Inspired..52 lists...Week 1

Hello there,
I am not usually a list making type of girl...but I thought I'd try something a little different. I'm going to join in with Moorea Seal who is running a little project called 52 lists..there will be a different theme prompt every week. I just feel like I need a little something new to inspire me, I'm feeling a bit bogged down in my messy chaotic mind...so many things I'd like to do...where oh where to start!?? (at the beginning of course I hear you say!!) 

So the inspiration for today's list was simply 'list the words that touch your soul'. I wrote my list whilst snuggled in bed next to my poor sick little girl, who is now sleeping again. It is so eerily quiet in the house, I miss her constant chattering...even though it drives me crazy too!

So here goes...

 My words...most of which popped into my brain instantly were:

nurture
create
dream
freedom
dance
flowing
kindred
family
mother
earth
liberation
fly
love
innocence
beauty
discover
heal
courage
serene
fleeting
remember
patience
peace
grow
feel
release

Its quite an interesting exercise and quite telling about my state of mind and where I am in my life. I'm going to find myself a nice book or maybe decorate an old one to keep m lists in. I realise this is a bit of a different sort of post to the norm..but I hope you can find inspiration in it too.

it's back to raining again today but I took this lovely shot early yesterday morning..so peaceful. Those two little Jackdaws are always together, they all sit in pairs in the tree. I think these are the pair that nest in my chimney.
Take care
Love Dotty

and another thing....Jenny Blair (the artist formally known as Love & Peas ..ha!) has forwarded me the link to her fab tutorial on how to make your own note book...please take a peek, they are most lovely indeed! The tutorial is here. I will definately have a go..hopefully it will be finished before the end of the year to store all my inspiring lists!. x

      Kindred has got such a lovely ring to it and I always like to remember just how fleeting this little ol' life on earth is!

      It quite surprised me to be honest..such an interesting exercise. There is definately a sense of yearning for something new..something different..I'm just not quite there yet! I loved reading everyone elses too..very insightful. :)

      I'd never really thought about the power of words but this has really inspired me. Some new arty venture in the works me thinks! :)

    Such nice words...I'm not a morning person, so it would be a completely different word list!!!! Perhaps I should leave making a list until after my 1st cuppa!! Hope your little girl feels better soon :) x

      oh yes, I'm not usually a morning person either but it was an eerily quiet morning...almost peaceful except for the worrying about my little girl! :)
