I’ve recently discovered the author and meditation teacher Sarah Blondin. It was love at first listen.
She’s encouraging me to listen to my heart. To be heart led. Honestly, my heart loves art (he-art), but not necessarily paint on a canvas.
My art is seeing the beauty in little moments.
My cat hugging my knee.
Time with a therapist who encourages the untangling and celebrates every soulful win.
The earthy taste of coffee whilst surrounded by books. Books to me are the essential oils of an authors life. Their most potent bits. I sit near books like I’d sit in an essential oil bath, stewing and seeping.
I adore books that are both wise and spacious, simple and difficult, deep yet kind. Books like Big Panda, Tiny Dragon and The Cat Who Taught Zen. They breathe into me.
Cooking and baking is like art that keeps you alive. I love making comfort food that is also incredibly healthy, tasty and a big fat hug inside. Even better if I’ve grown the ingredients myself 😉
My life is a stitching together of these moments, often shared with my cats or my wonderful partner, Ady. His kindness and humour often makes me wonder how I could live without him if life ever tore him away. He feels like home and some of the best bits of being human.
I am both humbled and blessed that this is my life and I am surrounded with things that touch my heart.
What touches your heart? What is your he-art?
