A Finnish women's magazine published an interview with me and another ostomate Maija-Kaisa about life with an ostomy. The pictures turned out lovely I think. ππ
I'm wishing you a good beginning for this new year. πβ¨
If more and more people started using their true potential and skills, how much wonderful change would we create in this world?
There's strength, potential and talent in you! How can you put it to good use for yourself and others? π
P.S. If you missed my short video from the Christmas circus performance, you can watch it here: youtube.com/shorts/vXeyOLe4keM
Have you yet seen my hoop dance video? β¨ Here's a picture of the dreamcatcher stoma bag I was wearing while performing. I created the artwork first and then noticed that it matched my hula hoops perfectly!

Yhteinen taival -23
Hello everyone! I've shared a few pictures of the art I create on my stoma bags on my videos. I also make other kind of art, like watercolour paintings. :)
This painting was a wedding gift to my dear friend. I enjoy painting animals, and especially love spirit / power animals. That's why I chose to create a picture of a rabbit and a wolf. The rabbit is an important animal to my friend, and I heard she had once said her husband would be a wolf.
I named this artwork Yhteinen taival which is Finnish and a poetic way of saying 'the shared journey'. π
Do you create art or handicrafts? :) I hope you're all feeling well. π

It's late summer in Finland and a good time for harvesting berries. I've been picking blueberries, currants, raspberries, gooseberries, and also apples. I put the berries in the freezer for the winter, and the apples I usually dehydrate. My mother makes jam and juice too. π
I'm going to film some new content soon. In the meantime, take care and enjoy the beginning of autumn / spring :)πΈ
Last week I gave a presentation to ostomy nurses at a seminar in Helsinki. I talked about living with an ostomy courageously and the art I create on my stoma bags.
In my next video, I'm going to answer a few questions people usually have about an ostomy. I had these same questions in mind before my first ostomy operation.
Is there something you'd like to know about a stoma? Share in the comments below or send me a message! π
