The road ahead in the first days of 2021…
Hello 2021… the end of a difficult 2020 has given me time to reflect and I have missed a few things.
- Walking outside wrapped in nature & its elements.
- Cultivating willow & cut flowers.
- Weaving baskets to work with nature’s beauty, learn new skills & enjoy mindful moments.
2020 brought us both time together as a family and time apart. Town Council work has been busier than ever. My business shut down during Covid-19 but has pivoted into a new artistic direction with a focus on workshops & a local Guild to share the studio space.
So here on the blog I am going back to where I began back in 2018. One simple thing a week I can share about weaving baskets or farming willow & flowers. There is a certain peace that comes from a little time each week devoted to something you are passionate about- whether it is hard work or relaxation. It might the satisfaction after working in the hot sun or a cold evening that the seeds or cuttings you planted will grow into something wonderful. It might be the inner peace after hours lost in weaving patterns as you craft willow sticks into a new creation.
What is it that you love to do but have maybe lost track of in 2020 like me? What brings you a little moment of peace in your week? Challenges will continue into this new year, so now more than ever we need to pay attention to what builds our resilience. I am ready for a fresh start in 2021…want to join me?
