hold hope 🌱
hope in the form of teaching movement + creative expression IRL to these beautiful young artists. They put together a big beautiful show for the Hamilton Fringe you can watch here
Hello sweet humans, how close does hope feel right now? The slow crawl out of my house and into the arms of friends has felt so sweet the last few weeks. While I was feeling so sure I wasn't ready to leave my house I have surprised myself with feeling hopeful + excited. Hope has felt far the last year and may wane again, so I am leaning into opportunity and "yes" while I have hope near.Â
Feeling hopeful means we have options. And having options means I can practise gentleness with myself. To say "no" when something doesn't feel right, or to change my mind when I need to. What I want and what I need change directions with the wind and the shuffle of the tree leaves. So when I live in hope, I live in the experiment of life + feeling. I can say a whole hearted yes to the projects and places I want to be in and a really firm no when they don't feel right. I find so often that whenever I lean into the unknown and draw a boundary around my being I get more clear on who I am and what I want to create in this world and therefore people know who + what I am about and what I am here to do.Â
I live in hope by

I teaching my first IRL class in over a year
I going for lunch with my mum
I stopping by a friends house on a bike rideÂ

Morning pages.
I have been told to read the Artists Way forever and then I did a couple months ago and I can confirm it has changed my life. Wanna do a book study with me?
