Had a really productive day today at @strodecollegeart working on my pathway project #adistanceformsaroundourbodies . Being a working parent as well as a student makes those precious hours I can access campus so much more focused as I am working in the constraints of school drop off and collection. Really got into a nice #flowstate playing with mirrors and reworking the #selfportrait stencil made for a previous workshop by scratching into a mirror and drawing onto another. Also got help from the amazing Martin to play with the #lasercut machine and made a test piece for a Road sign stencil responding to a #socialdistancing sign I photographed whilst visiting my family in North Wales- can you identify all the languages? Had to include the beautiful #rainbow that appeared outside my window this morning and set the day off with a smile :) #glastonburyartist , #artistlife , #timemanagement , #livinglifetothefull https://www.instagram.com/p/CFzqWDEFmCk/?igshid=1lytbfc43j18p

But how does the concept of Wabi-Sabi work as a life style to embrace? That’s the beautiful thing, it’s whatever you want it to be. I searched for “the perfect simple life”for ages it wasn’t until I stopped striving for that Insta perfect simplified life that I realised I was pretty damn close already. And so “a wabi-sabi way of life was born. Wabi- sabi is a Japanese phrase which loosely means embracing the imperfections, seeing them as beautiful and going with the flow of life. The Wabi-Sabi Way Of Life For me is about 🌀Let go of perfect. - perfect is not real. All around us there are imperfections. Take a look. 🌀Making sure your circle is one that aligns with who you are & who you want to become. 🌀 When blips happen in life go with them, ride them through, then find a way to move past them. 🌀 Working on you. Self care, not just bubble baths and a nice mug of tea although that’s important too. But real deep care of your whole self. 🌀Acceptance. Accepting those things that have happened, using them to help you grow. Accept where you are in life. 🌀Allowing yourself to dream the impossible, and going for those dreams. Because impossible literally says I’m possible. 🌀Live in the moment. Live for what’s is right now. We never know what is around the corner. Life moves so quick the only way to slow it down is to live for right now. 🌀See the beauty in your days, in your life. Gratitude for those little things really helps to get through what feels like a tough day. And get specific. Not I’m grateful for food. But really feel what you are grateful for. I’m grateful for that delicious home cooked lasagne because it’s nourished my body. Can you start embracing The Wabi-Sabi away Of Life?

JOY

I’ve been meaning to write a blog for a while now, and just never got around to it. I always seem to think of a brilliant idea usually around 1am when I’m just about to read my bible before passing out into some weird dream or other. But today (Mother’s day) I was finally inspired to make that late night musing a reality.

Now, I watch a lot of films (My excuse is ‘I have siblings’, but we all know that’s just a cover). My child side loves all things Disney and Kung-Fu Panda, while my wanna-be adult self and her Dad are die-hard Star Trek fans! ( Well, Voyager, the Next Generation and the Chris Pine films, but still counts!) I originally thought about writing a blog solely on all the life-lessons learnt from my many years of inter-galactic experience, but honestly who would like to read a whole lot of waffle about warp drives, Klingon’s and the Ferengi anyway? The world is weird enough as it is.

Anyway, last night while Dad was out at some fancy dinner, two of my sisters and I ordered an Indian and put Joy on Netflix. Honestly, I don't usually go for drama’s, but it’s Jennifer Lawrence! What’s not to love? 

Quite honestly, the film was brilliant! Jennifer was fantastic, all the actors were stellar, and we were gripped from the start. 

Even though I loved the film, I hated the fact that it was a true story. 

Joy’s life was HARD! And yet, so many people’s lives are just as difficult. I usually watch films to escape and be entertained by fiction, so It seemed ironic that the film was called Joy when there seemed to be so little joy in the plot. Never the less, the thing that kept nagging me throughout the whole film was this:

Whose voice are you listening to?

**SPOILER ALERT**

The trailer screams at us two messages: ‘You can’t always get what you want,’ and ‘Don’t ever think the world owes you anything, because it doesn’t.’ Joy has her dreams on hold. She was a good, self-sacrificing girl, living her life to please others and help her family in their chaotic lives. But in that process she begins to lose herself. 

Joy is constantly taking other people’s advice, letting their ‘words of wisdom’ crush her spirit and her dreams, trapping herself in a prison of her own making. She could have been happy with her life, but she just knew she was built for more.

We all know that feeling, and at some point or other, we’ve all believed the lies that whisper around us: that ‘we’re not that special,’ ‘we’re never going to amount to anything,’ ‘who do you think you are?’ 

Yet we can feel we were made for something greater. 

Some of us take the leap, and break away from our pattern of existence and attempt the race for our dreams. But often when we decide to chase a dream, life seems to suddenly become impossible, and all the excitement and enthusiasm gets squashed out of us. The fear of failure and disappointment can overwhelm us, and even the thought of these fears have many of us bowing out of the race before we’ve even begun. 

I lived there for a while, thinking there’s no point in ever trying to be a songwriter as there’s so many of us ‘out there’ all trying to make it big, and who’d want to listen to my stuff anyway? (I even wrote a song about it, but that’s not the point...)

The point is that Joy comes to the ‘quitting-point’ so many times, but at every turn decides to carry on with the fight, and not give up. Even when her family betrayed her, her advertisers failed her, and her business partners gave up on her, she kept on going. She remembered her destiny. She remembered her dream. She remembered she was JOY! She was a fighter, a designer, a mother, and a dreamer. She was all these things and more.

So to summarise, the moral to all this waffle is this: 

Who are you? Who were you designed to be? What would happen if you took the risk and chased your dream? Could you possibly inspire others to break out of their boxes and chase theirs? 

Thank you Joy for breaking one of my boxes.

Have You Heard Of The Law of Accumulation?

Have You Heard Of The Law of Accumulation?

Have you heard of THE LAW OF ACCUMULATION? I’m sure you’ll have heard the quote: “Enjoy the little things because one day you’ll look back and realise they were the big things”  I’ve got a little sign that I pass everyday as my reminder to myself, but I interpreted it as meaning enjoy the beauty of everything – the sun, the flowers, spending time with my granddaughters and family etc. However,…

Listening to I am a Badass by Jen Sincero Personal Development, which counts as work, while walking the dog. And earlier a selfie in the Hilton I dropped @kurtc1989 at. I'm not normally awake this early. Body normally forbids it. Hahaha. I'm such a badass.
