Creatively Crazy!

Relaunching soon.

I’m not sure where the last month has gone? Well, ok, I do really, but it really has flown!

Creative? Yes. Crazy? Yes. Not about to change a habit of a lifetime there.

This year has been for me, life changing in so many ways. I really have gained in confidence, learned a fair bit on how to be self compassionate, and am definitely in a good place with who I am. You have been warned!

So in the midst of all this a month ago many things happened and with new found confidence decided to get my old website back. Domain name sorted, now just time to build the damn thing. I am being challenged by my good friend who is helping me sort this, because I am the least technical person I know. My typos can be legendary, I do photography yet do not know when I am making a video call where to be and end up near blind not to be able to see anything on my screen. It’s all in the lighting - you’d think I’d know!

I’m having to dig deep to not make my bio “a resume” but more of who I am and what inspires me, what my passions are. I have to get back to organising my folders of work. I also have inspiration to start painting again, maybe similar to what I’ve done in the past as it stands, but I love doing abstract figurative work because it relaxes me and all of my feelings go into each one. When the site is all done, it will be a much updated one. So many things have changed since I closed my previous down, thank goodness I have guidance!

I’ve spent a lot of time reminiscing over lots of things, in part as my Mum’s house goes up for sale as she’s now in a care home. (No pity needed, long story) I have spent hours going through old photos and loving the memories it’s brought back. (Not from mother’s home, she binned all those!) However, I am most definitely looking forward, I know what I want, I know who I am, and I’m going to go for it!

So, bear with me. This blog will still be very much my ramblings, there’ll even be a link on my new website to here when done if anyone is nuts enough to want to know some of what goes on in my head.

This image seemed appropriate to finish with, I painted this many moons ago, entitled “Soul.” I’m not one for religion, I would describe myself as spiritual, and I have very much rediscovered my soul.
