🌿Yesterday was a soulful day, the only behind the scenes pics I got because honestly I was so in the moment. Yesterday I had the honour of photographing this beautiful woman who showed up with her whole self.

Honestly, I’m sore today ( turns out rolling around with a camera on the floor in your 40s is its own workout 😆) but wow my heart is full.

I’ve said for years and will probably keep saying it but it’s way more than “just” photography it’s women witnessing women, it’s connection, it’s art it’s flipping Healing it’s incredible and beautiful.

To everyone who has reached out about my mini sessions, shared kind words, said YES to stepping into my studio Thank you, it’s truly amazing to connect with you and to those who said YES!
I cannot wait to photograph you ♥️ I already feel this is going to be a beautiful journey.

Love Em xx

The morning after I do a photoshoot I wake feeling deeply alive I feel somthing stir in me that I can’t quite explain a sense of remembering who I am photography just doesn’t give me images but aliveness, maybe you can relate when you feel that alive that warm excitement deep in your belly when you create from that place. And truthfully I don’t know who I am without photography.
I don’t know exactly how to find my way back, i talk myself out of taking photos, from sharing it’s all changed, but maybe i don’t need to find my way back, im not that person anymore, maybe i just need to follow these fuzzy feelings and tell that not very helpful voice in my head to jog on!!

A quiet return is unfolding, this marks the beginning of a new chapter a visual journey I’m calling “ A Soft Return “ a project a body of work exploring tenderness, reconnection, exploration, the slow beauty on finding photography again, myself as an Artist, who knows what will happen.
Love Em ♥️

I have never had another photographer in my space before, watching how I create especially when my work is soft, intimate and full of emotion, it’s the first time I’ve shared this part of me my poetry in motion the sacred space I create to allow the art to flow freely, but today I did and it was special to share a little of my process to guide someone through the emotional language of feminine portraiture. I wasn’t sure how I would feel this was way out my comfort zone but it ended up being a really open respectful exchange there is something quietly powerful about sharing softness even more when it’s received with curiosity. Grateful for this experience, Art grows when we do. Thank you so much @helouise1111 for being YOU! Grateful for you and To be apart of your journey has been a privilege to capture you ♥️

We bloom in our time 🪴

I giggled to myself this morning as I looked out onto the front garden and thought about the wild flower seeds I sprinkled yesterday to hopefully be the start of a little wildflower meadow.......

And then a thought came to me “ Sometimes we bloom when we stop trying to tidy everything up, huhhh…..giggle…..Ive let the “grass” in the front garden go a bit wild! its because I have neglected it over the years and its been my sons football pitch! The more I was thinking about this the more I thought there’s a metaphor in this somewhere.😅

The seeds have self seeded the grass fills with daisies, wild grasses and dandy lions there is something so natural about it, does it look pretty and neat, nope! but the bees and the bugs love it!! and I secretly like it this way.
“ What if there’s something sacred in the parts we leave alone?”
She didn’t wait to be tidy or ready.
She simply rested, softened and let the wild things grow.
Peace found her not in the striving, but in her stillness.
She bloomed with the wild.

Felt inspired, i did a little drawing and she appeared full of words and wisdom and wild flowers, then as the day unfolded, more words came and so did self portraits and I let myself be in that space, just me, sunshine, some wild flowers from my garden, my drawing and my camera, then a storm rolled in Perfect!

There are seasons in ours lives we can’t keep up with the mowing where tidy lines blur and maintenance feels like to much, but then something unexpected takes place, things grow, self seed, wild and free.
To some it looks like neglect but to the bees its heaven to the earth its healing, to your souls its permission.
Maybe the most sacred growth isn’t in the curated but in the wild the messy, natural, honest.
let your spirit bloom uneven and untrimmed.
There is so much beauty in the wild things.
I am allowed to grow slowly.
There is purpose in my wildness.

Lots of love Em ♥️

Early Saturday morning sketch and creative writing, blessed Easter 🌱

This morning is filled with silence and stillness.
Low clouds hang overhead. Misty rain softens everything.
There’s no breeze—just calm. Just quiet.

And yet… something is being built in the unseen.

I stand at my back door,
a warm cup of lemon and ginger tea in hand,
watching two robins gather pieces of my garden—
flying back and forth
as they build their nest in a neighbours outbuilding.

They don’t rush.
They don’t question.
They just do what they know to do.

And I watch.
And I wonder.

Maybe even in this stillness,
something in you is being built too.

For such a time as this.

This mornings after meditation drawing the sky outside was moody, rainy, grey, unsettled, I came to my desk with a feeling of I need to draw differently today and this woman came through, braided, quiet, strong, crowned in softness, weeping, watching.
It’s been so long since I’ve drawn in this way maybe I’ve missed that.
Maybe I’ve returned for such a time as this.

She is not loud.
She is not flashy.
But she is ready.

She has waited.
Hidden.
Held her breath.

But now,
She rises.
braided in courage.
crowned in stillness.

Maybe you are standing on the edge of something too, maybe you can feel it but don’t quite know what is it yet, something in you is rising, calling you.

I hope you can listen, draw it, dance it, write it, shout it, photograph it, plant it.

Your story, your voice, your place in this moment, it all matters.

Love Em xx

Lately I have felt distracted, restless and distant, distant form stillness. From myself the noise of life the world, nervous energy bubbling as I prepare for house renovations to begin the unknown the unsettling ( i’m not good with change ) Its got me all a bit overwhelmed and crowding in but this morning something in me whispered - “ Come away just for a moment.”

So I lit a candle.
Played some gentle music.
Made a cacao.
I leaned into stillness, not to fix anything, just to listen.

After some journaling I reached for my sketchbook I closed my eyes, took a few slow deep breathes picked up my pen and began to draw without a plan I let the pen move when I opened my eyes there she was this soft open figure holding a heart I gave her a little face and somehow she gave me great peace. My little doodles are more than art a prayer in motion. I then set up my camera and Took some self portraits.
This is how I return to myself, now I don’t feel so far away.

Held in the quiet.
I lit a candle not to chase the dark away but to say “here I am”
My mind full and loud I found a small corner that familiar feeling felt like an old friend.
Eyes closed, pen to paper, deep breath I let my pen show me what my heart was holding.
A figure emerged, soft, still, whole.
She held a heart, something in me was blooming she was not loud but she was listening.
She reminded me of peace, to come home to my inner space and quiet.

Sometimes the most sacred act we can do is surrender to listen to create that space to listen to allow beauty to rise on its own.
If you are feeling stretched thin, distracted, distant or restless you are not alone.
Maybe this is your invitation too, to rest, be still, to create space for the restless emotions to move.
Lots Of Love

First self-portraits of 2025
Honouring the quieter rhythms within myself.

Winter to me has always felt like a season of paradoxes, everything appears still and quiet, yet beneath us the earth is alive with quiet preparation.

There is this rush to set new year’s resolutions to take action but nature whispers “slow down. Rest. Be still” there is no rush in winter, when the tress stand bare, animals hibernate yet society asks us to start anew and just as winters energy slows down, we, too are invited to pause and honour the quieter rhythms within ourselves.

It’s okay to pause, to resist the rush to align with the quiet wisdom of the season, January doesn’t have to be about doing, it can be about simply being.

Maybe the deeper wisdom is to redefine what “new beginnings” mean? maybe instead of rushing into action we focus on planting seeds of intention.

These self-portraits were born from that whisper, I found space to reflect and create not with urgency which is something I have done in the past but with gentle curiosity the fern always reminds me of its resilience, the dark afternoon light added some dark shadows and light, a gentle reminder for me that I don’t need perfect light to create in.

It felt less like creating and more like being.

What does winter mean to you?
what does stillness teach us?
what parts of us are quietly growing beneath the surface?

“Winter teaches us to look inward and to trust the unseen process of becoming”-Unknown.

All my love and warm hugs

Day 12! A day to reflect on the past 12 days of creativity, it was cool to put this reel together of the art I created over these past 12 days.

On reflection, all the external stuff can overwhelm me this time year and I get swept away and forget to prioritise myself in doing this art challenge I’ve learned that and it’s helped me not forget my daily art practices and to make sure I give myself that time to just be and quite the noise it’s been brill!

If you joined or had ago I would love to hear how you found it ☺️

Day 11: Moment of stillness.

Today is keeping it simple, one line or art material not overthinking it just simple ☺️ Stillness doesn’t have to be complex it can simply be closing your eyes taking a few mindful breaths, watching the world go or drawing something simple to connect you to your creativity in a soft and gentle way.

When was the last time you truly felt still?
Maybe spend a moment reflecting on what helps you create moments of quiet in your day.

Love Em ♥️

Day 9 of Mindful art : Winter solstice 🕯️

Take time to pause today just as the changing season into winter shows us stillness can be a gift settle into the present finding calm amongst the seasons energy.

Sitting here surrounded by a gentle glow,
Christmas tree lights and candles’ soft warm glow.
On this dark winter solstice morning I breathe in deep and feel your warm presence.

As darkness reigns outside, I find my peaceful nest.
In this solstice stillness, I pause.
As light and dark dances, I’ll find my peace.
Amen.

Mindful Prompt: “As light and dark dances, I’ll find my peace. Write or draw what comes to mind when you think of peace, stillness or the quite beauty of winter ❄️ consider weaving your own poem into your art or journal 🌿

Lots of love

#12daysofmindfulart Day 8: Doodles away✍🏼

Doodling is such a fun thing to do I doodle when I’m on the phone or in a waiting room 😅 you don’t need to think about it just let the pen or pencil go where it wants to creating shapes, lines, patterns, doodles you can fill the spaces in or leave them blank or just fill a page of random little doodles there is no right or wrong.

I used to do these drawings a lot as a kid I enjoyed colouring in the shapes and they became little mini worlds.

Do you doodle? What kind of shapes, patterns do you enjoy drawing?

Have fun!

#12daysofmindfulart Day 7: candlelight drawing 🕯️
Drawing by candlelight is such an intimate and calming experience, it teaches you to really slow down it’s the one thing I kinda like about the winter months because I love candlelight and I love creating and writing with the flicker of a candle.

It was good to use my non dominant hand and one continuous line ✍🏼
Grab a candle your sketch book or paper and see what unfolds under candlelight.

#12daysofmindfulart Day 6: Playful Creativity 🍃
Let go and create to music! 🎵 Pick a song that inspires you, using your whole body move as freely as you can to create marks on the paper, let the rhythm guide you, pick art materials like charcoal, pastels, crayons, pencil, anything that feels loose and expressive. I call it dancing with my tools 😅

No rules just joyful mark making, this is such a wonderful way to let go of perfection and play, does it look like a child did it? Yes that’s what we want! Don’t forget art is play 🍃✨

#12daysofmindfulart Day 5! Patterns of calm 😌

✍🏼 Patterns don’t always need to be structured. Sometimes calm is found in loose marks, organic shapes and lines that flow freely across the page.
For me my little face emerged as I let go and trusted the process, with a hot cup of coffee, candle my calming playlist 😌

🪴 What brings you calm today? Maybe it’s a simple pattern a doodle, a soft moment or a quiet walk.

Lots of love Em xx

#12daysofmindfulart Day 4 Mindful art prompt:

Breathing colours 🎨

This art practice connects breathe and creativity it’s simple but very effective 🌬️

Get a piece of paper and your chosen art medium
Get comfortable take a few deep breathes following your breaths maybe placing one hand on your heart and one hand on your belly as you breathe in and out and either begin moving with your breath or move with your inhale and exhale ☺️ and allow your breath and hands to move, visualise calming colours and let your self be drawn to the colours you choose.

You can also observe how the colours you picked make you feel? Calming or energising.
How did the act of breathing and moving make you feel? More calm, grounded, less foggy, joy.

Slow down 🌿 and just be.
What colours are you breathing in today?🎨

Love Em ♥️

Saturday morning charcoal exspression 🍃
#ukartist #charcoaldrawing #artexspression #asemicwriting

This mornings after my meditation

non-dominant hand little face - Cocoon

Hanging delicately yet grounded by its connection to the vine. A moment of pause. Empty, darkness.

space where something quietly is unfolding.

This therapeutic art exercise of switching hands from dominant hand to non-dominant hand really is so healing and was what I needed today I’ve had some pain come back in my jaw I haven’t felt this pain since my last dental surgery back in 2020 it’s empowering to express🍃 being able to visually articulate pain and hope can bring a sense of control over our emotions and physical pain allowing it all to move through me and out onto the paper, switching hands very soothing🫠

Sometimes it looks like this, where I need lots of paper and make marks I needed to dance and move my body this morning i played percussion music which is great to really get out of my head and into my body you can really be led by the drumming and different beats and sounds 🍃 Art is play🌞 I feel we can get to caught up in the technique the final image having something “perfect” to share but forget the process the movement the play have fun let yourself go 🍃

🌞Art & Meditation: A journey of self-exspression🌞

On Saturday i had the joy of leading an intimate art session you may remember me sharing this with you. This was a space where creativity and mindfulness came together.🍃

watching someone explore their self-expression through movement and colour was SO inspiring. Art is such a powerful tool, connecting us with each other to share experiences, connect to our inner selves, letting go, and simply being in the present moment.

We used pastels, nature-inspired materials and intuition to bring visions to life.
It was amazing to witness how each line, mark, movement told a story, symbolised an inner feeling. The sun in Jaynes art work radiated warmth and optimism while the trees reminded us of our roots the beauty of letting go and growth and new beginnings. We then did a piece together only using our hands to create a tree, only using our fingers to create the leaves all while chatting away and dancing and moments of stillness and quite just simply beautiful and inspiring to the point of joyful tears, love and gratitude.

whether you are an artist or just curious about creative expression this class is a space for anyone to come as they are, let go, have fun and connect deeply with themselves through art, meditation and movement.
Only one person came this time but this was such a special beginning and I am so grateful for Jayne and the beautiful connection we made with each other, each connection made is a step towards building a community of people who want to explore art, meditation and self-discovery together.
If you are looking for a chance to express yourself, find calm, connect with others or just want to try something new, I would love for you to join us next time! or if 1-1 is more your vibe I would love that too.
Thank you Jayne x I LOVE your soulful expression 🍃

Thank you for following along on this journey with me I am so passionate about self expression through art and movement i’m excited to continue to explore, create and share.
Lots of love
Em xx

Unveiled I sit with me. No makeup, no editing, no masks just my truth my wrinkles my imperfections like a tapestry of scars. In my vulnerability i find my power I feel free because this is me ✨

Women you are strong, capable, beautiful and incredible! Your worth and value do not come from your physical appearance but from the beauty and strength that radiates from within you, you shine ✨

You were wonderfully made you are a goddess a warrior you are a work of art a masterpiece that’s still being written.

I see you, I hear you, I feel your pain but I also see your power and resilience.
Shine with all your might ✨

Something I read recently - Latin root word from which we get the English word “express” is the same root from which we get the word “press”, as in the process of extracting juice from harden fruit through a device called a press. We press the fruit to get the deliciousness from the inside I absolutely love this!
What’s inside needs to be expressed ✨

Close your eyes.
Exploring creativity through intuition sharing my flower drawing process...........
🌸
I have been on a journey for quite some time now with my art and creativity exploring ways to free me of the rigidity I was experiencing, to take me deeper into my art to weave mindfulness and movement, this deep inner tug to create what my eyes can’t see.
🌿
I have been sharing snippets on my social media about this and I would love to begin sharing on a more deeper level with you, in hope you can feel the amazingness of this too!
✨
It all began drawing with my non-dominant hand for me its my left hand which I started almost 2 years ago! it has taken me down quite the rabbit hole! more on this at a later date.
My recent exploration which involves closing your eyes and I shared this on my Instagram and Substack and it inspired some so I hope it may inspire you too ☺️

I began to lightly draw some flowers I visualised the rough image in my mind and began to move the pencil around the page allowing my hand to flow freely without the guidance of my sight a liberating feeling allowing me to be present and focus on the movement and what I was feeling rather than what I wanted the outcome to be.

I then opened my eyes and used the abstract forms as a foundation to build up the image adding in darker lines, shading, colour, while still moving freely and staying with the spontaneous childlike energy, so cool!
✨
This technique can help you get out of your head connect to your intuition embracing imperfections which leads to unexpected results, feeling that sense of awe and surprise which gets those creative juices flowing its fun!
🍃
Have you tried creating with your eyes closed? no? I would highly recommend giving it ago you never know what beautiful surprise will emerge! 🎨

I would love to share with you the story of my The Hut, a very expensive but rather good looking shed at the bottom of my garden😅

Let’s start at the beginning. The old shed which I used to call the shack, is where it all began in May 2018…..

It was here something very healing happened, before building this with my family I was severally agoraphobic for 14 years I didn’t leave my house I went through a pretty rough period where going into the garden was frightening, opening the door to collect a parcel etc, caused me great stress and panic attacks building the shack was massive at the time because it was longest time I had spent outside in 14 years it was a very healing, transforming time. The shack became way more, it was helping me leave the house just 1 tiny step at a time and it was through building it I discovered gardening something that caused panic attacks now brings me so much joy and peace. I feel we have grown together the garden and the shack, contracted and expanded just like the wood as it changes through the seasons ahhhhhh…….

Skip to August 2023 5 years after, I had outgrown the old shack it struggled to survive a really harsh winter and it needed many repairs and the bit I forgot to mention was I was teaching yoga in here too and doing photoshoots this happened some years later, so, the time felt right to build something that was more structurally safer and to give me some much more needed room.

TADAAA!

The Hut!

And what’s special is we used a lot of wood from the old one to help make the new one :)

It’s a truly beautiful space. I continue to grow with this space and my garden and i’m excited for all the people we get to welcome here and the many plans for my little Hut.

I have to pinch myself because I am truly thankful for this space where I hold my classes each week it turns into a photography studio and an art space a space to come and be yourself.
God am I Grateful Thank you.

Happy 1 year Hut :)

Lots of Love Em xx

It’s a truly beautiful space. I continue to grow with this space and my garden and i’m excited for all the people we get to welcome here and the many plans for my little Hut.

I have to pinch myself because I am truly thankful for this space where I hold my classes each week it turns into a photography studio and an art space a space to come and be yourself.
God am I Grateful Thank you.

Happy 1 year Hut :)

Lots of Love Em xx

Your heart, the seat of life.
Your heart, mind, soul and spirit.
Follow its rhythm, follow its lead
for it knows the way.

Your heart is a compass,
follow the compass, trust its art.
My heart, your heart, all hearts,
beacon’s of light, compasses of love,
all on our own unique path,
we are all connected through heart.

Lots of love Em ♥️

5 years ago, July 2019 i left my house and walked into my local Tesco express and picked up the biggest and brightest bunch of my favourite flowers: sunflowers. A simple act that marked a profound turning point in my life.

For 14 years I was severely agoraphobic at my lowest i couldn’t even open my front door the world outside felt to frightening the panic of stepping out there just felt like a huge challenge, each day defined by fear and confinement something within me yearned for change, to see beyond these walls.
Each day I took one small step starting with walking to the end of my path to walking up and down the road to finally around the block it took weeks to get to that point and then, there I was, i made it to the shops! The vibrant golden sunflowers became a symbol of my journey they reminded me of the brightness and hope beyond my front door, how they turn to find the light even when it’s dark.
This journey so far hasn’t been easy i was making progress then lockdowns happened and my exposure became difficult but I kept going and had to dig even deeper, and understanding what agoraphobia was, this is for another post for sure.

As I was setting up the backdrop and my camera looking at the sunflowers I felt this wave of love and gratitude for that present moment I was in and how far I had come. These self portraits with the sunflowers felt like a beautiful way to honour myself and my journey so far, recently connecting back to photography it felt magical I was meant to be here in this very moment the timing just AH! i know i will look back on these photos like i do with all my self portraits they freeze the moment, add a piece to my history, discovering more about me.

If you find yourself struggling as cliché as it sounds remember every journey starts with one step forward and just like sunflowers we all deserve to thrive and grow.
To anyone facing your own battles: believe in your strength! Your courage! Your beauty and resilience, patience and courage.
You are not defined by your fears your mental health and if you are facing agoraphobia no you are not alone celebrate every small victory!
Lots of love Em x #selfportraiture #agoraphobia #sunflowers🌻

It’s been sooo long, over a year and even longer before that, that I have captured the essence of another soul and in this time away my soul has ached a big part of me missing. But my mission these past few years has been to get my son through home ED and exams.

So many feels from today, this journey back to my first love is quite something 📷

The HUT oh my turning this already amazing space into a even more magical space it came alive✨

I doubted myself so much even thinking about re starting my photography business back after all this time has passed the photography world has changed loads so have I, have I still “ got it “ “what if “ “how”
Then I upload the photos and I’m like Girl it never left you! Thank you @helouise1111 @the_helen_pinkett for a soulful day and being the cheerleader you are!❤️‍🔥
Thank you @katieoman1111 for your support I love you ♥️

I will leave this for now.
Love Em ♥️

Life has been a bit blurry…..
for 3 weeks almost 4 labyrinthitis has shaped my view I feel as if I have been living in a different reality the dizziness the vertigo the sickness, unable to walk or move properly forcing me to stop, rest, cocoon, and find my balance quite literally.
something happens when you have had to lay bare and surrender to allow healing to take place there’s this what almost feels like a reward an upgrade from the universe, you see and feel a little clearer each day,
a beautiful gratitude for that moment that arrives that you pray for, a whisper that you are slowly emerging from a shadow place you feel lighter, your sprit renewed, I guess, with each challenge growth is found.
A stronger version of me.
Em ♥️

It has been over a month since I last shared.

some heart words today, as the the rain came, it helped me wash away the fogginess I’ve been stuck in.

Navigating the waves of grief of losing my Nan, currently guiding my son through his exams, and the final stretch of home education, life changes,
has left me feeling somewhere in-between, neither here nor there,

A heart in limbo or midlife despair?

feeling very inward, focusing on the here and now, being in service for my yoga community, evaluating everything.

But today, as the rain cleansed the world outside, it also cleansed my spirit thats how it felt anyway as cliché as that sounds.

That fuzzy sensation in my belly came back the itch to create glimmers of creativity, inspiration found me today.

Breathe deep.

Love Em xx

Todays non-dominant hand face with the help of Luna🥰
since drawing with my non-dominant hand (left for me) I’ve become less precious about my art in a good way, in the past I was so uptight, ridged afraid to make a mistake afraid it would look 💩 “doing” art sometimes felt like a waste of time, in a weird way I felt like I was following a recipe it wasn’t me that created my art.

I stopped drawing for a long time and then came the drawing with my left hand and my little faces began to appear while I was going through some turbulence, it was like this was meant happen for sure.

My faces are messy, raw, intuitive, childlike sometimes, they have become like daily messages for me, help me untangle my thoughts, these drawings the marks and shapes feel deep within me my true expression 🍃 and the most amazing thing that came from this is I’m no longer afraid to make a mistake.

Creativity is play, there are no mistakes in play, just play and as adults we forget this but that’s for another post😂
Have you tried drawing, writing with you non-dominant hand?
Much love ♥️

Monday morning musings……

The good vibes only, high vibe energy only welcome here, is bullPOOP!💩

Pain, sadness, grief its part of the human experience to

light without darkness no darkness without light.

This is basically sending out a message only bring your happy vibes to my door NOT your human struggles. ALL of YOU are worthy and loved, your complicated human emotions matter. I came across this poem recently by Jarod K Anderson.

Not Okay.

I am not okay today.
so, in the absence of okay, what else can I be?
I can be gentle.
I can be unashamed.
I can turn my pain into connection.
I can be a student of stillness.
I can be awake to nature.
I can sharpen my empathy. against the stone of my discomfort.
I am not okay, but I am many worthy things.

People are desperate for real, real connections to experience to share, laugh and cry at being human,
we are becoming more disconnected more than ever.

I look at society sometimes and think wow! it’s in trouble, life ebbs and flows you can’t control nothing outside of you and sometimes, you know what, we are only human and sometimes we can’t control our responses either and that’s ok it can feel oh so very overwhelming can’t it?

There is so much pressure to be healed? HAHA Perfect? the list generally goes on…….
The pressure to be happy all the time because being miserable is frowned upon quite literary! tbh the people who are happy all the time scare me a little, and sometimes as sad as it is people can shut you down quicker than the corner shop shutters because showing any raw, realness is baddddd,
why can’t we sit and listen to people anymore? Have we forgotten how to human? Lost the very essence on what it truly means to be a human being? Has society become a let’s sweep that under carpet mentality?
I love you ♥️

The universe hit pause.
The video stopped recording mid - process so I took it as a sign and tried to embrace the frustration 😅 and now I stop to think about it I did need to be on my own with my art for a while.

So today I had ago at doing a 2 hand face and I’m pretty happy how she turned out! And really feeling into this was quite something and I learned so much. It’s a fascinating journey exploring drawing and writing with my non- dominant hand, using both hands and switching between hands.

Just silence.
No need to speak, just be,
Let the quite wrap around you.
No need for words to understand.
Let me breathe in your stillness
So I can find my soul 🍃

This mornings coffee and journaling face using my non-dominant hand.

“I feel, I feel to deeply for this life sometimes, so much needs to express and set free”

I never know what the face will be, the marks, lines, scribbles or words will appear, but somehow I always need to see their messages.

Love Em 🌿
