This week is shaping up to be a very exciting one! 🎨✨ Tomorrow Holly and I are heading up to London for one of our favourite annual traditions… the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. Every year we wander the galleries together, but this year is extra special because we’re finally going to buy a piece of art while we’re there. I can’t tell you how excited I am. 🥳🥳🥳 We’re also off to see Beetlejuice the Musical (its first run here in the UK!) and we’ll also be visiting the Frida Carlo exhibition too ! 🥰😍 It’s going to be a wonderfully full few days of art, theatre and inspiration. 🎨🎭 I can’t wait to soak it all in… and, of course, bring you along with me. If all goes to plan, there’ll be plenty of photos, videos and little moments to share along the way. Here’s to filling our creative cups. 💜

There is a small bean living inside you, Crayon clutched in hand, knees grass-stained, pockets full of treasures
 nobody else thought to keep. 💜 They are still building castles
from cardboard boxes,
finding dragons in shadows,
and whole new worlds
in the spaces between. 🫟 They have not forgotten
how to wonder. While the world whispered, “Grow up,”
they quietly waited, holding the door to imagination open.🫶🏻 So today, pick up the brush,
the camera,
the pen,
the thing that makes your soul sit up and smile. Get paint in your hair. Make something beautifully imperfect. And if you listen carefully,
you might hear that small voice saying, “Come on.” “Let’s see what happens.” ✨🙌🏻🌱

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about life, heaven, and hell. 😬🙈 What if we experience both while we’re here? What if parts of our lives can feel like hell, filled with pain, loss, loneliness, or struggle, while other moments feel like heaven? Losing my Dad last September has made me reflect on this more than ever. It has made me look back at my own life and realise that There were times that felt incredibly hard. But it has also made me notice the moments that feel like heaven. ❤️ For me, heaven isn’t grand or complicated. It’s my little garden on a sunny morning. 🌺 It’s laughter with the people I love. It’s sitting quietly with a cup of tea while the birds sing. It’s creating something with my hands. It’s feeling safe, content, and grateful for the moment I’m in. It makes me wonder: what do we truly desire from life? And what small changes could we make to create a little more heaven in our everyday days? 🤔 Perhaps it’s making room for more experiences. Perhaps it’s spending less time rushing and more time with the people who matter. 💜 Perhaps it’s noticing that the things we often chase are not the things that bring us the deepest joy. I don’t have any answers. Just a growing feeling that life is precious, time is fleeting, and maybe our task is to build as many little pockets of heaven as we can while we’re here. 🫶🏻🌱 What does your slice of heaven look like?
