Lately I’ve been trying really hard to notice the parts of myself that keep me small.The overthinking.The emotional reacting.The fear of getting things wrong.The waiting until I feel “ready”. 🫠🫠🫠 And honestly? I still struggle with all of it. 🙈 But I’m starting to realise that growth rarely feels comfortable while it’s happening.It’s a bit like shedding old skin. Old habits. Old beliefs about who we are and what we deserve.💜 Sometimes we think everyone else has it figured out, but I reckon most of us are quietly trying to unlearn things while learning new ways to be at the very same time.🙈 Maybe progress isn’t becoming somebody completely different.Maybe it’s gently returning to ourselves underneath all the noise. So if you’re in a season of feeling uncomfortable, stretched, emotional or uncertain… maybe that doesn’t mean you’re failing.Maybe it means something inside you is shifting. 🌿 And we’re all doing it together in one way or another.Small steps. Small noticing. Small brave moments.A smidgen at a time. 🤎 You guys are Awesome by the way ! 😍🙏🏼

Today I’ve been to visit friends and they have the most beautiful garden 😍 I had to share this small slice of heaven with you, no captions because the flowers speak for themselves 😍 I hope you had a nice day with a smidgen of calm whatever you’ve been doing 🥰 I will be posting Around the world in 80 sketches tomorrow as I am completing exhausted our friends have a 2 year old and she knows I am a sucker for Peppa Pig and running round the garden 🤦🏻‍♀️🫠 My heart is full though ❤️

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? 🌿💻

It’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. We can be so quick to set high standards for other people… while quietly lowering the standard for how our own needs are met. 🙈😬 Rest gets postponed. Boundaries get bent. Creativity gets squeezed into whatever scraps of time are left. So I’m curious… What would it mean if your needs were unconditional?Not earned. Not justified. Not only met once everyone else is sorted first. 🥰 Have you ever thought about this before? And creatively… what changes when your need for space, play, expression or rest is treated as valid from the start? Broad question, I know. But sometimes the broad ones open the biggest doors. 🌿

No right answers. No wrong answers. Just your mood in colour today. Maybe it’s bright and bold. Maybe it’s soft and quiet. Maybe it changes by the hour. Drop your colour below 👇💛 Mine would be peaceful green 💚 I’ve been super busy in the garden today but it was so good for my soul 🤩
