Happy Inspirational Monday! I have a song, a photographer and a tip sheet of inspiration! Enjoy!…. This song  below my cellist and I are working on as a cover. I love the song how simple it is, yet it has a lot of thought put into it such as the progression of the beat, melody etc… I find sometimes that the most simple songs the most beautiful/moving. This photographer Michael David Adams absolutely inspires me. Doing underwater photography can be complicated, from lighting, camera housing, model, movement and being under water. To capture such beautiful images takes so much skill. This work inspires me to push my level of photography to a new level and try new things. We all get a little stuck sometimes. Here is a tip sheet if you ever need to get “unstuck”… Love and good melodies      ...

    My friend and I were looking for inspirational music to cover, she found this.  Very beautiful song.  It’s delicate and inspiring. Kimiko Yoshida is one of my favourite self-portrait photographers, she is able to convey high-quality abstract concepts into master pieces visually. She inspires me because she uses her self as the main centrepiece and focus to her artwork but yet she disappears into her work visually. This series she has a comma on her face, the space in between words; that give us a breath while we read. This has significance to me because when I look at music, the most talented artists I find give space to the song, they don’t need to take up every part of the song with singing and it creates a greater impact.   My question to you is, what inspires you? What art and music do you like? Please share with me.   Love and good melodies    ...

Rumi is one of my favourite poets of all times. So I’m working on having a regular meditation practice. Have you had those days when all of a sudden you hear people on the streets talking about it, you see a poster for it, you hear a radio show about it, you see it in a tv show and all of a sudden what ever you are thinking about is everywhere? It’s been like that for me about meditation for the past few days. I was taught to meditate since I was around 3 years old, and I took it for granted that it is an important aspect and ritual of my life that helps calm and ground myself. I’m the type of person that gets so excited about life; I can easily be on the go all day and night. As I’m learning the fine art of balance (a life long endeavour), I keep coming back to my meditation and the need to do it regularly. I’ve tried everything from Kundalini breath work, om meditation, guided visualization, Buddhist mediations, breathing and emptying your thoughts, and I still haven’t committed to one that works best for me regularly. I’d love to hear what kind of relaxation, meditation etc.. you do, please share! Lately I’ve been excited about: • stevia, coco powder, mint hot chocolate; • juicing experiments with ginger, apple, celery etc..; • Two words: Whole Foods; • Kombucha filled with chia; • My best friend having twins (I’m a twin and it’s my first time being around twins); • Making art; • Experimenting with colours and vibrancy (I...
