What if you don't need to know the ending? What if you let go of your grip a little? What if you give yourself a chance? See where it takes you....

Sometimes it's a struggle but I like to remind myself there's love inside if we close our eyes & keep quiet for a moment.

Note to self: That feeling - Anxiousness. Shame. Fear. It doesn't define you. So go forth and bloom :)

Coffee time ☕️ I've spent the day building the community space I asked you about in my stories the other day and genuinely can't wait until I'm in a position to launch it 🥰 For now, though, im going to grab a decaf coffee as staring at a screen all day requires many a break!! Looking forward to sharing more about the community in due course - i hope you're as excited as me!! 😊🕊🤍

Growth lies on the other side of fear! I know because fear is what got in the way of me authentically living my life for many years and now I'm taking small steps to move through my fear the personal growth is like a snowball. And that's not me flexing, its a deeply personal process that doesn't really affect anyone else but me in my internal world... the affect it has on me is to reinforce my desire to continue working through my fears because now I know the positivity that lies on the other side. Fears never go away. When you move past one, another pops up. If we accept that, and lean in, the outcome can be pretty magical. Perhaps this post can serve as a reminder that we all have fears that provide an opportunity for growth on our personal journeys... 🤍

I've been in the studio all day designing packaging, stickers and washi tape for my shop. It's been so much fun! I think im landing on this design as a mini 'thank you' card to be included in orders and wanted to share it with you now too in case any of you need the reminder today 😊🤍🕊

I've been focusing on getting closer to nature. Can you tell? 😅

We all have stories to tell. We discover them at different times in our lives. Some people are lucky enough to tell them from day one. Others find the courage to tell them later on in life. Whatever your reality, you're exactly where you need to be and your story is worthy of this world 🤍

My favourite thing to do lately is to go to the park with a coffee, sit in the spring sun and draw and doodle 🌞 I've only just started to feel confident enough to do it. To date I've been subconsciously worried about what people would think?! But now I've done it a few times I realise people are so wrapped up in their own little worlds, no one even notices 😊 I asked those of you that draw in my stories the other day if you also feel self conscious drawing in public, and the majority vote was for 'yes' so I thought I'd share a few things that helped me get over the fear:

🌞 know where you're headed before you leave your home
🌞 take someone you trust to sit with you and do their own thing
🌞 listen to music or a podcast
🌞 have a vague idea of what you might want to draw before you sit down to draw
🌞 if you feel anxious take a deep breathe and focus on the positive things around you like the weather, flowers, smell of coffee etc.

I was delighted to speak with on her wonderful podcast about the spark that got me creating again after 10 years in law, how to work through the fear and self doubt that comes with navigating a new world and my creative journey to date including my work (amongst many other things!). The episode is now available to listen to on your podcast app of choice, if you're interested! Thank you Emma for inviting me to chat with you, and for holding space for so many other creatives - you are an inspiration to me. Dont forget to dream big everyone!! 🤍

Thank you for the love you showed this gal in my latest reel 🥰 I'm slowlyyyyy thinking of starting to make prints and an online shop, just for fun to start with 😊 🤍

Another thought on self love 🤍 I used to always be busy. Always on to the next. Eventually I realised I was burning myself out, my nervous system needs wayyyy more rest, silence and calm than I knew. It's taken a while but now I love nothing more than sitting or painting in silence, especially after a busy few days. Do you consciously incorporate silence into your life? 🤍

13/03/2022

Lately I've been reminding myself of the power we have to love ourselves. Especially in hard times, trusting that we are there for ourselves is unbeatable. I've stuck this up by my mirror to appreciate this every morning. What do you think about self love? How do you practice self love? 🤍

I went for a long weekend to the seaside last weekend, to enjoy beach walks with Alfie and Andrew and to do a lot of painting. I ended up filling so many pages in my sketchbook with black gouache paint! So much fun and im definitepy a fan of a limited colour palette! What do you think?

💫 Artist Diaries 01 | I want to be an artist

In this YouTube series I share my journey to becoming an artist at 30. Its finally time for me to admit to myself that I want to be an artist and to take steps to continue to teach myself, do up my studio so it is a functional space and hopefully one day create a website and sell my art! I'm documenting the journey in the hope that it inspires others to follow their dreams too. If you'd like to join me on the journey, make sure you subscribe to my YouTube channel where I'll be sharing regular studio vlogs showing the process, challenges and (hopefully!) the wins along the way! Big love to all of you 🤍

I also made an analogue version of the painting I did yesterday! Instead of adding details using procreate on my I pad, like I did in yesterday's post, I used coloured pencils. Do you have a favourite (swipe to compare to yesterday's digital one)? 🤔
