A while back I was exploring what I learned in Design school and how it can be applied to life. I have a new found desire to complete all this ideas I have been holding on to and let them finally be completed and let out in to the world - or discarded if that is their fate.

These are the 7 principals of Interior Alchemy and their relationship to the Architectre and Interior Design process.

There is a process called PROGRAMMING where you learn everything you can about your project. How many? How much space? What do you want to accomplish? What are the requirements?  what is the deadline? Budget? Preferences?

In life this is the foundations of SELF-DISCOVERY.

Clarity of Passion (creating fulfilment)

Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too; this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what it loves.

Blaise Pascal

Often around the new moon I restate my desire for CLARITY. My sense of clarity sometimes goes in cycles. When I am most unclear I know it is time to recalibrate.

I have been participating in Mindy Tsonas's Wish Alchemy and last month's theme is ALIGNMENT - which has come to be all about readjusting + finding my way back to my own path -

with my passions guiding the way.

Passion is revealed when Iedit, when i release and get very clear on what is important to me.  Clarity helps me to focus my energy rather than letting it wander all over the place. (I think some wandering is necessary, but focus helps me to stay centred no matter my circumstaces).

It is inner clarity that I seek.

Because even when I am feeling very clear intellectually I am not always fully at ease in the flow. Fulfillment eludes me if I only use my mind.

When I release self doubt I move into

clarity of heart

and my True self brings solutions into every challenge. Getting Clear reminds me of my core values, which makes decision making come with more ease, bringing with it peace of mind.

Clarity allows me to set all of my other intentions into motion. 

It is clear to me that my passions lie around creativity and the freedom to create. Giving myself the freedom to create. Creativity itself clears my mind + my search because sometimes you need to create what you most need to find.

Through the process of pursuing my passsion clarity finds ME.

Fulfilment is something I have to define for myself. I have to look at what really brings me joy and that always brings me back into ALIGNMENT.

I really enjoy collage I always find my way back to it. Last year I completed my first 100 day project where collage became my meditation.

I placed no restrictions or requirements on my creations + they evolved naturally from day to day. This 100 day journey lead to many new opportunities, including creating an album cover with a custom collage for Leaf Newman.

Album Cover made using hand cut collage

Leaf reached out after seeing my passion project and the above image is the results of this collaboration. I love that Leaf makes MUSIC THAT BREATHES.

The flowers I used come from another creative outlet I enjoy: macro photography of flowers and other flora + fauna.

Beautiful when you look back and see the things you love to do come together while being of service to another,

that is fulfilment.

be wonderful
