Without words

Spotted on my morning run, this unusual stone 🐢 What a lovely little reminder of one of my favourite animals! . . . . . #inspirationeverywhere #loveturtles #rdguk #caversham #itsthelittlethings #rockpainting #creativenature This week we finally got round to watching Trainspotting 2 ( recommend by the way, but be warned, it’s as gritty as the first). 🚂 Anyway, I suppose one of the most famous parts of them are the “Choose Life” monologues. check my stories for the latest, as astute one. I remembered that we had the poster on the back of the door at my first year of uni in Glasgow ( side note, the famous bar scene where the pint gets thrown over the balcony was filmed at the halls of residence local, although it wasn’t one you really went to). 🍻 I suppose under it all is this choice aspect and separating real choice with the illusion, that of others, expectations of society, locked in consumer economies and systems of stuff..... yes there’s a sustainability message in there 😉 Well it’s Friday, I’ve got a load to do, but today I just choose to not worry, not feel trapped in others expectations (and my own), and simply choose happiness 😄 Happy Friday all . . . . 📷 @supportendometriosisawareness #choosehappiness #trainspotting2 #beyourself #fridaythoughts I was going to post something else with this picture, however, after some recent sad news of the early passing of an absolute wonderful, inspiring and positive energy in climate innovation that I was lucky enough to work with, laugh with and share discussions on work and life last year....I really have no words but a few reminders. 🌷 Life is fragile in so many ways. This fragility is scary but also drives love, wonder,empathy. Appreciate the absolute beauty you can find in the everyday You can choose what lasting positive impact you can make in this world 💙 Goodbye to a life that touched and lifted so many to do and be great for our planet. Your legacy lives on. 🌍 Friday 💙 Go gently with yourselves change makers 🌏 . . . . . . Thanks for the reminder via @lisamessenger #fridayquotes #circulatdesigners #startupnature #ecopreneur #greenbusiness #changemakers #ethicalbusiness #ecodesigner #rdguk #weekendmood #sustainablebusiness #volunteering #doinggood #selfcareisntselfish When my mum asked what I’d like for Christmas I said good weather for lots of walks outside. ☀️ She continues to over deliver! 💛 Who else is enjoying these beautiful, frosty but sunny, early January days? ❄️ Taking the opportunity in between decorating and work to get outside. 😀 . . . . . #inspiredbynature #getoutdoorsmore #itsthelittlethings #sunshinewalks #experiences #scottishhills #tomscairn #clachnaben #naturefix #thebestthingsinlifearentthings #dogwalking #natureismytherapy #worklifebalance #ecodesigner Adding a touch of indoor sunshine to our new studio / home office life ( or is it sunflower ) ☀️🌻 Enjoy the painting bit. Very mindful. And using 2nd hand brushes and equipment that my parents donated from their garage BUT Cleaning your brushes outside in the cold and dark and the amount of water to get them clean...... 🚿 . P.s. there will be greenery added later 🌱 . #yellowwall #indoorsunshine #diypainting #inspirationwall #positivemood #soletrader #freelance #homeofficedecor #homeofficevibes Anyone else whenever they are in a place with plants just want to give them all a home? 🏡 Restraining myself until decoratings further along and also got a few cuttings & baby plantlets on the go. 🌿 Just homed a Peace Lily as apparently they’re also good for clearing the air from mold ( #lowtech solutions) so will make a nice addition to the shower room to, alongside the vinegar cleaning, keep it at bay while our fan is to be fixed. 🌱 What other plants do you recommend for the home, for air, for lushness, for keeping alive? 🌻 . . Love this illustration from @haveanicedayy_ . . . . . #greenliving #loveplants #plantlove #ecoliving #ecodesign #airquality #indoorairquality #houseplants #inspirationeverywhere #lowtechsolutions #greendesign Pretty much sums up everything about last year and most likely this 💪💛 . . . .
