Dear Friends,
I hope you have some time and space for whatever level of reflection you desire as we sink into the darkness of winter and rise into the dawn of a new year.
I am coming to you with a new workshop (see below!) and a few ideas I jotted down this week that seemed worth sharing.
Notes to self in early January 2025:
Small tweaks and naps are where it’s at for winter.
If it feels redundant that’s because it is and that is o.k. …Seek the space between redundant and ritual to situate your everyday practices.
You don’t have to be good, you just have to believe you’re already enough.
Be devoted to choosing and noticing joy.
Creativity is the antidote to anxiety.
Wishing you the abundant creativity and joy that you deserve in 2025,
Anna Marie
WATERCOLOR & WORDS
Guided by Jaymie & Anna Marie
A creative practice in community, an experience of making alongside others through guided art & writing prompts.
Come paint, draw, write, share: become more of you.
You do not need to have any experience in watercolor, drawing or writing to participate. Come as you are. All are welcome.
This is not about making perfect artwork; it’s about being in a non-judgmental space and exploring your authentic expression on the page. It’s about tuning into you and seeing what emerges when you open yourself to the materials and your inherent creativity.
Towards the end of our circle time, you will be invited to share your creation with the group. Why? Because sharing our authentic expression builds courage and bearing witness to each other builds human connection.
We are offering two live only (online) 90 min. sessions in January and you are invited to join us!

Love your art piece at the top, and definitely need to remember to choose and notice joy! 🙏✨
