  • Listening Deeply to Other Perspectives

    The world is a big place.

    There is so much to learn and see.

    However, as much as we may have many interests and enjoy learning about them, it would be difficult to try to understand everything!

    Thankfully, everyone has different perspectives.

    When we connect and listen deeply to others, we can begin to understand the many wonderful aspects of the world around us.

    We all hold different keys for each other and every key is unique.

    Don’t forget to share your perspectives as well. You will always find others who appreciate and enjoy the things you have to offer.

  • Rest and Reflection

    Hello again!

    I have just returned from a short break and I’m feeling inspired.

    Rest is an important part of the creative process, and as I looked out at the sea, it gave me the space I needed to reflect on my creative journey.

    I made sure to take the time I needed to journal and celebrate my wins, and it turns out that I’ve made a lot more progress than I realised.

    (This is another helpful reminder to be kind to myself!)

    Now I’m home again, I’m looking forward to sharing more adventures from the Mystic Woods with you very soon.

    In the meantime, stay tuned for a preview of the next episode!

  • Thank you!

    I’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who has read and enjoyed ‘Furber and the Mystic Woods’!

    I’ve really enjoyed working on these short stories.

    So far, we have met three nature spirits.

    Furber is taking a short break, but he will return very soon for some more adventures!

  • Finding Joy in Self

    People spend their lives searching for the things that they think will make them happy.

    ‘When I get a new car…’

    ‘When I finish my exams…’

    ‘When I have more money…’

    ‘…then I’ll be happy’

    When we think like this, happiness gets stuck in the future.

    And sometimes it can feel very far away.

    However, you already have everything you need to experience joy in the present moment.

    Remember the last time you were happy. Feel into that moment. Feel those sensations in your body.

    Joy comes from within us.

    And the more we can connect to ourselves with love and kindness, the more we connect with our own inner joy.

  • Being kind to yourself

    The world can be very overwhelming, and when it feels like we’re falling behind, it’s easy for us to get angry with ourselves.

    Acknowledge when you are angry and take a deep breath.

    Be patient with yourself.

    When the world is hurting you, treat yourself with kindness and compassion.

    Meditate,

    Read,

    Make art,

    Hydrate,

    Connect to your loved ones,

    Walk through the woods.

    Bring yourself back into balance.

    Take whatever time you need to recover, but most importantly, don’t let the weight of the world take away your light.
