Peace, quiet, yoga, music, dancing.... and I discovered the ancient art of scrapbooking! My new friend Lauren introduced me to the idea and we planned to spend an entire afternoon this week making stuff. I've never been interested in scrapbooking up until this point, thinking it was for old ladies or bored mummies. But now I can honestly say IT'S RAD! It seriously is the Inner Revolution.
I took an inspiring trip to Kmart in Brunswick and picked up my first scrapbooking kit, which is an album, letter cut-outs and lots of stylish-looking pages with different designs on them, plus stickers, stars, colourful flowers and other cute bits n' pieces. Thursday was a sunny day at the hideaway, so we sat in the kitchen and went to work... using chocolate as fuel. (Did you know that chocolate apparently contains Shakti? That's my excuse to eat it ;-))
Lauren made about six small collage photo boards complete with themes like Play, Nature, Art, Love... I made a bigger Intention vision board expressing my three goals for this year. They are: courage, consciousness and creativity. So much fun. For a mid-afternoon snack, we served up some yummy fruit salad made by my friend, Rachel. Yum!
An interesting side effect we noticed is that creativity gives you energy, makes you feel happy, sparkly and like you are reclaiming your power back to literally create your life on paper. More on this next blog!
