This zine is about enjoying fall magic. It’s a digital download, but you can absolutely print it out. It’s $10 in my shop, at this link <3.
The rice krispies are my fave. OK maybe the cider caramels.
I had a chance to speak with my friend Nōn Wels about his new project The Feely Cards (in collaboration with illustrator Ess Crossley), and I can’t recommend them enough! They’re out tomorrow 10/22, but you can preorder today at this link.
The Feely Cards is a deck of 44 cards that empower us to engage more meaningfully with the powers of empathy, vulnerability, and emotional curiosity. Each card features gorgeous illustration by Ess Crossley, and words by Non Wels, in the form of an affirmation we can embody; or an action we can take to sharpen our innate ability to empathize with ourselves and others, use vulnerability as a means of healing and connection, take notice of and feel our beautiful feelings, and, ultimately, come into more of who we are—magical, wondrous, heart-leading feely humans. The deck also comes with a guide for how to use them in the classroom! A powerful resource for educators, adults, and kids aged 8 and up.
I’m so happy this resource exists out in the world, in such an accessible and beautiful way. You can watch learn more about it in this recording of our conversation!
