Tomorrow the school run begins again.
The uniforms are ready. The lunch boxes are packed. The alarms are set.

And just like that, life starts speeding up again.
But before you disappear back into everyone else's schedules, appointments, needs and expectations...

When was the last time you created some space for you?

Without telling yourself you've earned it. Not because you've finally finished everything on the to-do list.

But simply because you matter too !

Creating Space is an opportunity to step away from the busyness of life for 90 minutes.

A chance to quieten the constant chatter of the mind.
To create space in your day.
To reconnect with yourself.
To meet like-minded people.
To enjoy meaningful conversation, creativity and connection.
No pressure. No expectations. No need to be artistic.
Because when life feels busy, overwhelming or noisy, creativity has a beautiful way of bringing us back to ourselves.

Just a warm, welcoming space where you can slow down, breathe and have some fun and even create something beautiful or meaniful.

Because sometimes what we need most isn't to do more.
It's to create space.

Oh my Goddess !

Have these beauties reminded me of lessons today !

The process of creating is far more important than the finished piece

To sit and stitch is like a slow meditation

Uncluttering my mind, slowing my breath,

Letting go of the perfectionism & quieting the inner critic

Trusting the process so ideas could unfold

Not everything needs to be adorned with every possible sparkly thing.

It can be just as beautiful in the calm simplicity

I can trust what I receive to guide me

I dont have to keep abandoing myself or my dreams

Then letting go of what I create & trusting they will call to their own new guardians !

Ive reframed my mindset ~
My days off no longer have to be housework or sitting doing nothing as creating isnt work its filling my cup first !

Devine feminine energy, love and abundance all flow easily to & through me and into everything I create when I give myself permission to be !

this was me Six years ago, this is when everything first started to really shift...
I never imagined how deeply things could change—how much I could change—how my art would change, by simply choosing to do something new, consistently, over time.

That’s how my journey with Awakened Bellydance began.
One step. One dance. One practice. One art piece. one moment at a time.

Creating new ways of being through movement, presence, and creative expression has transformed me—body, mind, and soul.
This is more than dance.
It’s an awakening.

A journey of self discovery , empowerment, and a completely new way of creating, by being fully expressive with art.
Are you ready to dance your way into a new reality ?

The first 4 of my newest Goddess Dolls have creatively come into being over the last few days
Each one created slowly and intentionally by hand… holding her own resonance, her own energy, her own story.

Each doll carries inside her
Rose Quartz for love, compassion, emotional healing & opening the heart.

Alongside handpicked rose petals for softness, self love, feminine energy and gentle heart healing…

And handpicked lavender for calming the nervous system, easing anxiety, supporting deep rest, peaceful sleep and soothing the soul.

No two will ever feel the same.

Each one quietly waiting for the woman she is meant to find

They are not even on the website yet so drop me a message if one is calling to you !

I nearly talked myself out of creating today.
The mind can be so loud sometimes… “It’s too hot.” “I'm too tired.” “What’s the point?” “No one will connect with them.” “I'm just not in the right energy.”
The excuses sound convincing when fear is hiding underneath them.

But I’ve started to recognise the difference between true intuition… and the voice that appears when something meaningful is trying to come through.
So I went back to my work table.

I tipped everything out. The beads, the threads the unfinished goddesses and the self doubt with it.

I lit my candle. Grounded myself back into my body. And instead of forcing creativity, I became present with the goddess sitting quietly in front of me.

That’s when everything shifted.

I didn't suddenly became motivated… I stopped abandoning myself.
I stopped waiting to feel “perfect” or fully aligned before allowing myself to create.

And slowly, stitch by stitch, bead by bead, my energy lifted

Sometimes we believe alignment is something we must wait for… when really, alignment is created the moment we choose to show up for ourselves.

These dolls hold so much more than fabric and thread. They hold emotion. Intention. Healing.
A message for every woman learning to trust herself again.
Including me.

Ones already called to her new guardian ?
Are there any calling to you ?

Sometimes, simply showing up for ourselves—as we are, in the fullness of who we are, wearing something we've created ourself or something we just threw on —can feel deeply uncomfortable, even overwhelming. There’s a rawness in being fully seen and heard, especially in our vulnerability.

So often, we choose to hide, to shrink, or to run the other way. It's not because we’re weak—it’s because somewhere along the way, we were taught that being vulnerable meant being exposed, judged, or not enough.

But there’s immense power in showing up just as you are. No masks. No filters. Just you.

And while it may feel scary, that is the doorway to deeper connection, healing, and freedom.

You're not alone in feeling this way—many of us carry these fears. But with compassion and patience, we can gently learn to stand in our truth and let ourselves be seen, even in the perfectly imperfect messiness.

And in that moment that's where we face the fear, feel the soft braveness and reclaim our power !

There’s something deeply calming about creating with our hands
Yesturday we spent the morning painting papers with soft watercolours, folding pages, creating tiny mindfulness books, drinking tea, chatting, slowing down, and simply allowing ourselves space to be.
In a world that moves so quickly, these gentle moments matter.
No pressure. No perfection. Just creativity, connection, colour, and quiet little pauses throughout the morning.
These mini books were created to keep close — tucked into a bag, placed beside a bed, ready for moments of inspiration, reflection, grounding, or calm.
“Creating Space” is becoming exactly what I hoped it would be… A softer space to reconnect with ourselves and each other through creativity
