What I do when I'm in a funk

Anyone else been in a funk this week?!

There are a few things I do when this happens - and no, they don’t always involve wine. But wine is also nice.

I read books that inspire me. Currently reading @elizabeth_gilbert_writer Big Magic and am reminded that sometimes your passion is worth the “shit sandwich.” Every creative endeavour has it - the bits you don’t love but are necessary to keep things rolling. For me, it’s 100% worth it.

I take time outside. The fall winds are kicking up and it makes for great hair-blowing selfies. Model styles. 🤪

I try to have screen-free time with my kids. Reading books together (currently the world Atlas and Harry Potter book six), and chatting about which area of the playground they were designated to that day (it’s the big school news these days).

I pull a tarot or spirit card. These simple messages always resonate for me. A little guidance goes a long way.

I look back on inspirational designs I saved. These remind me that this work is about the magic of beauty.

This space is one of those... the detail on these cabinet doors lights a little fire in my belly. It makes me want to create more.
