Sometimes the hardest conversations are the ones happening inside our own heads.

September is Su***de Prevention Month, and it's a reminder that mental health conversations matter.

I write about some of those quieter battles: overthinking, thought spirals, self-worth, difficult life experiences and finding your way forward.

📘 Overthinking Is Exhausting: practical tools for when your brain won't shut up.
📘 Unshattered: about what can come after life's hardest chapters.
📘 Bloom Through the Cracks: reflection, self-worth and personal growth.

My books aren't a replacement for professional mental-health care. They're simply another tool something to read, write in, think about, or perhaps share with someone who needs it.

Quiet the noise. Remember your worth. Keep growing.

If you or someone you know is in crisis in Canada, call or text 988. If there is immediate danger, call 911.

Some gifts hold memories. ❤️

Amber Jackson creates beautiful, personalized memorial pieces designed to honour someone you love using cherished photos, meaningful words, and even cremation ashes. Each one is custom made, so no two tributes are quite the same.

Take a look at some of Amber’s work below. If you’re looking for a special way to keep someone’s memory close, reach out to Amber to talk about creating something just for you.

📣 **CALLING LOCAL ALBERTA AUTHORS & ARTISTS!**

This page is about more than promoting what we sell or what event we're attending next.

I want **Local Alberta Authors & Artists** to become a place where we actually get to know each other, interact, build awareness and support the incredible creative talent we have right here in Alberta.

So please **follow the page and join in!**

Are you an author or artist? Send me your page, posts, upcoming events, new releases, exhibitions, markets, accomplishments or simply what you've been working on lately. I'd love to share them.

And don't just drop your link and disappear. 😊

**Follow other creators. Comment on their work. Share something you love. Ask questions. Start conversations. Get to know the people behind the books, paintings, photographs and creations.**

And if you come across an Alberta event, opportunity, activity or news that would be relevant to our creative community, **send it my way so we can help get the word out.**

You don't have to have something to sell to belong here. Readers, art lovers and supporters of local talent are absolutely welcome too.

Let's see who's out there.

**ALBERTA AUTHORS & ARTISTS introduce yourself in the comments! Tell us who you are, where you're from and what you create.**
