About the creator

WELCOME

Hi, I’m Shay,

a writer, artist, and collector of esoteric books, vintage treasures, and well-loved tarot decks.
These days, I’m softening, observing more, and rushing less. I’m taking art classes, writing children’s books, and exploring new ways to express myself. One story gently explores the grief of losing a mother. It is close to my heart, and I know I am not alone in that.
Shay of Vancouver is a quiet space where I gather my thoughts, explore creativity, and share what feels meaningful. It holds ideas still forming, a place to dream, and a reflection of the life I am learning to live, one rooted in presence, authenticity, and curiosity.
I’m drawn to the unusual and unexplained. I’m delving deeper into understanding the human psyche, mediumship, and layers of secret knowledge long hidden or dismissed. Art has always been a love, and now I’m learning to honour the artist within, the part that longs to create, express, and speak beyond words.
If you are seeking to live more slowly and with intention, craving a life with more soul and less rigidity, you are in good company. This space invites you to uncover who you already are without any need for fixing and to love the sacred beauty of your humanity.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What Inspires you?

I find inspiration in people who are unapologetically themselves, those whose quirks reveal their true humanity. It is in their curiosity and vulnerability that I see the profound complexity of being. I am moved by the quiet beauty in things and places that hold stories beneath their surface. More than anything, I live to be open to receive inspiration as a reminder of connection, presence, and the subtle threads that weave our shared existence.

3. Why did you start this blog?

I began this blog as a way to hold my reflections to gently gather and make sense of my experience. It is a space for honest self-inquiry a place where I can organize my thoughts and be present with my own life. Though it is shared openly it is first and foremost for myself a way to witness and understand my journey.

4. How many cats do you have?

We share our home with five beautiful felines. My husband and I hold a deep love for cats rooted in an understanding of their sentience and vulnerability. We recognize that like all beings who feel and suffer, they deserve kindness, comfort, and genuine care. Our commitment extends beyond affection to advocacy for their well-being and protection. In this spirit, we invite you to support the BC SPCA or consider opening your heart and home to a cat in need.
