can actually feed our creative practice. It's easy in the internet age to feel like only 'productive' creativity is worth pursuing, but that eliminates play and so easily turns joy into work.

Yes, I feel like this has been the recurring lesson of the last decade for me. And it’s tricky too because as soon as you start sharing online it’s hard to pinpoint your real motivations and it mixes up work and play quite a bit.

That messy reality has been top of mind for me over the past year. I’m constantly checking in with myself in ideas and assessing what the Why is behind wanting to share them online. Is it for connection and creativity, or is it because I perceive pressure that I SHOULD be sharing?
