Self Love in photography, painting, drawing and a free self love mini course
A mini course in self love
Three weeks ago, I accepted a challenge initiated by one of our fellow Substackers. Honestly, I didn't think I'd make it past the first week—but here I am, still going strong! The challenge involves taking daily photos inspired by our everyday lives.
This week, something unexpected happened. The challenge sparked a reminder of a course I had planned to launch ages ago but never did. It was a mini-course on self-love, including a short meditation, mood board creation, a week-long prompted mindfulness journal (PDF download), and a downloadable coloring page.
Well, guess what? I finally completed it, and it’s now available for free on TEACHABLE! You can find the link below. Enjoy!
Two more courses—one on intuitive painting and another on roots and creativity—are in the works, and I plan to release them soon.
It’s funny how life works. Three dormant projects revived, all thanks to a simple photography challenge.

And now, a week in pictures and stories. Capturing those moments that count.
TUESDAY AND A WALK BY THE SEA
This Tuesday morning, bathed in the gentle warmth of an Indian Summer, I decided to give myself a dose of self-care and reflection. I asked myself, "What do I need to do today to support my emotional well-being and inner strength?" The answer was clear: I needed to go by the sea, take a walk, enjoy a cup of coffee in a new spot, and write about something I’m passionate about. Is this something that might help you as well?
WEDNESDAY IS DEDICATED TO NEW EXPERIENCES
My office space for a few hours… a place to write, drink coffee and research. Sometimes this is what we need to do …. find new places to work from, new energy, new vibration.
THURSDAY IS KUNDALINY DAY
Ready for my first live Kundalini Yoga session with the Life Force Academy! Incredibly excited and grateful. Planning a piece about my relationship with kundalini yoga and the impact on mind, body and soul in the next few days. Feel free to click on the link and discover more about their offerings.
FRIDAY IS ALL ABOUT SELF LOVE IN MICRO-MESSAGES
When times are tough, when you catch yourself being extra critical with yourself, when you are on a recovery journey from narcissistic abuse / trauma you need to tune in, connect with your guardian angels, divine, supporting friends on the other side and write yourself loving messages. Why not dedicate a jar to this endeavour? Decorate the jar if you feel like it! Create a daily ritual … make yourself a cup of coffee/tea/something stronger 😀, pull an oracle card, find your favourite candle, meditate for a couple of minutes and start writing. Loving messages for your soul from your fab club 😀
SATURDAY IS A SHOW UP DAY
Sometimes all we can do is to “Show up” to another day and take is slowly and this is OK.
SUNDAY IS A PAINTING DAY
Painting diary covers has been part of my life for the last 13 years. Painting and selling all over the world. I wanted to keep the tradition going so here I am adding the first layers, colours making an appearance in their own way, marks following close by! Words are next!
Until next time, be well!
