I find inspiration comes from paying attention. 🌿
Slowing down.
Noticing details.
Feeling my feelings.
Musing.
Investigating.
Dreaming.
I know in my bones that this is why I’ve had a resurgence of creativity over the past year. Motherhood forced me to slow down. To tend to my baby, my body, and my mental health. Sometimes taking care of myself and Davy was all I could manage. So I slowed, but I didn’t stop noticing. I kept lists of images and ideas and metaphors. Then when I was ready to return to creating I had a whole book bubble out.
I’m already noticing a new shift as Davy is becoming more independent. I have a tendency toward filling space with busyness, but I want to defend this slowness with the ferocity of a lioness.
