There’s a seat with your name on it. ⭕️

For my birthday, I’m giving you a gift. 🎁

I’m offering complimentary digital copies of Walking in Your Power — Lessons from the Grandmothers AND the brand-new Companion Guidebook to those joining my Book Study.

This isn’t about sitting together and reading the book word for word.

It’s a circle.

A more informal way to gather, get to know our neighbours, have real human connection, and talk about the things the chapters bring forward in our own lives.

Yes, we’ll explore the chapters together — but the bigger purpose is to create community.

There’s a seat waiting for you. ⭕️

CHAPTER ONE — FULL CIRCLE

We all leave something behind.
Not only through the things we accomplish, but through the lives we touch, the lessons we carry forward, and sometimes through the cycles we choose to end.

What do you want your own legacy to leave in the lives of others?

This is one of the conversations we'll explore together in Walking in Your Power — Lessons from the Grandmothers.
You don't need to have the answers. Come with your own experiences, thoughts and stories.

Beginning October 1 at 1 p.m. MST
Online Book Study
Walking in Your Power — Lessons from the Grandmothers
There is room in the circle for you.

Comment CIRCLE below to register. I’ll send you the book study dates and Zoom links.

You’ll need both Walking in Your Power — Lessons from the Grandmothers and the companion Guidebook. For convenience, both can be purchased through my Amazon Store and should arrive within approximately 3–5 business days.

I’ve been pretty quiet these days on social media. Lots of family time, and looking after my health. 💪❤️🐻 I was given this commission a few months ago. A 100 year old tree a church loved and cherished had completed its cycle and needed to be cut down. They kept a portion of it, and had it sliced into 3 pieces. This is part 1 of 3 wood-burning I’ve done so far. Love that I am invited on this community’s creative journey in preserving its memory 💕❤️🦅🪶🐻

Day before yesterday, I had the privilege of leading a mixed media “Tipi Turtle” painting session with the staff of Braided Journeys.
What an inspiring group of educators! Their dedication to bringing Indigenous teachings, culture, and meaningful learning experiences into the Catholic school community was evident throughout the day. It was wonderful to see creativity, reflection, and connection come together through art.

Thank you for welcoming me and for the important work you do in supporting students and strengthening understanding through Indigenous perspectives. 🐢🎨✨

New! Under revision, we’ll have a few exciting ways to get you started.
