I’ve always been fascinated by the Moon. But for most of my life, the only images I saw were in shades of grey—cold, distant, lifeless. I loved her anyway, but she felt a little sad, flat, dead. Visually speaking, it was hard to connect this barren rock to the deep, ever-changing world of emotions she represents. Then I stumbled upon a NASA photograph of the Moon taken in 1992. Unlike the usual monochrome images, this one was bursting with color—revealing ancient volcanic flows, mineral-rich craters, and explosive cosmic history. My first thought? Wow. The Moon is such a badass.

Cancer season is upon us, a time for nurturing ourselves and cultivating emotional well-being. It's the perfect opportunity to prioritize self-care and invest in your cultivating your inner strength. One of my favourite self-care practice is sketch-booking. Keeping an art sketchbook is my yoga. 

Today I'd like to take you with me on a little adventure:
Sit back and imagine yourself walking down a long, intriguing hallway lined with art and books. Feel your worries melt away with each step. The air is still and silent, filled with a sense of anticipation.

You don’t need to squeeze yourself to a mould or shape that you think is going to make you more successful. Just be you: goofy, deep, melancholic, joyful, sad, happy, worried, trusting… All of it. It’s all OK.

Here's a quick word of encouragement, if like me you're a non native english speaker and yet is communicating in English. Or feel free to replace it with anything that you feel is making you “obviously” different. If you feel like me, please don't let it stop you. It doesn't matter what other people think.
