Maybe it’s a getting old thing, maybe it’s trying to find myself, maybe it’s a longing to feel like a child again.
That wonder and enthusiasm, without an agenda.
Everywhere I look these days it’s
PLAN YOUR WAY TO SUCCESS
GET RICH IN 5 EASY STEPS
TACKLE THAT TO DO LIST
MAKE MONEY DOING WHAT YOU LOVE
DOUBLE YOUR BUSINESS IN 7 DAYS
Everything seems to have some agenda. Everything you do needs to hold some financial value, or it is just not worth pursuing.
I am growing tired of this. Are you? Is it just me?
I feel a bit empty.
I have spent the last 15 years concentrating on looking after other people instead of myself. Being a mother to everyone and trying to fix everyone’s problems instead of my own, even when they don't actually need me to do it. Trying so hard to make things work, bending over backwards to be a nice person and to be liked and loved.
You don’t get rewarded financially for that. You don’t get rewarded emotionally for that.
I have built lovely relationships which have crumbled as soon as I no longer serve that person. It has been a hard lesson to learn. Like bringing up ungrateful children.
My children are plenty old enough to look after themselves, I need to let them make their own decisions and stop interfering. Stop being the decision maker and just be mum, who listens and doesn’t judge, who is there when they need me, rather than too busy looking after something or someone else less worthy.
I need to think about my whole self. What do I need? What do I want? What do I want to spend my time doing? What is important to me?
I don't know all the answers and probably never will, but I know I want to enjoy this one precious life I have been given.
Do you want to join me in an adventure without an agenda? Explore the world like a child, documenting the good bits and the bad bits, with your pens, paint and paper, iPad and apple pencil (or any other medium!)
Let’s make drawings of imaginary cottages with cats that can talk and decorate your books with stickers from old comics and tv shows that you watched when you were small. fill empty sheets with your adventures and turn them into zines! Make art from life!
Let's make oracle cards from vintage comics and old playing cards!
Let's listen to our intuition and develop a deeper understanding of our whole selves.
Let's be more 'now'.
I can’t show you how to make money, I’m no good at it.
I can’t tell you how to plan your life - there’s always something that tips that one on it’s head!
I can’t tell you how to create a wonderful online business that will support your whole family - it’s too hard and a bit elusive to me.
I can show you how to have fun in your journal though!
On paper or digital.....I’m trying to embrace a bit of technology too!
I AM good at being a kid, even though I’m 56!
I can show you how to claim back your childhood, be silly and magical, and create a journaling habit that will fill you with deep joy even if you’re currently battling a dragon (it doesn’t mean you can’t still have fun!) I have battled many and my journal is my weapon of choice!
I can also show you how to be your own magical life coach, through simple techniques and lessons. We are all forever learning and I want to share any knowledge I have gathered over the years, which may help you too!
I have started to create my Magical Map on the website as a place to start your journey, with areas to visit, filled with information, exercises, tutorials and much more! It's only just been created so check back regularly for updates or join my mailing list to get to know when I add new things to the map.
My life is changing dramatically right now so I may not be super consistent while I'm settling into the new me. I have to accept that I am not superwoman and never will be, but I am a SUPER WOMAN and you can be too!
Join my mailing list below to keep up to date with all the new things I will be sharing with you on this magical journey!
Let's dive in!
