Let's connect on instagram

“What you speak, you seek. What you write, you i

“What you speak, you seek. What you write, you invite.” This phrase I nabbed from @iamjosephmcclendon right smack bang in the middle of the pandemic (or was it the beginning 🤔). It’s been really easy this year to cling to the limitations of my circumstances, but instead of living in my emotions, I doubled down on self work. I chose to build my emotions a comfortable home within my mind so we could work together and help me to feel safe, loved and connected. Then, from that place of emotional ease I can live the F out of life. So whatever you need, say it out loud, write it down, look at it every single day. Give your brain good words and ideas to chew on and watch what happens. 📸: Here I am enjoying the feeling of complete strangers saying my name over and over while it’s also plastered on walls, coasters and menus 😂

22.11.20 // I’m BACK! Trying out the iPad today to capture yesterday’s adventures. I’m not sure if I’ll keep it digital or go back to pen and paper—what do you think? 🤔 Swipe right to see the illustration 🥰

I share my lockdown experience in this conversatio

I share my lockdown experience in this conversation with the delightful @jessicajmcdonald on her podcast Human to Human (link to listen in my bio). Living alone (and single) through some of the strictest restrictions in the world taught me that my internal world is vast, endless and nourishing. We can’t ever be afraid of ourselves, otherwise it’s game over. You can create your own enchanting oasis in the midst of utter chaos—the question is, will you take responsibility for your own joy and happiness?

This isn't how I look or feel today, but it's how

This isn't how I look or feel today, but it's how I'm GOING to feel one day soon. I won't have to worry about how long I can be outside or whether or not I'm there for an 'approved' reason. I won't have to panic if I accidentally touch a door handle and don't have hand sanitizer in my bag. I won't wake up short of breath, anxious about another day alone in my apartment. I won't obsessively check Instagram for messages because it's been days since I've seen anyone in person. Soon, all of these fears will be a thing of the past, part of a year that will be infamous for us all. One day, I'll camp outside for days on end, waking up to the sound of birds and take a deep breath of mountain air into my lungs. One day, I'll glide through the world, bumping into people on the street, enjoying their scowls and aggression. One day, I'll wake up in the arms of a lover who can't wait to start the day by my side. One day, I'll drop by a friend's place with a bottle of wine in hand, unannounced. One day will be this day, but until then, I chant: This is temporary. This is temporary. This is temporary. And I'll continue to hunt for joy in unlikely places, poking fun at the chaos with childlike wonder.

It’s hard to deny the truth. It’s easy to shy

It’s hard to deny the truth. It’s easy to shy away from the discomfort. I’ve been thinking a lot about sustainability in my life as a holistic concept: how do I keep doing what I need to do forever in a way that self perpetuates and doesn’t leave a trail of destruction? 🤔 For a start, I’m thinking deeply about what all this means. Using my own creative lens, how can I contribute to the new world order without shaming or blaming anyone else for their personal choices (especially when they don’t align with my own). Brain juices are bubbling away...

For as long as I can remember I’ve made it beaut

For as long as I can remember I’ve made it beautiful; the heartache, the trauma, the pain and the adversity.⁣
⁣
Whatever came my way, I consumed it before it ever had a chance to consume me.⁣
⁣
But something changed about 5 years ago when my mum died––I wasn’t fast enough to see it coming... and a tidal wave of life overwhelmed me.⁣
⁣
I’ve spent the last 5 years inching my way closer and closer to life––at first, I was miles behind, stalking it as my prey. Then, as I wrapped up my PhD project, I was but a whisker behind. So close I could smell the freedom and joy ahead of me.⁣
⁣
So I reached out as far as I could and grabbed life by the scruff of its neck, holding on while it zigged and zagged. But my grip was both too strong and too soft, so life sped away, leaving me to breathe in the dust it left behind.⁣
⁣
And here we are. ⁣
⁣
Just as I find my stride, life trips over itself and face plants at the start of 2020…and I absolutely steam roll it. Yep, I’m talking flat as a pancake, pressed down so firmly I can’t even feel my own heartbeat.⁣
⁣
In this liminal space, I close my eyes. ⁣
Then I hear it. A whisper at first, a quiet call to arms, a memory I’d forgotten to remember.⁣
⁣
MAKE IT BEAUTIFUL, life demands.⁣
⁣
MAKE IT BEAUTIFUL? I respond.⁣
⁣
MAKE IT BEAUTIFUL––WHATEVER IT TAKES, it urges.⁣
⁣
I don’t want to waste the best years of my life wallowing, cursing and crying into the winds of change. ⁣
⁣
MAKE IT BEAUTIFUL, I resolve. ⁣
⁣

This time a year ago I was selling all my stuff an

This time a year ago I was selling all my stuff and getting ready to hit the road as a full-time digital nomad. I was heading to Fitzroy Markets with my pal Claire and aiming to make a little extra cash for my impending journey.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I sold mostly clothes, books, kitchen utensils, shoes and a blanket or two. Walking away with a few hundred dollars for my efforts was awesome – I even felt lighter in the process. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the last 12 months I've: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Moved twice⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Experienced an icky breakup⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Dealt with a pandemic ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Lost 15kg⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Met dream clients (and not so dream ones)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Welcomed in new friends and parted ways with old ones.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And that's JUST scratching the surface.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So before you take a dagger to your beautiful hopes and dreams, think about where you were a year ago and how far you've come.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do it, right now – jot down everything you've done and achieved in the last 12 months. You might surprise yourself with what you find. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
