inspiration + action = making a difference


I'm back to my bouncy self today, nothing like a bit of Self Love to feel fulfilled again. And to add to the Love fest mix, I got to see this last night on ABC 2! 1000 Journals. Last week I put in a request at my local library and was told it was unlikely that they would get it as they don't usually purchase DVDs from the States. Sigh....

Thanks to the broad thinking ABC and my intuition to check the tv guide I had the immense delight of watching this! Masterchef, I do still love you and looking forward to tonight's episode!


For those of you who haven't seen it, it is quite a feast of inspiration... one man having an idea to send out 1000 journals into the world, to see if they would be returned, filled with visual and written journaling. Some have been returned finished, others still missing in action...


Many things I loved about this doco. There were Aussies featured in it. Always a bonus. But also the responsibility some of the passer-oners felt, mixed in with the wanting to hang on to the journals, made this a real human experience.


It all began with 'someguy' having an inspired, somewhat crazy idea that he acted on, that in itself is an inspiration.

Hello beautiful one.... I've just been catching up on your posts that I've missed recently. Wonderful, insightful, honest ... loved reading it all (and of course catching up on all of your lovely photos of life and art).
I loved the quote from Kelly Rae, I will write that one up in my journal (thank you).
Interesting to read your thoughts about your art, about your gorgeous cards and your insecurities. Nic, everything you do has your very own personal touch ... you are an original and we love that about you and your art.

Take care and I'm glad you're being kind to yourself.

Pink fairy floss hug...

p.s. my internet connection is very unreliable at the moment, I have had no connection most of this week...been a bad year for me computer wise (I had been thinking that maybe I spend too much time on the internet...maybe the universe is helping me out???)

Thanks Jacky, feels like the air is somewhat cleared, with my fears blowing in the breeze on the clothes line.

Thanks for the beautiful hug darling friend...
