I'm so sorry to hear about your family loss 💖 What a beautiful piece (as always). I think sometimes we don't give ourselves credit for being creative because it's not 'art' but it's creativity to figure out how to make a recipe work with what we have or repurpose a piece of furniture by painting it another colour... It can be anything!
Missed you Katie and sorry to hear you are going through a tough time. Sending lots of love and hugs to you. Thank you for your post. In true Katie Selina style, despite everything that you are dealing with right now, you are spreading sunshine and hope in such a beautifully written post about creativity. You are wonderful. Keep on with the children’s book, I think it will be magical. X❤️
You are just the sweetest. Thank you so much, Hayley. I don’t really have a children’s books at this stage, just lots of snippets and scraps of ideas, but I know one day they’ll all come together!🤞🏻❤️
Well you do, even if it is a little baby seed of an idea. I also think you could do an amazing book on little cute animal characters and how we can be more like them. Channeling our inner child, a self-help storybook for adults. It would be amazing. 🤩
Sorry to hear about your loss especially hard walking into the holidays. Thank you for this post! I also find that creativity sparks a deep joy and a new flow that I need especially when things are heavy and ultimately out of my control. Beautiful words ✨
I wholeheartedly agree Katie. A simple life is a creative life. A constant reimagining of what life can look like. I'm happy to know you are feeling held by your creativity during this time of grief. Love to you and your family x
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt and beautiful post. It really resonated with me,so much of what you have shared I hold dear and true in my own life. I love that you use creativity to hold space for you to navigate through the difficult times. Thank you again for sharing these wonderful words.
This outlook gives me food for thought- thanks for sharing. And I'd love to hear more about those scented candles in recycled jars, what supplies you use etc!
I will definitely do a post one day! I’ve done a couple of batches of candles now but I am still figuring it all out. Will post about it once I’ve got the process down! 😊
I've never related to an article more. I find that whenever I'm struggling mentally, working on something creative always alleviates the worrisome fog hanging over my head so that I don't jump to rash conclusions. Writing has been one of those forms, but other activities have come to the rescue also. Wishing your family well during this tough period.

Thank you, Catherine. ❤️ And yes, exactly!! Creativity is so broad! I think everyone is creative in some way or another.
Absolutely xx
Was it Sara Tasker (of Me & Orla) who said "Constraint breeds creativity"? I think about that often.
Oooh, thats good! Very true.

Thank you, Clarissa. When I’m properly absorbed in creating something my worries shrink down to almost nothing. It’s like magic! 💖
