Friday 19th October

It's a beautiful day here in Wanganui the sun is shinning bright and there are loads of people out enjoying the day.

This photo is a painting I did for Shaughan a year ago. I have a wall in the house which is just for us, I think every couple should have a wall to hang things on it to show their love. We also have a photo wall in the kitchen, by accident I went into get some photos printed and we ended up laminating them and they cost a margin of the price as getting big photos printed and they are waterproof, bonus!

Yesterday our friend Dave came over for the night and we had a great afternoon. I took him for a wee tiki tour around town up to the gallery and tried to find a farm for him to buy. It would be so cool if he lived around here! He is a treasure. He bought over a beautiful lamb roast and we had a lovely night catching up over a few drinks. He left pretty early this morning to play golf with his mates, oh what a wonderful life we have.

My little sister called in with lunch and then we headed up to the art school and picked up her gear. I got to met her tutor and lots of art students. Then we went to the gallery, 2 times in the last 24 hours. I got to take a photo of my painting in there and read all the books they had about photography and got excited about setting up the dark room. I must ring up Aaron and Matt to see if they are still keen to help me.

I have been trying to sort out all my paper mess that I had stacked up for years in my office and have been finding some cool things like photos of the family and ideas I had for paintings so my brain is in overload. I have a love of old building and have about 30 photos that I have taken and would like to do a series of paintings with loads of layers, yummy. I better get back to it.

My message for the day was: If you need more faith or belief, ask us to help you, and you will feel a shift very soon.

Good-Bye Summer Family Ritual

For the past week I have been feeling the shift of seasons from summer into autumn. This has motivated me to c lean out closets, freshening up our home, make this summer photo collage, and created a family ritual. I find ritual really powerful it allows you the time to honour what has come before, say goodbye, and create intentions for what will come next. I've been poking around the internet and have found interesting articles on family summer rituals. Here are some of the suggestions I have read… Summertime is full of outdoor pursuits, so adding the outdoors into your ritual fits perfectly. Preserve summer fruits for the chilly months ahead. Engage in cooking or baking with summer ingredients. Shared a meal of seasonal food. Press summer flowers or herbs in books. Create a memory book of the past summer with photographs, ticket stubs, memorabilia, quotes, family jokes, poem, or anything else that reminds the family of fun times. Create a summer nature journal, detailing a
