Hitting Send

When I awakened this morning, I was greeted by the sound of birds chirping, the Sun’s warm rays stretching through the tree branches, light playing off the moisture still dripping from the prior night’s rain. I sat in silent morning meditation, bundled against the crisp morning air, the Sun warming my brow as it rose higher in the bright blue sky. There was a special Beauty about the Fall day, perhaps brought about by the fresh post-rain air, and I felt compelled to grab my camera and take myself upon an Artist’s Date! What a Wonderful way to fill the Creative well, and enJoy the Gorgeous day! And, it is phenomenally Beautiful around here.

Just look at these colours! Isn’t it Fantastic?!

See the vivid green of the moss juxtaposed with gold, orange and red leaves?

I fell in Love with these orange berries!

Dreamy golden Autumn Beauty

Rain-kissed roses in November are a special gift

Blissful Beauty Abounds

The vineyards in Autumn are breathtaking!

Lastly, my favourite bright red stands out across mountaintops

The Artist’s Date is a conscious choice to set aside time for an excursion during which your inner child gets to play. I know it can be challenging to take extra time for play, but it is so worthwhile. After my adventure I felt relaxed, yet energized. It was such fun! Exploring the community, seeing the Beauty with different eyes, and exploring new paths is a great way to expand self and gain new perspective. I highly recommend some creative time with yourself, just for you! We are Creative beings, and by setting aside the everyday we can allow expression at deeper levels. Jump, sing, laugh, dance, imagine and play! You deserve it, and will appreciate the rewards it brings. How could you cultivate your creativity, Dear Reader?

Love and Playful Blessings,
Antonia
