in my mind
things that inform, intrigue and inspire me
The wind down of a busy year …
The final month of a year of great shift and change. I guess when I did the calendar last year, something in me must have known this was the message that needed to come through at this time. I think it’s a good one!
The joy of making with my hands!
Working with my hands is the thing I like to do most. Hands are incredible and what they know and how they learn fascinates me!
Looking forward and seeing some lovely things …
Funny, the theme of this months calendar/wallpaper is Be Who You Are … and that is the same theme I picked for my 2023 calendar! It was such fun putting that together, to see the idea just begin and take hold so strongly. I think it’s a good theme for the year ahead, and I am looking forward to it!
A bounty of possibilities in the studio!
In the turbulent world we are experiencing, HOPE is one thing I keep in the forefront. Hope is the connection we have to our Trust and Faith that the forces beyond our control or understanding, are fashioning a new world for us. I believe it is in our highest and best interest. This is my hope.
I celebrate connection …
In a unrelated (to the naked eye) series of happenings in and around me, I am feeling a connection to myself and others in a new way. It’s pretty exciting and certainly very energizing!
I trust my own wise self … and other voices
I have discovered a new freedom of being, and it feels quite fantastic. It seemed to come suddenly, but I know that the elements of it have been at work for quite awhile. This is the beginning of something magical.
My calendar says to celebrate this month! I’m listening.
Celebrating what is right in our every day is a great way to enjoy life in every moment. This month I will practice this even more!
Finally accepting what really works for me
The warm weather is slow to arrive here, and some days I find my thoughts and actions equally slow, but not in a bad way! I am learning more and more about the beauty and power of slow, and it turns out, it works very well for me.
Understanding the importance of connection
Sometimes I feel as slow to emerge as this spring has been. Yet I know that all things emerge in their proper time and way. I must be patient and just keep showing up. This is the best thing for me to do!
One third through a year of constant change …
There are so many changes … seasons, locations, world, personal … and it is important to recognize and honour them all, even in some small way!
