TIP OF THE MONTH

Waouw. . . this month of November has seriously Zoomed by! 

I have been cranking on my large scale art submission project and am now catching up on everything else. You know how it is to be totally focussed on something!

As part of creating this sketch for this art submission, I had lots of decisions to make. This was my inspiration for this newletter. . .as I needed a reminder to it myself! Use your gut to make decisions!

Feel into the energy of all options. . . warm. . .cold temperature. . .colors. . .texture and any sensory feelings that can be collected when we think about that particular option is key. It’s so easy to let our rational part of our mind make a clear case as to why, however if we can let our gut have the first dibs, we can cut to the essence on what is important to us.

Please do let these ideas extend permission to experiment with making choices.
