Welcome to February, Friends,

My goodness. I think it's safe to say January was A LOT. But we are still here creating, connecting, and lifting each other up. Why? Because that's who we are. 

In these tumultuous times, I'm more grateful than ever for our loving community space and inspiring gatherings which serve as touchstones to our creative aliveness and belonging. 

Thank you for all the ways you show up to this community, and if you haven't tapped into FREE FLO lately, this is your gentle reminder that there are so many wonderful things happening, and we'll always be there to welcome you with open arms. 

We had some really inspiring gatherings in January. Our Monthly Art Gathering was particularly moving and energizing, and some new paintings emerged quite quickly for me. Our Heart Circle was all about resilience through change, play, and refining our focus, and our Guest Inspirationalist, Whitney Freya, shared her spirited process of working with symbols in her paintings. 

As always, there is a lot to check out in the Replay Library, and our month ahead is full of opportunities to gather live, including our upcoming Art Gathering brought to you live from Lisbon, Portugal where I'm living and painting for a month!

Check out the video below to hear more about what's to come in February, including this month's Flow Writing Community Commitment. It was really fun to see your #doodlesaday for our January Commitment, and I'm excited to keep this monthly tradition of shared commitments going. 

With love from Portugal,
