How do you translate hope in Portuguese? Just ask Joana (44) @joanacabraloliveira ~ Catarina (9) ~ Eduardo (7), and Carlos (46) a lovely family from Lisbon in Portugal 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 . They’ll just show you that all it takes is a big open heart, a little jump in the unknown, and lots of carefully chosen colours. Weave them all together with your favourite people and send them away across the pond to bring a smile on the face of a warm hearted bear and his side~chick ! Thank you so much guys! You’ve spoiled us. Be sure that we’ll cherish every bit of your magical parcel !👜🪄🪅🌟🥰🌻🥰More from the bear in vidéos 🎬👉🏾 Ps:Your colors work beautifully with the Cabral family’s. And I don’t think it is a coincidence! #supercolouringin #hope #connection #creativedementiacare #ourcreativejourneylivingwithdementia https://www.instagram.com/p/COAaicXnWat/?igshid=7m6dkxt7zzrh

Good bye little birdies! Yesterday Sarah, one of the @letssticktogether2021 artists, came by. Her visit gave us the impetus to finish our triptych. We’ll be posting it later today. It’s been great so far sticking our loopy experience together while listening to the beats of many other lives. Looking forward to hearing more! Thanks @sarahcuddon @emilytracyart @longstream @libraryofchange @bromley_by_bow_centre for giving us a space and tools to reminisce and reflect, so we can fuel our next move with good vibes! #lifecollage #creativedementiacare #communitysupport #colourfulvibes https://www.instagram.com/p/CN9rRWlHIf3/?igshid=ccg8rbvd7t6f

Ever wondered what an indoor firework looks like? Just ask my nephew, Rafael! I gave him a very important mission only a few days ago, and he rallied all his family around to execute it with such bravado! I’m so proud of him, little fireball! 🤩 #supercolouringin #creatingtogether #nurturingdeepconnection #muralofhope #creativedementiacare #spontaneousoffer #supportivecommunity #sharingyourcolors #smile https://www.instagram.com/p/CN2Cglbnmsu/?igshid=fw8y8nt8mplz

Nothing better than receiving a new tile to start the day! This time it came all the way from Germany where little Martha and mum Claire live. D’s reactions in videos 🎬😉👉🏾 Claire is a very special soul. I found her work in the area of feminist anthropology and sustainability online over 8 years ago I think. Around the time I was looking for other like-minded birds to roost around the ideas of enabling others to create sustainable communities by nurturing their *minds et motion* 🌱 Lots have happened since but our long distance friendship has sustained all the changes. It’s the kind of friendship built on a deep intuition the other gets you without needing many words. You just admire each other for who they are from a far and hope one day you’ll get to catch up in person around a cup of tea! Thanks Claire for being the lovely person you are! 😘 #friendship #supercolouringin #creativedementiacare #creativemurmuration #muralofhope #happypost https://www.instagram.com/p/CNr0AVEHurV/?igshid=dazr5faoskij
