July Inspiration Journal 💖
Jul 02, 2023Happy July lovers!
As I write this it's Sunday morning and the house is peaceful, I'm enjoying it ahead of 2 weeks of the school holiday juggle! (where are my working Mamas?!) The boys will spend some time with my parents and then go away with Andrew for a few days camping off grid… I'm getting out of that one as I honestly can't stand the cold weather and I'll welcome the time to work and study! Then we'll hang out at the beach and get some surfing and fishing in.
Creating: June had many highlights for me, the biggest being the launch of my beautiful new website, take a look here, I love it and I love the work I'm doing with my clients.
Expanding: The past few months I've been engaged in the most incredible business training I've ever experienced! This week we finish up, I did two rounds, and I'm feeling like I've moved forward in both my businesses in leaps and bounds! The expansion I've experienced actually moves me to tears. I can't recommend the Bhakti Business Program with Katie Rose highly enough.
Experiencing: a divine Brand Shoot with the talented Lizz Pennings, she is like a unicorn, she really made me feel so at ease, we had a cacao ceremony before hand and she set up beautiful little pockets around my home, captured my true essence in my own space! Lizz is my preferred photographer for brand and product shoots. When you book a Full Branding Package with me you'll get a shoot with Lizz included! Check out her work here.
Inspiring: I've been learning about the goddess of flow and creativity, Saraswati, I'm feeling so connected to her as I design beautiful work for my clients and work on the creation of my signature program, The Shakti Roadmap which will launch later in the year. Below is snippet about this goddess:
The Creative Moment...
"In you and me, Saraswati flows through that moment when we choose a creative path or make an intention. She lives in the ever-new creative instant when inspiration arises within the field of your consciousness. When an idea takes form, you can find her as the inner impulse that comes from somewhere deeper than your mind, ready to dance on your tongue." - Sally Kempton
Making: Lately I've been pressing flowers from my garden. I love just looking at them but I will use them in my art journalling, gift wrapping and wherever else a little flower would suit. But it's not just pressing flowers that I love about it, I feel connected to my anscetors, the women of the Victorian era… there's something so special about being in that energy. Check out this post.
Loving: fresh roses and candles on my desk. My favourite candle is from The Grounded Rebel, a business owned and run by one of my besties and retreat business partner. Becky infuses her candles with Reiki Healing and this one is my current obsession. I love supporting my friends and community. Fun fact: Becky is also a make-up artist, a proud Darug Gamilaroi woman, a mother, a Reiki Master and sound healer. Go show her some love.
Want to meet in person? I'll be at this ‘The Story of Business’ event with my dear friend and mentor, Katie Rose. If you're in Sydney come along. It's going to be so nourishing for the soul and for your work in the world.
India dreaming? We have ONE spot left on our India Pilgrimage! We are embarking on a trip of a lifetime through India, form Delhi to Rishikesh, to the Taj Mahal and Jaipur! Take a look at the full itinerary here. And stay tuned as I have Bali on my radar for a business retreat with a difference!
That's it for now, I'm off to cook Sunday breaky for the fam! Enjoy your day and thank for reading my musings this far!
Love Edwina x
