Self Portrait April 2012


Me!!! Yes an actual photo of me! How Brave ! 

One of my intentions for this year was to take more photos and now I have a phone which makes this even more easy too do so. I have installed Instagram and I hope to play a bit more with this app.  

I love the work of Liz Lamoreux  And ages ago I bought her book : Inner Excavation and it is about exploring a creative process with YOU at the centre of the subject matter. While I loved the book and its intention, I did not love myself so much so it was more of an aspirational project. Now I feel ready to take it on so I hope to share with you some of the work here.

Have a lovely day!

New start!


OK here goes.....

Here I am, a rare photo of me, one thing I am thinking of doing is changing that and taking more photos of me this year......

Time to take care of this unhappy girl once and for all. As I said in my last post I am ready to take on some changes in the name of radical self care. I brainstormed a list of things to take on, some deep, some silly. Collectively they will create an awesome 2012 and I look forward to showing a different picture in December. I read all the time that one of the key drivers to success in any project is to declare your intention and document it so here I am. This is not a weight loss blog, no lists of calories and food. It is a life change blog.

It will a progress to turn this girl's life around and also a declaration of commitment for me to this project.



So, 2012 will be awesome because I will :
  • read more books
  • choose healthy
  • cycle more
  • eat more oranges
  • drink more herbal tea
  • drink more water
  • volunteer 
  • get a job
  • add new recipes to my repertoire
  • get baptised 
  • work for my church
  • keep a one sentence diary
  • blog more
  • spend more time behind a camera
  • get rid of useless belongings
  • finish more paintings
  • listen to more music
  • Live the good advice I seek and hoard
  • grow some food
  • enjoy the garden
  • develop my personal style and look nice every day
  • light more candles
  • Grow more flowers
  • journal and create

Enjoy your day xxxxx
