Delight Delight Delight

"Moyra creates theses delicious books that are full of creative explosions, a really cathartic and wholesome way to spend a morning that will help unblock and motivate you to bring more creativity and expression to your life " Annabelle Nicoll

What a beautiful comment about the Wild Art Journalling Sessions I am hosting at No 45. Brighton

It totally and utterly warms my heart that I am re introducing people to their WILD creative selves.  The work being produced is amazing and exquisite.  And I am loving how everyone is delighting in their creative expression. 

Such a Joy.

Got my Art Journalling group starting on Friday!






I am currently working on this.  Planning the structure.  Re planning it.  Thinking of the group and what they will want.  How to ask them. And give them tasks and yet let them roam free with their creativity.  SO excited about it.  Slightly nervous too, but in a good way.  I have SO much to share and say that its hard to crunch it all down into something that will be satisfying and yet indicative of how much more there is to do!  I may have to explain that it was kind of designed as a course, and is now a series of drop ins..... hum hum ho!  Going to have to be a lot of playing it by ear too. 

Just been reminded that sometimes less is more.   And Beginnings.  Creative beginnings.  Is a good theme. 

Oh yeah! SO excited! Its going to be fabulous.

track track tracking

Oh.  My.  Just found this.  I posted a little while back about tracking.  Its a personal thing.  This is what I wrote

I am the best yoga teacher / trainer / parent / artist that I can be



Actually things are going pretty well.  For most of it at any rate, and more on that later in the year. 


I do really need to get to grips with the finances being under control.  I cannot OH CANNOT seem to muster the time energy and so on to finish the damn receipts.  I  really want to do this.  I really want to do it by the end of next week. 


This week my priority is definitely the format of the art workshops I am running on Friday and Saturday.  I have been thinking a lot about them.  But they are still nebulous.  And i have quite a lot of people booked in, so I cannot be this nebulous.  I need a plan.  Particularly for the one on Saturday, which I am having to rethink. 


Am really looking forward to the holiday in half term with my family and cousins from Australia.  There is a heated pool and loads of car free grounds for Bub to run around in. Hurrah! 



I still have not found my ideal navy blue trainers either.

I am an artist. I am a host. I get stuff done and create my life.

I probably do more than just the above.  Am thinking a lot at the moment about what it is I "do".  Or maybe what it is I am. 

I am an artist
I teach yoga
I am a yogi
I parent
I host

I have 3 main things I do for money

Art / Yoga / Productivity Coach  (wince) (Oh I am still working out how to describe in the best way this part of my life) (going to have a bit of a go here) (I wish I could afford Alexandra Franzen!!to help me with my wordsmithery)

OK..... here goes.... How do I describe it best.  I help people make time and space in their lives for what they really want to do.

I help people make time and space to be more creative

I teach productivity.  Personal productivity.  I help people manage their work so that they are less stressed.  I help people declutter their minds.

I work with people to help them discover better ways of managing their work.  hmm, that's not bad. 

I change people's lives. 

I give down to earth, practical advice on how to make work less stressful.
I dunno.  What do you think???
