We all know that exercise helps us to better cope with stressors in our life, but what exactly are the mechanisms for this?
Here's a brief overview of how exercise can help improve our state of mind and resilience.

Here's a run down of all the creative arty crafty projects and art workshops I'm facilitating over the next couple of months. Hope to see some of you there. 😊

Some places make you feel calm and connected or feed energy into your grid. Others drain you of energy or result in a sense of dis-ease. Those sensitive to the energies of a place will have felt this, and understand.

The Egyptian desert has an energy that is palpable, supported by the lack of interference from noise and elctronic pollution, and magnified by the presence of the rich minerals and crystals under the sand.
Just like quartz has the power to harness energy in radios and watches, so too do the crystals in the desert, if you are open to a connection of that sort.

When you think of it, we are all simply highly complex, animated solar powered salt batteries in essence. Sometimes we need to ground and plug in to the earths grid for a boost!

This mound of rock before me is actually part of the Crystal Mountain, a ridge formed of quartzite, calcite, and barite crystals. Located between the Bahariya Oasis and Farafra Oasis, it is thought to have once been part of a cave that since collapsed, revealing the crystaline structures beneath.

I've always been of the mindset that I'd rather be respected than liked ... but I've also learnt over the years that it's not a bad thing to be liked as well.

I feel like my souls calling though isn't really about being liked, popular, or in the spotlight. Although I have goals and ambitions for myself, my true passion has always lain with helping other people to achieve theirs.

I may sometimes come across as a tough taskmistress in my goal oriented teaching and delivery, but it's always delivered with honesty, integrity, passion, and commitment in helping everyone to shine to their full potential.

If you want to rise creatively, explore your own passion, navigate your options and opportunities, or expand your vision, I'm really just here to provide the platform and education to lift you up .. and I'll cheer for you every step of the way.

Cheers. 😊

Yesterday I taught a watercolour sunsets workshop in Kiama for Kiama Library. Sunsets and landscapes are a lot trickier than one may imagine. Because it was such a rainy and humid day, the paper stayed quite damp for longer too, making adding details even more tricky, but everyone did a marvellous job.
The two images we used as inspiration are of Kiama Lighthouse and Seven Mile Beach.

Since returning from the pristine environment of the Egyptian Western Desert my husband and I have noticed a difference in our breathing, lungs and sinuses. The air feels considerably heavier here, and our allergies and irritations have returned along with the change of the seasons.

So, today we took time out of our schedule to visit the salt room at in Shellharbour City Centre to sit in quiet comfort, relax and meditate away from our cats, and breathe in some salt to help clear our airways.

I have also been dealing with the onset of rosacea (another gift from menopause, the gift that keeps giving 😅), so the potential benefits are twofold in that respect.

Have you visited a salt room or tried salt therapy? What benefits did you find for yourself?

Participants works in progress from our recent Illawarra Lakescapes workshop series. I'm so proud of everyones efforts. The lake is a more challenging subject to paint than one may imagine.

Twice a term I provide an opportunity for a live in studio class for local participants to meet up with each other in person as well as for me to be able to assess technique and progress.
Last nights Barre Flow was attended by Donna and Elizabeth, who made it all look way too easy ... although I am sure Elizabeth may not completely agree. 😅
