CONNECTING TO MY SOUL

the past 6 months i have been writing every morning, its not a journal as such, its more of a writing down my thoughts, i was inspired to do this after reading this book. I can often solve problems from writing, the thing is most of it i cannot read as the writing is so bad....i just write at speed whatever comes out, a form of automatic writing, but every so often i write a word or a thought out big and bold. This morning as i sat down to write in my normal place......





all day yesterday and particularly last night i was caught up thinking and worrying about things that i really shouldn't be worrying about, it had left me feeling rather down (i often battle with feeling down!), as i opened my writing book i was faced with these words i had written the day before.......




FOCUS ON THE RIGHT THINGS!

Well, this put things into perspective. Today i am listening to my own advice and focusing on only the good, right, things today, and oh how this has made me feel so much more at peace with myself.


This beautiful butterfly visited me this morning whilst i was writing....a very good thing indeed!  


still focusing on the right things......last week i had an exhibition with my art group at Arundel in west sussex. I was Artist in Residence for 3 days and got to paint at the entrance of the beautiful castle.

Monday 27 August 2012

oh monday again! and a bank holiday too, but i have no exciting plans for toady!
just catching up on a few things that i have let slip by! Last week i decided i needed to organise my life as i was rather overwhelmed by so many things i just found i couldn't cope any more....needless to say i started doing things, like tidying up chucking out paper work that is not needed.....i think its all to do with i have to do my tax return!!! arghhhhhhh!  the thought of it sends me off into lala land where id rather just plod along in my little rabbit world and not take any notice of important things!
soooo...i am trying to stay away from lala land for at least a few hours in the day and actually accomplish important things!.....updating my blog is one of them may i add!! *pats myself on back!
i have exciting new lessons i am teaching and i thought it best that i maybe should really look as if i know what i am doing ;)

i was so very excited to be featured in Redpepper Magazine this month, it was a fantastic pictorial 4 page spread!


all very exciting stuff!
