Day 36: Daschund Puppies

We’ve already enjoyed kittens! It’s only fair that we spend some time with puppies too! (Plus, if you explore LouLou’s channel you’ll see ducks, chickens, bunnies, sugar gliders and more!)

Day 35: Circles by Jane Davies

Jane Davies’ circles are the kind of art making that feels just right for this moment. Simple. Fun. Creative. Grab some papers, scissors, glue stick and markers and see how many kinds of circles you can create at your kitchen table!

Day 34: Scribd (This resource got me reading again!)

I have always loved books but for years I never found time to read. I felt so disconnected and so frustrated until I discovered the joy of audio books! Now I listen to books while I do my morning chores, while I do the laundry, when I go for a walk. My reading has increased exponentially!

One of the best resources I’ve found for both e-books and audio books is Scribd. It’s kind of like Netflix for reading. My sisters and I all use it and love it. It’s a paid resource but if you use my link you can get 60 days for free. Hopefully that will be another bridge of goodness for you well after our 40-day series draws to a close.

*Note: This is an affiliate link but I’m really sharing because if you sign up with my link you get an extra free month. I share Scribd far and wide because it’s seriously my favourite service I’ve found in years! I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

PS Also check your library! Most offer access to e-books and audio books and many are being very generous with their lending policies these days.

Day 33: The Importance of Dancing (like an idiot)

I am a deep believer in the importance and power of dance – dance with ourselves and with one another. And though I may not (ever) use the word ‘idiot’, I get what they are going for. Be awkward. Make your own moves. Dance.

Day 32: At the Museum

Galleries and museums are my happy place. Their quiet and beauty is sacred to me.  That’s why I particularly enjoy this At the Museum series by the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). With no narration, the show simply allows us to be present for the day-to-day activities that go on behind the scenes. I find the gentle pace soothing to my soul, especially right now. I hope you do too.

Day 31: It’s OK to feel overwhelmed. Here’s what to do next according to Elizabeth Gilbert

Elizabeth Gilbert is an icon in the creative world. In this It’s OK to Feel Overwhelmed interview, she talks about how to face our feelings of anxiety and loneliness and be compassionate with ourselves during this compassionate time.

Day 30: What Do Artists Do All Day?

When I first found the What Do Artist’s Do All Day series, I wanted to sit in my chair all day long and watch every single one. Instead, I parsed them out over Sunday mornings, giving myself a chance to really come to know each artist and their unique take on their work.  Today I share with you Shani Rhys James but feel free to travel down an intriguing rabbit hole with the entire series. (Please note: Since I originally watched the series, it seems that music has been removed from some episodes, giving a bit of an odd pacing but certainly still worth watching.)
