A Soft Beginning 🌱
I read something today that stayed with me…about how creativity doesn’t always arrive in bright, shiny moments.🤔 Sometimes it begins in the dark. In the unsure, the quiet, the “I don’t quite know what this is yet.” We often celebrate the lightbulb moment… the ta-da!But what we don’t talk about enough is everything that comes before it.The slow forming, the muddle, the invisible growing. 🌱 Ideas don’t just appear fully formed.They stretch, they sit, they take their time.A bit like something gently rooting beneath the surface before it dares to bloom. And maybe that part…the murky, in-between bit…isn’t something to rush past or fix. Maybe it’s something to honour. 🙌🏻❤️ Because your creativity isn’t just the finished piece—it’s the whole journey of it finding its way. So if things feel a little unclear right now,a little foggy or unfinished… you’re not lost.you’re just in the beginning 🌱🙏🏼

@Kate Bullock great post. Creativity comes in waves, just like the tide coming in and going out. And when it feels like nothing is stirring - when the tide is out - that may be the precise time that an idea is forming, just as you say. The universe has a natural rhythm - and ebb and flow - and part of creating is allowing that rhythm to just be. The waves of insight and expression are often preceded by quiet and stillness.
Welcome 🙏🏼

@Dusty Whealon we all need calm in our lives 🙂
My office has officially moved outdoors 🥳☀️
There’s something about that first warm sunshine of the year that changes everything. Suddenly the air feels lighter, ideas come easier, and even the simplest tasks feel a bit more joyful. 😀 🙌🏻 Today I’m working from where I’m sat, soaking up the warmth, listening to the world carry on around me, and feeling very grateful for this little moment.💐 Sometimes a change of scenery is all creativity needs. 🫶🏻 Where would your dream outdoor office be today? 🌿💻

What the Plants Taught Me This Morning 🌿
I noticed some beautiful plants uncurling themselves towards the sun on my walk this morning, and it made me think about something… 🌿 They weren’t asking permission.They weren’t checking who approved.They weren’t shrinking themselves to fit the space around them. They were simply turning towards what helps them grow. 🌻 And maybe we forget we’re allowed to do that too. How much of your precious energy is spent trying to be understood, approved of, or liked by people who may only be passing through this chapter of your life? 🧐 How often do you make yourself smaller so others can stay comfortable? What might happen if you gently turned yourself towards the things that warm you too? Towards rest.Towards creativity.Towards peace.Towards the life that feels like yours.🫶🏻💗 Some people are here for a season.But you are here for your whole life.💜 Maybe your energy belongs with the light. 🤍

Creative Doesn’t Always Look Like a Paintbrush 🎨
Today was full of creativity… just not all in the obvious ways. 🧐 We went out and bought lots of beautiful bedding plants for the garden, so I’ve been knee-deep in compost and pansies. 🌸 💗 I took this picture below of my handsome boy Reggie and completely changed the background in Photoshop. This evening I’ve been editing some footage I took at the beach the other day. 🏖️☀️ And come to think of it… I got creative in the kitchen too and made pizzas with a yummy salad. 🍕 I love days like these. Variety keeps things interesting, but it’s also a lovely reminder that creativity doesn’t only live in drawing or painting. It can show up in gardens, kitchens, cameras, ideas, and all the little ways we shape a day. 📷🧑‍🍳🪏 A smidgen of creativity can be found almost anywhere if you look for it. 🫶🏻💜 Where did your creativity show up today ? Or was it taking a day off ? Which is obvs ok too 🙌🏻💜 Oh there’s also a picture of the sunsetting this evening. Will get pic of the garden tomorrow 👌

@Kate Bullock it's that time of the year when if you get high pressure like we have now and Easterly winds the days get warm but the nights are chilly! Enjoy your gardening too! Did Reggie snuggle up by the fire?
