inspiration



How are your wishes going?

How are your projects unfolding? Needing some tweaking? Refining? Defining?

Any time is a good time to check in with your settings where is your ‘you-are-here’ spot and not only where is the X marking, but how do you want to arrive? 

You can celebrate any time 
your right now and all that got you here

then make a wish for your next moment

like my old fave Guru Adrian used to say ‘Celebrate Your Birthday Everyday',
Every breath of inspiration is a chance to express the whole of you.


Here’s to living life with courage, learning with joy and leaving a trail of love!
cheers!

Grazie

Grazie

for real tools

the unique

the barn


the view
Thanks for a wonderful week. Zermatt - behind the watches and chocolate and swinging snow scene - respect for a people who built houses way up here in the 1600s?! Who farmed. Who climbed the Matterhorn in 1865 with hobnailed boots. And not all the wealthy Englishmen who came, but the guides - like sherpas who knew the mountain. The one who climbed it 370 times the last time at 90, who never had a phone, but who could always be reached around sunset taking his afternoon cafe. Bold beings living life their way loving this land. This town has had no cars since 1947! - only way to arrive is by train and only vehicles electric taxi or bus or sled or horse and carriage - 
clear, clean, quiet - alive :)

suspense . . .



He loved the tingling
it stated in his toes.
The numbers counted down
his skin came alive from inside
when he heard the words
coming ready or not . . .

It felt like that when he waited with the others
the candles were lit. . .
Surprise!

And this time . . .
behind the door 
he barely breathed
he had the ring
ready in his hand.



my first go at Illustration Fridays  . . . each Friday they post a new topic  - "It was designed to challenge participants creatively. We believe that every person has a little creative bone in their body. Illustration Friday just gives a no-pressure, fun excuse to use it." -  want to have a go?

a bit of Paris

looking from the centre out in all directions

a little bit of Paris

old friends making new memories

little bit of wisdom - ok maybe a Levis ad?

Avenue of love

you gotta start by loving you ;)

sailing on the seven seas

a perspective

a promise

a question - what's your dream?

follow it . . .

The kind of moments you get when you're closer to things
when you get an invitation
and when you say yes

But what to do in two short wintry days?
Be with friends
Be amazed - again
Be curious - look beyond or behind
Be open - to what you find

What a gift 
a time out of time 
a moment 
out of all my busy mine
to just be
and soak it up 
a little atmosphere 
a breath of different air 
refreshed revived
re-inspired


You can take those moments anywhere. What's that great quote about change? It's all about seeing with different eyes? When I lived in Bondi, when I lived in Byron, even when I lived in Bali when I got so tangled up in my same life repeating myself over and over . . . I'd just take a different way home, put on a different tune, put on a different kind of hat and open the way for something new . . . 
give yourself a surprise - a gift to you xx
