The page reads - Don't endure your life, enjoy it
We can get really hung up about how things are while we are in the moment and forget that we can take action, one small action every day can bring about change on the bigger scale.....

Gratitudes - Living your Life
It has been 2 weeks since my brothers home coming service, it was lovely to see so many people come out and show their love and respect for Robert. We gave him a really good send off and everyone wore a touch of red which was one of his favourite colours. It still feels unreal and I think about him non stop and it still feels like he is just a phone call away. How precious his life was, and he leaves a legacy in his children and family, his love, warmth, passion, determination, peace and strength.
I have been thinking about my own life, my journey, dreams and desires. There are many things that I want to accomplish, I have still much growing to do in my walk as an artist - we all still have something to learn or a new technique to try. I am reminded that I need to step out and ask myself 'what if anything were possible what would you do next, and then what?' I have been working in the background trying to make sense of things and find my creative spark again. When I feel sorry for myself I hear the many conversations I had with my brother and he would tell me to 'just go for it!
Well, that's just what I am going to do. I want to share what I have been doing, in my art, do some videos of some of the processes, give myself some more challenges, write poetry, stories, photography, illustration, and just soar. As I have said many times, we only have this one life to life, and we may as well live it to our best. I will also be sharing what inspires me, and the work of other creatives, here on this blog, and on my wordpress writers blog.
Out of our pain and loss we have gained new insight into the life of those we love, those we have love and lost and the very meaning and purpose of our own existence. It won't be easy and there might be some days where we feel like curling up and crying our eyes out, that's OK, its all part of our life that we acknowledge. We don't have all the answers, but maybe I have a few that might be useful for someone else. I refuse to hide and pretend that everything is OK or to brush anything under the carpet - that is not being real, I am greatful for each and everyday I get another chance to make a difference. You will feel my story through my creativity and words, as I share we will go on a journey of uncovering together, sometimes you will get it, sometimes it could take a while or not at all, we all have our own 'stuff' to deal with. What is most important though is that you show up ready to 'step out', accept the challenge, grow, laugh some days, cry if you want to, be inspired and be real to yourself. What are you planning to do with your tomorrow?

Gratitudes - Giving Thanks
A year ago I saw a video about Ann Voskamp and her book 1000 gifts. It prompted me to do a year long celebration of all the things that I was grateful for. They ranged from the big things to all the little things that we often take for granted in our busy lifestyles. I am thankful for the opportunity to have been able to share and hope that you too have been able to look at your life a bit differently to make the most of what you are grateful for. I plan to continue and create a gratitudes journal and share inspiring and encouraging images. I hope you come along for this journey and create one of your own.

Gratitudes - The Summer
The sun as it beats down, relaxing in the garden, the sound of the birds, the summer holidays, children laughing, picnic in the park and a game of rounders, warm summer evenings, watching the sun set and blowing out the garden candle looking forward for tomorrow. I am grateful!

Gratitudes - Art Journals
Art Journals - my visual adventure. I try out new techniques, play, gain understanding, support and encourage myself to be the creative person I feel I have been called to be. I am grateful that my art journal doesn't judge or remind me of my areas of immaturity but encourages me to be my true self and enjoy the journey! What are you grateful for today?

Gratitudes - Journals
Every morning I get up and I write in my journal, there have been some days that I have missed with a promise that I will catch up when there is time. My journal houses my thoughts and ideas that I want to mull over, the problems of yesterday and the solutions of tomorrow. I am grateful that my journal can be another creative outlet. What are you grateful for today?

Gratitudes - Books
I love books, always have, the touch, smell, sound of the crisp pages as they turn. Amazed at what you can learn, insights you can reflect on. Places that you can travel to within the words as they weave stories of uncharted places. I am grateful that I have an appreciation for books that has been passed down to my son.
What is one of your favourite books?

Gratitudes - 30 Day Challenges
30 Day challenges and longer, have taught me that it only takes one small action to make a change that can impact the rest of your life. We all have the ability to do one thing differently today and you would be surprised where it could lead. I am grateful that I have been involved with several challenges that have enabled me to see different perspectives and new relationships. What will be your next challenge?

Technology is constantly changing, being updated. I am grateful today that I was born of a generation that can appreciate how it was and the many improvements that have been made that have a positive impact on our lives. What are you grateful for today?
