Autumn Warmth
Good evening sweet hearts!
What a cozy day it has been. A whole day cozy at home with the fire burning all afternoon while it rained and howled outside. It was a real Autumn day, cold outside but warm inside.
It's currently 23:30 and I'm about to tidy up and get ready for bed. I spent most of yesterday cleaning and today was spent by the computer getting on top of admin. I feel like admin is one of those unwanted but needed projects. I've decided to dedicate one hour a day for admin so I can spend the rest of the day on creating. Without no art there is no business admin, so it's important that I find a balance. There will always be admin to do, so one hour a day will be a good shift in my work flow.
How has your week been? Any fun plans for the weekend?
In my effort to overcome perfectionism, I am pushing myself to post a blog post every day. Even if in my mind I don't have the best photos. There will come a time and place to showcase that work, but for now, like I've said before, this is more of a daily artist/human diary of this phase of my life 🙂 Who knows where it might lead. I have a dream vision but I'm open to what comes to me. I'm ready to receive and fulfill my soul purpose in this life. It's never too late.
One exciting thing that I did today was to finally unbox my new camera. I talked about it in a previous YouTube video and thought it was time. Today was the day I unleashed my new friend. I can't wait to take it out on adventures. I hope it's a nice day tomorrow so I can take photos and film for my next vlog. This camera is really good in low light conditions, so with the darkness coming now this camera will be perfect for capturing moments at home and outside when the light conditions are not so good.
If it's another rainy day then I plan on filming setting up my art studio and getting back to my childhood passion, painting. I have felt really inspired by the rocky landscape here on the Northwest coast of Sweden, and recently thought about creating a rock inspired photo and painting series. I have always felt that these ancient rocks are alive and have a powerful spirit of their own. I wrote on my recent Instagram post that I feel that they carry wisdom. I always go to the rocks and lie on them to feel grounded, to seek answers, and to feel their strength. I've done it for years. Since I have a tendency to overthink, I need to find ways to ground myself to the earth, and connect to the strength I know I have within. These ancient rocks help me feel grounded and connect back to my heart. I see how the rocks can help reflect the inner strength and calm that we all have.
As a child I was fascinated by rocks and would collect them. I have a whole collection on my window sill by the dining table that I'll show you in a future post. Right now I'm too tired to photograph it hehe
I took a few rocks back with me from Mallorca where I went on my meditation retreat. A suitcase full of rocks haha Just kidding, it was two or three really beautiful warm brown rocks and one that was white. It looked like a quartz crystal. I found them when we were out on our silent nature gazing hike. What a beautiful experience. I still need to tell you about it! I mentioned some things on my latest YouTube video but I feel I could talk about this experience for hours. The moment that really stood out to me was when I looked up at the sky during a grounding ceremony in nature, and I saw not one heart shaped cloud but a heart shaped cloud in a bigger heart shaped cloud! Amazing! I felt the magic and faith return to my heart, like my soul came back to me that night.
I better get to sleep so I don't miss the beautiful morning light. Plus it's getting close to "witching hour" as my Grandmother used to say.
Goodnight and sweet dreams ♥︎
