I’m back from a weekend at my sister’s and missing Noah already. I have a cold. I have lots to do for next week’s new course but this morning I just wanted to lie on my bed quietly moaning. But instead of doing that, I downloaded a new photo app to my iPhone and played for an hour. Playing is such an important part of the creative process, and playing with images is in my Top Ten Best Things to Do Ever (the other nine are cuddles with Noah, journalling, reading, eating anything delicious, flying anywhere, karoake, standing by the ocean, coffees with my soulsisters, and *cough* hot sex *cough*)
What’s in your top ten?
These are very cool and inspiring. I’ve just downloaded the app myself. Thanks for sharing!
Loved the app Susannah – thanks for sharing.
Some of my best things ever…
Wearing wellies
Crunching through autumn leaves
Cuddles
Roast dinner
New discoveries
Digging in the garden
Any ocean fierce or still
A glass of pink bubbles
Deep and meaningful girl talk
Letting ice cold river water warm my heart
Dreams that show me the way
The sacred pause
Painted stones
Xx
