A good day.

I woke up this morning for a coaching session, which was really wonderful.  It is such an honour to be witness to someone's story and a part of their journey, if only for a short while.  The session was also a good reminder of how much I enjoy connecting with people in this way, and that what I want to do with my life is coach and encourage others.  Sometimes I fall off the path and let 'fear' entice me away and find excuses for not doing what I really want to do.  So that reminder is a gift.

And look at what I've been creating - I've started to crochet a poncho for my niece.  It will be finished very soon - I love the speediness of crochet!  I'm not sure if you can make out the background very clearly, but it's a piece of hand quilting I started back in 2005!  I'm intending to complete projects this year ... :)

A lesson for me and for you

ARTbundance™ in Australia!

My profile pic

Well, I've been working on my entry in the Artella directory for ARTbundance™ Coaches and Practitioners and thought I would share mine here with you!  So here goes:

"I live in the wonderful hills of Perth, WA with my beautiful family and gentle dog.  My life consists of embracing creativity everyday, whether it be through my crochet, knitting, sewing or mixed media art as well as taking care of my family which I also see as a creative act!

It's a passionate belief of mine that everyone is creative and I would love for everyone to embrace their own innate creativity.  I look forward to meeting many more creative spirits and sharing in your stories ...

To me, ARTbundance™ means undertaking the journey to finding your authenticity, using creativity to help come to healing and wholeness, and learning the way is inside yourself.

My own unique specialty is to help you embrace your creativity in a very gentl way by providing you with a safe space to do so, a listening ear and inspired wisdom gleaned from you sharing your story - I am a nurturer!  :) "

If you'd like to find out more about this method of coaching or the training itself, I'd be happy to answer any questions by email (just look for the contact button on my profile page).  I'm very happy to do coaching by phone or skype.

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend ... 

My Blissness Card

During my ARTbundance(TM) Training we undertook our own ARTsignments, which were great fun.  One week we had to design a Blissness card (reprogrammed business card!) which demonstrated who we are and how we envisage our business to be like.  So, I made a small quiltie - it folds up into a normal business sized card - which incorporates all my elements. 

Hope you like it, and can garner a little info about what my business is going to be about :)
