A Summer of Self-Care

So it's been a while since I have written here. Firstly life and work was so busy leading up to the summer holidays and it left little time or room for anything. This is why I decided that I would take some time for me over the summer, travelling and meeting up with friends and family.

Self care is essential in the work that I do, and I had almost forgotten to look after me.

“Within you, there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.”— Hermann Hesse

Such wise words and having a summer of stillness, reconnection, walking, reading, painting - has been so beneficial, and enabled me to start my new term and body of work with enthusiasm whilst being totally grounded.
