Each months release will include a photograph I’ve taken, that I feel inspired by accompanied by an inspiring theme, prompt or meditation. For example a sweet curve in a doorway makes me think of softening when life throws curveballs, a pink home reminds me to infuse my life with colours that bring me joy (as I currently cant paint my home pink!), so get creative with what you can do!

The good news on devotion…..

Lately, I’ve been gathering a little mental (and physical) collection of the things that are speaking to me — and I thought I’d share them here, not as a checklist, but as a kind of reflection, a record of what’s resonating. A window into the life I’m quietly creating.

Let’s rework the ordinary.

Refresh what’s grown stale.

Let’s bring a breath of new air into how we begin our days.

Earlier this year I was lucky enough to stay with her family for 5 days. Singapore is gorgeous and hot, humid like I’d forgotten. Humidity aside, walking through the streets of Singapore is a delight. On my first day while Victoria was working, I took my camera and walked the streets. As you walk the streets you can walk under the shelter of the Shop Houses. They are designed to keep you out of the sun, so clever.

Beauty News ~ 2nd edition.

For the longest time, writing things down has really helped me articulate and step toward many of my life visions and dreams and many of them have come to be. Its a really soul satisfying thing, to have what’s in your heart come to be manifest.

I was looking at the space where my altar used to live, with statues of Ganesh and Lakshmi. Now days its more of a compote, a mix of small things that bring me joy and beauty. A ceramic truck from Sorrento, a vintage mirror Andrew gave me for Christmas, a small Italian angel I bought in Sorrento, a box of fragrant candles a good friend brought back from Paris.

Happiness for me is creating art focused around my North Star of Beauty.
