fancy a cuppa?

I wanted to take some pictures of my working space... but did not want to schock people... So this is the nicest and by far the most inspiring item in my room! It is funny how much a small splash of colour changes the way we feel about our surroundings - the only thing I see in my windowless (ok, there is one in the ceiling..) box is my delicious Green cup filled with fennel tea ("light, acreeable and mild").

Getting inspired...

My current contract ends in the end of November. Again, I have to start looking for work... OR again I have the opportunity to be inspired by something new and start afresh. It feels SO exciting to be moving forward and at the same time SO daunting to have to go through the self-selling process again. It's always the same dilema : need to make money but want to be happy and inspired too. Want security but also want freedom and space for creativity. Below I have randomly listed a few things that have inspired me lately:

-Painting; my drawings are ending up as christmas cards for a local charity. How cool is that!
-Autumnal fresh air (this keeps me going the whole year through!)
-Singing classes with a new teacher
-Learning about people who have boldly followed their dreams and made their passions into professions
-Yoga; it seems I am finding my phase. finally
-Visiting friends' houses - especially when they don't mind me touching everything...
-Being home alone - this is great for a maximum of 5 days
-New bike!!! My new Kona makes even young kids jealous.
