To me, food is a language of love rooted in family and tradition. While I have fond memories of weeknights and weekends spent in the kitchen, we all know nothing beats Grandma's cooking!

What better way to connect with my grandmother than to make her Italian Easter Bread recipe! This freshly wrapped loaf is on its way to her house! 🌼

What recipes in your circle of loved ones bring you connection?

And that's all we want in the end: to be acknowledged and appreciated. And to be told we've been missed. And loved.

Hey all! I'm Andrea! Wife, artist, adventure lover and crazy cat lady. I am a Salve Regina Alumni, Budokai Martial Arts black belt, art therapy masters candidate at Lesley University and founder of Creative Connections!

During these uncertain times, our connection to others has been challenged. The energy between people that brings refreshment has dwindled. What remains is a space that has been infringed upon by feelings of isolation and invisibility. Feelings of disconnection can take place within the relationship we have with ourselves, making it challenging to harness our inner strength and to be gentle with ourselves as we navigate our ever-changing reality.

Contemplating these things led me to establish Creative Connections, a creative initiative focused on fostering connections in ourselves and our communities. I believe that reconnecting with ourselves through creative expression makes way for the empowering feelings of strength and resilience. Similarly, small acts of kindness can rekindle our feelings of connection with others, and others with us.

It is my hope that interacting with these activities will help you to find self-compassion, strength and connection… and maybe, just maybe, we will not feel so alone, together. ❤

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

Hi friends! Welcome to Creative Connections!

Creative Connections is a creative initiative prompted by the uncertain times we have been navigating for the majority of the year.

The Creative Connections project takes the form of colored envelopes that are delivered to you or a loved one via snail mail. Each envelope contains an inspirational message, a creative directive and a connection challenge for you to complete.

It is my hope that interacting with these activities will help you find self-compassion, strength, and community.

This page is an extension of the project. Here, you will find additional interactive materials and sources of positivity and encouragement.

I am excited that you are here, and looking forward to connecting through creativity and kindness with you!
