Words in Images

So I have been drawing like I always do. A morning cup of coffee or tea or nothing will give me pause and my pencil and pen being finding a form. People often ask me where I get my ideas from when I begin each image. I don’t always have an answer but this week…

Today I will….

Today I will be a blessing: To bless some is to, in my world view, is to let goodness flow, pay it forward and backward and sideways from what you have and who you are. It is an action.

Going LIVING!

All this happens as the school year begins and I get to consider what it is I want to be doing in 3,6 and 12 months time. This time last year I had no idea I would be writing a blog about the life I am inventing and have no picture of as it is nothing like anything I have done before……. Eating and sleeping under a roof are luxuries in some places in the world but in my life are necessities. In my mind I am balancing sensible with totally not and trying to find a middle ground. Maybe there isn’t one and that is the point of going live! Going living in my Journey to Beautiful.

On being seen…..

So this last week was all about excitement and attending my own book signings and being seen for what is the content of my heart space about life and living. The other work I did, when i was professional and talked about topics relevant to the workplace was a masking of who I am in…

just a little butterfly

Butterflies figure a lot in my conversation from time to time. They dance through my thoughts often, and when I need to smile they appear somewhere in my day when I least expect to see them. The other day I went to the botanical gardens near my home with my grand-daughter, Miss 4. We went…

JOURNEY TO BEAUTIFUL…..

So exactly two years ago today I drew the lady in this picture. She in her tree lined way is going to be the cover to ‘journey to beautiful’. She was a moment of deep meaning, I was beginning to be able to breathe again in big breaths after my grand baby girl had passed…
