Hello and welcome to another creative wellbeing update ❤️

This has been a big year, I’m sure you’ll agree. It has felt very much to me like Life has been asking us to sharpen our focus, release old limiting ways and step more fully into our Essence.
What is our ‘Essence’, exactly? That’s for each of us to discover.

I’m positive that discovering our essence is one of the reasons why we are here, as humans. It’s a process of letting go, a discerning, a shedding of who we believe we should be, and an exploring into who we really are. This isn’t always easy, but in my experience, always worthwhile. For example, when I slowed down enough to truly listen to my deepest calling to enrol in full-time study for my Art Therapy course, I had no idea how I could make it happen. I was a single Mum, running my art business and working part-time to support my son, yet somehow, everything fell into place. The uni course offered weekend and night classes, I pared back on part-time work, focussed on my kids classes and have embraced student life - and I absolutely love it. Have I had to make sacrifices? Every decision made, means others are left behind, so yes. Am I glad I did it? With every single fibre of my being, YES. Every day I’m grateful I took the leap and continue to do so.

I’m leaning into my essence.

To honour our essence, we can start small - in fact that’s how life best unfolds. It’s in all the small moments, when we can check in and respond to what feeds our body, spirit and soul. Lots of small choices in the direction of our essence, means big shifts over time. We are also then much more practiced when the big decision moments come around - we’ve delivered to ourselves before, and we know when it’s time to step up. We keep saying YES to our essence.

If you’re here with me reading this, I know you’ve felt this calling too. The energy feels ripe to lean into our desires, and we intuitively feel we’re being supported by something greater, almost cheered on to keep reaching further into love for ourselves, one another, and our planet..

That voice within that whispers ‘Try this’ is getting more pronounced and it feels a greater risk not to respond, than it does to stay small and pretend. I know personally, I can’t deny myself and feel good about it at the same time. We feel healthier and more alive when we take the plunge and follow that stir in our guts to both shed and rise, on repeat. It build resilience and character and quite honestly, big gratitude for our own aliveness.

If you’ve been feeling the call to nourish into essence, perhaps this piece of writing is your confirmation of truth. It may be a letting go or taking on something new, either way it’s marked with relief. We hear it in our tummy, in our cells, in our hearts, and the outside world synchronistically offers confirmation and guidance to support us, each day of our lives. The more we notice and act, even when trembling and unsure, the more we strengthen our capacity, nourish our essence, and draw people into our lives who vibe the same way. What a gift it is to look around and realise, that suddenly we’re all here to help one another lean into our truth.

‘COMMUNITY’ MIXED MEDIA ON PAPER, FRAMED. $795

The framed images I’ve included in this post are a series of mixed media artworks I’ll be uploading in my shop in the coming weeks. I’ve found if there’s an intuitive artwork you ‘vibe with’, it usually resonates with your essence, and acts as a visual reminder to keep moving in that direction.

Each frame measures 50 cm X 60 cm (approx 20” x 24”) and is currently available for $795 plus postage. Feel free to get in touch if there’s one you have your eye on and would love to vibe into your life. Payment plans available.

Artfully yours,
