Holy Fudge that Canva Pro Trial Made a Believer Out of Me

Howdy howdy! Looking back at the month, 2025 has been off to a wild start. I hope you’ve been able to avoid natural disasters, wild winter weather, and daily political newsfall. While I try not to put too much pressure on stacking New Year resolutions, the calendar reset put some pep in my step. I started by making a vision board courtesy of a Canva Pro trial (highly recommend).

I also used the program to create the first of my monthly Consumed Digest (!!!!) As someone who battles intention vs impulse, my vision boards operate as a creative planning resource. The act of researching and visualizing helped prepare me for what to pursue and avoid in the year ahead.

As shared in my last letter, my mother suffered a stroke a few months ago. While she’s greatly improving, I have provided sustenance for her. It’s a difficult, surreal experience I haven’t been able to articulate easily. For example, I recently made this chicken curry dish, which was a favorite of mine as a kid.
