🪽🕊️I think one of the saddest things modern life has done is disconnect people from wonder, intuition, symbolism, and from the idea that life may be speaking to us in subtle, mysterious, deeply personal ways ALL the time.👀🔮🪽
People are taught to dismiss the moments that move them.😢 like…
The perfectly timed song.
The dream of a loved one that lingers for days.
The resonance during a conversation.
The animal that appears during grief.
The number that follows someone through a major life transition.
The moments that feel emotionally impossible to ignore.
But after years of deepening my intuition, practicing mediumship readings, studying spirituality, energy, synchronicity, and witnessing things I genuinely cannot explain away logically… I strongly believe life is NOT random.
Like…we are on a gigantic blue ball rotating around in space with trillions of galaxies and energies… and there are people out there that believe this is meaningless!?! NO. lol. 😆🤯
Some say it’s “crazy” to feel impacted by ordinary moments. But honestly… I think there is something deeply beautiful about it. IYKYK.
Paying attention to those subtle moments completely changed my life. It expanded my awareness during a rock bottom depression and gave me perspective, purpose, hope, and wonder that I desperately needed to keep going.
And when this book opportunity manifested into my life, I knew the universe had been listening all along. I called this in ( literally ) through years of intention, trust, collecting wisdom, signs, healing, and believing.
Inside this book are over 300 signs and symbols, what they represent spiritually, and messages for the moments you experience them. ( I also included affirmations for each, to energetically claim your message.) 🥲💜
A book to return to over and over again whenever life leaves you with one of those magical, meaningful moments you can’t quite explain.
For the people who believe there is magic in the ordinary and no such thing as coincidence..
Synchronicities is officially out now. 🪽📖

🎉 I can finally share it…
I am thrilled to announce the forthcoming publication of my debut book with @Quartobooksus — Modern Folk Art.
Inside the book, I’ll show you how I build drawings from simple shapes, add color and personality, and turn little ideas into joyful illustrations. From florals and birds to lettering, holidays, fruits, and more — the book includes 75 tutorials designed to feel fun, approachable, and pressure-free.
One thing that was especially important to me while creating this book: it’s not about drawing perfectly. It’s about trying things out, loosening up, and discovering your own creative voice along the way.
Modern Folk Art publishes on September 15, 2026 and is available for preorder NOW.
As a special promotion, my publisher will also be giving away custom tote bags inspired by the book to 50 lucky readers who preorder!
And because I love taking drawings beyond the page, I also created a special bonus video for pre-orders where I show how I turn simple drawings into things like stickers or fabric✨
The links to purchase can be found in my bio.
I honestly still can’t believe I get to hold my own book in my hands soon.
