Isn't it strange how a weekend away can put a strange slant on the realities and the wants and needs of a person?It is why I now find myself starting to collaborate a blog at long last!
I am one who enjoys other peoples creations and find them to help inspire me to keep on creating myself.I believe a creative intervention of ones soul helps express inner emotion and also helps calm and relax enough to escape stresses of daily life.
There are things that I love that make me want to create. Things that I have watched grow and develop into great works of art. Things that help me try and create great works of art or there abouts!
For a long time now I have been creating bits and bobs and thinking to myself that maybe just maybe someone else might find a great inspiration through me as I have through so many others. I have enjoyed making things taking myself back to that almost wholemeal/organic way of living and creating . Or simply just making a special gift or keepsake for a near and dear one. For the meaning of gifts can so easily become a consumer/marketing orientated ploy to grab you by the collar and take you to the nearest shopping center to spend, spend spend. When by making and moulding a gift is far more appreciated and satisfying.
So after a lovely weekend in Daylesford with some pretty amazing women I am inspired and am also, after an amazing massage relaxed.I come away from the weekend feeling very thankful for the wonderful company and the chance to sample some lovely food and wine. I am mostly thankful for being able to experience the wonderful creations of the women who accompanied me on the break from our day to day lives. I have met some new people and hope that we will meet again. For those who I have met before I hope that we can do it again soon.
I finish this blog watching the sun go down and listen to the boys and the orchastrated banging and crashing of the toys on the floorboards as their Dad lay on the couch watching Australian Idol and I remember what the masseuse said to me "Remember to Relax!"
