Why I slowed everything down

A different start to the year

New work February 2026

I had a different start to 2026. I had a month of retreat, a month of return to self. Winter can be exhausting and I was tired, scattered and in need of nourishment. Maybe you know the feeling? I didn’t set any goals, I just closed the door and went inwards.

I respond to what I need became my mantra for the month. Simple. Radical.

In this months paid subscriber post I explain what happened, and why I have been able to come back quieter and clearer.

A paid subscription gives you the opportunity to journey with me as I nourish myself to stay in creative flow and give you the tools to enhance your own self-expression. A paid subscription brings you into my inner circle were we can go deeper, not wider and create with authenticity.

It is time for the pilgrim in me
to travel in the dark,
to learn to read the stars
that shine in my soul.

Joyce Rupp

If you need a creative reset too, the full piece is ready for you.

I will be back soon with news from the studio and some inspiration for the grey days.

Stay kind to yourself

Helen
