I’m still not entirely sure how “Notes” works over here, but I’m diving in anyway.

I keep dipping in and out of this Substack space but I’m dipping in more consistently here. I like it even though it feels a bit like walking into a new gathering and not quite knowing where the tea is or where to sit. I’m trusting I’ll find my way. Anyone have a Substack class or recommendations for navigating the basics of being here?

In the meantime, I just want to say hello!

Today felt like a gift. Sunshine. Warmth. And art making.

I’ve been letting myself make whatever art wants to come through. Not my usual “style” but more experimental. No pressure, no plan. Just following the nudge. It’s starting to feel like a tiny daily field trip for my soul, and I didn’t realize how much I needed that.

So, today’s mantra is “let your soul go on a field trip every single day”

Sending love,

Kelly Rae
