The inspiration behind this class
But as I worked, I realized something deeper was happening. As I collaged, layered, colored, and stitched the scraps together, it felt like I was gently piecing myself together too.
By the end, this wasn’t just a handmade book — it was a mirror of healing, transformation, and quiet acceptance.
That’s how Gentle Reminders came to be — a collection of small affirmations made from fragments, celebrating the beauty of imperfection and the art of becoming whole again.
