Creative Sabbath
Rest, Rhythm, and Making with Intention
Creative Sabbath is not a program. It is not a challenge. It is not a productivity system disguised as rest.
It is a posture.
This space gathers essays and practices that explore what it means to create from rest instead of hurry, to live inside rhythm instead of rush, and to let making serve peace rather than compete with it.
I write these pieces for women who make — with their hands, their homes, their words, their work — and who sense that exhaustion is not the price creativity is meant to demand.

Hope on the Kitchen Counter
Winter can feel endless to kids. The days are short, the ground is hard, and everything outside looks frozen in place. Nothing seems to be happening. Nothing seems to be growing. For young eyes especially, it can feel like the world has gone quiet—like life itself has pressed pause.
But winter isn’t the absence of growth. It’s the season of rest.
