It's been forever! Let's catch up!

Hello! It might have been a minute since you signed up for these emails, so here's a quick refresh – I'm Maura Kelpy, Graphic Designer, Creative Consultant and Health & Wellness Coach. You may have found these emails through another newsletter — they're a mini exhale in your crowded inbox with reminders on how to live life your way. Curious to know more? Check out my work at maurakcreative.com or dive deeper into the veggiesandvodka.com world. Great to be reconnected! Whoa, what happened — it's been a year since I last emailed! Currently peering around for the time warp I must have slipped into. Thankfully, 2024 was mostly "packed full of goodness," but there were some chaos and complexities too. So, this newsletter had to take a breather. (Sometimes you need space, even from things you love, ya know?) But... I'm dancing-at-my-standing-desk-excited to say: I'M BACK! Before I start sending my regular, monthly-ish newsletter, I wanted to reach out and hear from YOU first. So… what have you been up to? I'd genuinely love to hear because, fun fact: I’m old school and love connecting with people 1-on-1. And, since it's been a while, I'll start the sharing with a recent win I'm really excited about: In 2024, I achieved a 20-year-long dream of becoming a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC)! (If you’re curious, last January I wrote about the first week of my 20-week coaching course here.) More on that soon — it’s already shaping my work and life in unexpected ways. But first, fill me in on you! I can't wait to hear what's up! My fingers are poised over the keys, ready to respond. SO happy to be reconnected (or newly connected!) with you. Thanks for being on this adventure! Maura ps — I also want to acknowledge the heaviness in the world these days. If that’s where you are right now, just know I see you, and I'm here for support too.

She might as well have thrown the mic at me. The obvious aha was so big in my head: Rest and leisure are not the same. “Wait, what?” Last weekend at a coaching symposium the speaker was dropping serious knowledge on our nervous systems. And what rest actually looks like. I’m a big fan of movement and nature. I want to be outside DOING the thing and getting after it. (Mountain biking, hiking, snowboarding, paddleboarding…) Her talk helped me realize that while those are excellent for my health...
Hi friends, I'm back! And I'm waving hello to those of you who joined during my hiatus and are getting your first Sketching Adventures email! Hummingbird. That was my brain’s default speed this summer. Fluttering faster than I could think.Zipping around on a sugar high. Blurring my reality. Between the constant evolution of AI, an ever-changing world, and a life that’s packed full of goodness, it sometimes feels hard to keep up. Not to mention all the things we can blindly click on these...
There’s no one way. The amount of times I’ve said that — that we’ve all said that — infinite, right? For me, it often comes up around health, wellness, business or mindset. There’s no one way… to eat healthy (100% paleo is not for me) to get fit (burpees on the daily are a big no thank you) to do business (social media is my frenemy, referrals are my bestie) to be creative (hello, silly sketches) to live (relationships + nature + adventure + time = me) to be ready (moving on from perfection,...
