#gettingthereslowly

When I was 10 years old, I knew exactly how my life was going to go...until I was 18. This included everything I'd do and situations I'd face, but I didn't see past 18. Thought I would just die, and was surprised when I didn't on my 19th birthday. Every year after has been a pleasant surprise, and I'm grateful for it. Never thought I'd get to this age, or have such a cool life with so many amazing people in it, and I can't wait to see what the future holds. Here is a recent picture of my face not adequately showing how happy I am about life. 🎉🎂🎈 #grateful #hey #selfie #blonde #cantsleep #but #imhappy #abetterme #gettingthereslowly

Onwards and upwards

For the longest time I bought the cheapest art supplies I could, only to find that when you invest in the quality supplies, your work transforms. From higher pigment colors to paper that works with your water (not against it) and allows you to create new techniques you didn't know existed for yourself. What I'm learning (*and still learnings) is to invest in yourself. To believe that you're worth the time/money/energy. I'm a saver, I worry about money, and I'm learning to let that go in hopes that something more serving will flow. How are you investing in yourself? . . . . . #Slowandsimpledays #Slowlivingforlife #Slowlifestyle #gettingthereslowly #slowandsteady #slowlivingmovement #SlowLive #aslowmoment #calmcollected #beautyofstillmoments #ofwhimsicalmoments #ofquietmoments #asecondofwhimsy #cornersofmyworld #noticepausetreasure #ArtStudio #WatercolorPaints #GouachePainting #InsideMySketchbook https://www.instagram.com/p/CqLCI9Ir3VB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

There are few things that bring me as much joy as fresh office supplies. If we're only as good as our tools then I want mine to not only be high quality but also inspiring. Hit me with an emoji of your favorite office supply purchase! 🖊 **Lemon print on journal mock-up.

I need a disproportionate amount of care right now, and the one who is responsible for that care is me. I can’t assume that someone else will do it; it’s my responsibility to create a rhythm for my life that nurtures me, that brings me joy, that allows me to flourish, even given the weight of things and caring. -Shauna Niequist, I guess I haven’t learned that yet Wallpaper to create your calm space - Tropical Birds in blue available in the Modern Magic shop.

Creating space, finding rest, slowing down. Use this weekend to reflect on how I'm showing up in the world, taking up space, as well as making space for others. . . . . . . . . #Slowandsimpledays #Slowlivingforlife #Slowlifestyle #gettingthereslowly #slowandsteady #slowlivingmovement #SlowLive #aslowmoment #calmcollected #beautyofstillmoments #ofwhimsicalmoments #ofquietmoments #PursueWhatIsLovely #ChooseLovely #DarlingMoment #SeekSimplicity #Simpleandstill #simplethingsmadebeautiful #mymagicalmoments #asecondofwhimsy #cornersofmyworld #noticepausetreasure #consciousbusiness #consciousLiving #intentionalbusiness #intuitivebusiness #Companyofone #heartcentredbusiness #ArtBusiness #BusinessofArt https://www.instagram.com/p/CnhX8xKLXUP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Still lots of renovations happening, but because the family Xmas get together was at our place this year, I cleaned up as much as I could. Been working my arse off. Still lots to do in 2021, but getting closer all the time. #renovation #makingmydreamhouse #cleanedupforxmas #stilllotsmoretodo #gettingthereslowly #2020xmas #balihuts #paradiseinthemaking (at Brassall, Queensland, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJgEcKSB5Fc/?igshid=9kwyjdxlokmo
