Creative Joy! Isn't About The Big Moments In Life

Creative Joy! Isn't About The Big Moments In Life

Happiness for me isn't about the big moments in life but about everyday little joys. About small pockets of beauty, calm, creativity or just something personal that makes you slow and enjoy that moment. A coffee first thing, a hug from a loved one, seeing a flower on the way to work.

When these little pockets of time are strung together they can create infectious ways of feeling inspired and looking for the positive in any situation. Seeing the world afresh, where the colours become more vivid and senses open up to possibilities.

Here are some of my creative joys, which I have created for fun and to keep inspiration flowing. I grow a flower cutting garden which I love and can often be found bare feet in the dirt. For me these are special moments watching, growing and waiting for the bloom.

I also love to play with items in the studio which are normally housed on the shelves and ledges. I love making them come to life in little stories. I hope you like them and can feel the joy. If you do be sure to follow for more on Instagram and sign up to the newsletter.

What Is Inspired living? Be Inspired - Dream - Achieve

What Is Inspired living? Be Inspired - Dream - Achieve

• 1.1.18

Inspired living now is about being excited about life, appreciating the little moments every day and enjoying not always being perfect. It is not just about being present or breathing the correct way, although this helps. It is about embracing, investigating and being curious about anything that could be of interest. From new and old, from handmade to technology, inspired living is about finding time for you, self-discovery, dreaming big and achieving goals. Sharing together by learning, having fun and supporting each dream as we discover more about ourselves and others. 

First, we have to be inspired and then we can build to follow our dreams and adventure forward. Wherever you are heading, to begin a business, start a new hobby or home project, let's journey and get inspired together. 

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of thier dreams. - Elenor Roosevelt
