Uncover the Vibrance Within

Published 27 days ago • 2 min read

Hey my lovely , how are you ?

It’s been delightfully busy this summer , personally I am enjoying all the colour life’s is throwing at me. But that doesn’t mean theres not compromising going on or overwhelm at times.

Randomly i was driving one day, running errands and this thought came to me.

Is there a time in our lives where life becomes less colourful?
I know I could give you a quick response to that and of course we all have the classic scenarios in life that feel a lot less colourful. But I’m talking about if we were to live a pretty ordinary life with let’s say little to no hiccups along the way.

My curious mind wonders as my son starts a new phase in his life. End of GCSE’s means time is freed up over the summer, with places to go and people to see . Money becomes something that creates a whole new world. Jobs, responsibilities, pressure to keep up.
will his life feel less colourful the older he becomes,with more responsibilities ? Or could it become more colourful? I wonder….

I think about my own life and the times where theres been little to no colour.

Struggling with my own traumas.

Times ,where my life is so vibrant I can’t contain the love I have inside me, the abundance spilling over . Enjoying all the small things as if they were Jewels.

So what’s the key to inviting colour into our lives? Again I ponder.

What experience have brought my life to feel more colourful?

✨creativity & play ✨

Nature gives this to us in abundance and you don’t have to get your hands dirty if that’s not your thing.

Here are some suggestions how to bring play and creativity into your world.

🌱 collect and sorting fallen foraged Items ( I like to call these gifts) is playful and soothing.

🌱Buying flowers. Make an altar when flowers are dry or when fresh, whatever feels more playful to you.

🌱Look for 5 minutes at one object you collected whilst you were out. Study it, how many i wonders can you come up with ( eg, I wonder where this gift has travelled from? How long has it’s been alive? Ect)

🌱paint, draw or write nature it’s self.

🌱place a gift you’ve collected somewhere you can admire it each day, as a reminder how brilliant nature is, that includes you to! Remember you are nature.

🌱Dance out side, amongst the trees, in front of the sea.

🌱Lay and look at the sky, morning, noon or night it’s magical!

Doing these activities has certainly brought colour back into my life.

For me it started with just watching the sea and being blown about in the wind when I was too ill to work. Just sitting and admiring something greater than me gave me such comfort. Watching how alive the sea was. I wished so hard that I would feel alive again.

I painted my feelings. Im a sensitive one, I feel deeply. The canvas heals so much pain.

Nature was with me , within me. Once I’d noticed, I saw it everywhere.

“ The wild in us leans, always towards healing. Like roots seeking water, it twists and pushes through the hard- packed soil of our lives, searching for wholeness.”

The brilliant Bridget Anna McNeill quote from her brilliant book the wild within.

I really hope this love letter inspire you to notice the colours in your life.

And if your in that place of colourless perhaps this is a gentle nudge to Mother Nature herself. She will hold you not matter what.
