The heartmade life...

Meraki: this is a Greek expression,

which means to give oneself totally to whatever

one is doing or being: in other words,

to do, live and be with absolute creativity,

joy and passion, with an open, whole heart.

This, in my humble opinion, is what living a 

heartmade life really means. And it is something

we can choose, every single day. Right in 

the present moment, whoever we are

and whatever out current circumstances.

Obviously some people think that happiness

is dependent on having ideal circumstances,

money, work, a great family and so on! However,

I have come to believe it's exactly in difficult 

times, when we have problems, trauma and

stress, that we need to shift our focus away from

the current issues, towards making our lives

more full of heart, joy, trust and creativity. 

Not always, easy, as I know too well,

but that's when we can truly step into a heartmade

way of being.

I am currently putting together the proposal,sample

copy and artwork for a little illustrated

book about living a heartmade life - it will be

a journal too, with space for people to write 

their own thoughts and ideas. 

I am really excited to be doing this, and

hope to find a publisher for it in due course.

If not, maybe I will publish it myself,

as I have done with other little books I have created.

Watch this space!

Blessings and light...
