Inspired

Inspiration took me by surprise this past week.

One little comment suggested my way. That's all it took. And my mind and heart started drawing dreams and building plans.

And I forgot what it felt like to be inspired {a mixture of excitement, dreaming and wonder with a dash of anxiety and a peppering of fear but that invincible feeling too.}

Inspiration hasn't visited me in such a big dose in oh-so long. 

And I'm really relieved it's here. Because without inspiration there may have {most likely} been waiting and lamenting going on {and wondering too}. 

Instead inspiration {friends with motivation and luck and optimism and chance} has brightened my recent days.

And as I make plans and changes to see inspiration through I can feel it in my heart and mind too.

Oh, and i discovered this week inspiration is contagious! Are you inspired too? 

Hopes, dreams, changes and goals

I had big hopes for May, perhaps too big. I thought it would herald loads of changes, and to some extent it has. But I'll admit I was hoping for something extra magical, for a bolder-than-before kind of change...

Instead, I made changes. I stopped waiting for change. And {with Grace & Eve by my side} started living the dreams I'd been having of three of us sharing, loving and witnessing the world together.

And this month began a little sky obsession {photo documented on instagram}. I can't help but look to the sky each morning, and in the middle of the day and night-time too. Sometimes the three of us sit outside and stare at the clouds {and search for the day-time moon}.

But mainly I'm looking to the sky in the morning. I look up and wonder what the day will bring, and {due to a little miss I-love-to-rise-before-the-sun} I find myself stealing glances out a dark window in the early mornings waiting for {and wondering about} the time when the night-sky will dance with the new day.

I'm making June about journalling and setting goals. I've got so many ideas running around in this mind of mine, and so many hopes {and wishes too}. But what I need is clarity.

With two little girls keeping me busy, it feels like I've had no time to stop. And in a way, I think I've been biding my time... But {with my journal and pen by my side} I'm ready to set some goals, and I'll be keeping happiness and gratitude close to my heart as I do.

Are you a goal-setter? And do you journal?
