It is an ordinary quiet week here at la casa de inspiracion. In fact it has been quieter and more ordinary than usual. With only a few outside commitments, I have even been sitting on my ordinary – well, backside. Shhhhhhh! Don’t tell anyone.
Oh I did dive in and order new print stock, clean the studio and get a few other household chores out of the way… but only worked at these pesky necessaries for a short while each day. Mostly it was a week of relaxing and the easiest route to an end goal. Do you ever take a few days to do this?
Sitting on my ordinary is about being with the everyday in an unhurried fashion.
It is about quietly observing and nurturing and replenishing my inner strength and resilience.

It is about honouring and reflecting on – exactly where am I anyway and what is it I really want to be doing?

Most often it means time in nature feeding my soul.

These four images are a result of “sitting on my ordinary” this week. So as you can see, it doesn’t mean doing nothing but rather doing what you love in a way that gives back.
Best of the weekend everyone!
