Barley in the herb bathroom

He’s looking a bit sorry for himself because he HATES being washed but don’t worry because he had a whale of a time rolling in whatever it was !

7 days of painting 7 dahlias
I think dahlias are like nature’s firework display - the final show before the frost hits.

People talk about journaling but we are stuck in that being written. I like to do a different form of diary keeping…a creative one.
Sketching daily helps still the mind, carve out time, is meditative, and helps us notice the world. You can add note too if you want.

This week it kept storm Austen well and truly out too!

We get told to do the thing we love in life but sometimes life takes us on other journeys or we do the thing we feel we ‘should’ do.

For some reason I always thought the thing I loved the most (my art) couldn’t possibly be my thing. I felt sort of protective of it. I can’t really explain but it’s precious to me and I didn’t want my love for it to be ruined or diluted.

And you know what - the opposite is true. Bringing my art out into the world feels utterly liberating and whilst it’s less ‘safe’ I feel safe knowing it’s what I love.

IKAGAI is a Japanese concept of the cross section of finding what you love, what you’re good at and what sets your world on fire. Mine is this video - nature, art and capturing the beauty in the world. And I will do that forever.

Have you found your IKAGAI ?

There’s a double page spread I’ve illustrated in ‘s new book A Brave Life called Life Loves in Cycles

It really made me realise how our entire world and universe works on circular systems and how all of those systems are interconnected. It was a fascinating exploration for me and I hope it is for you too.

I also think it really shows how we are connected to nature and therefore why it’s SO important we honour these systems and work with them rather than ignoring them.

A Brave life is out on the 15th October but you can pre order now

I have this theory that we aren’t using our hands enough and they are the most underrated wellbeing tool in our whole body.

Over 380 million years our hands have evolved to be this incredible and highly technical piece of kit but all we do is use them for tapping and swiping ! What a damn waste.

Hand to eye coordination they talk about in kids is vital all through our lives. When we use our hands our brains light up all over so it’s no wonder that cooking/ gardening/ painting makes us feel so good. When we use our hands we also can enter a state of flow which is a form of meditation - I see it in my classes when everyone falls silent.

Another important practise is writing and is why journaling is so good for us . It’s as if what’s in our brains comes out through our hands…once someone told me they journaled in the notes section of their phone. Sorry but that’s not the same thing…journaling needs to be done by hand.

It’s why when kids revise they tell them to write things down or when I do a speech I write proper notes - it works the brain better than doing something digital.

If you don’t want to paint, play a sport that involves your hands, do gardening, cooking, writing, play an instrument….don’t waste your hands (and 380 years of evolution)) tapping on your phone. They are way too darn clever for that!
