The City of Fort St. John is located in Northeastern British Columbia in the Peace Country. The scenery is quite picturesque here and the northern lights are stunning. Take a look at Darcy Shawchek photos on his Facebook page. These photos will give you a glimpse of Northeastern British Columbia. Our winters here can be extremely long and one does get cabin fever. I have seen snow as early as September and been horrified with snow Canada Day long weekend. Mindfulness is talked about quite a bit these days and many companies are incorporating it into their wellness programs. In 2011, I was introduced to Zentangle® as a method of practicing mindfulness. The tools I required were a tile, pencil and a fine tipped marker, most of which I picked up at the dollar store at the time. It wasn’t until I went on the internet to search for Zentangle® patterns that I came across their website. This is where I ordered a few more supplies which has kept me busy ever since. The thought of taking formal training in Zentangle® interested me but you know where I live. What is the possibility of that ever happening? LOL, well it did happen. Fort St. John is fortunate to have Deb Bowyer, CZT (Certified Zentangle® Teacher) of Deb’s Accidental Art or on Instagram. She took the training to become a CZT and I couldn’t be happier.
