What’s Your Mini Delight?

You’re likely not a stranger to busy times. What’s important is that you make the time for a mini delight even in those hectic periods: short uplifting breaks that raise your vibration and nourish soul.

What are your mini delights? What people, places, activities, or objects awaken in you the feelings you love to feel?  How can you bring more of these into your life?

If you can’t spend a whole day with your BFF, grandchild, or parent right now, make a call or write a letter. Connect and add a smile to your heart.

If you can’t take a trip to your favourite destination, take a 5-minute video or photo album break.

If you can’t go shopping for a new dress, wear your favourite one, even if it’s to clean the house.

Trust me. Making the time for a mini delight will do wonders for your productivity, your effectiveness, your mood, your life!

April has been the busiest month in years for me. When I wasn’t leading or speaking at one of many public events, I was preparing for these. It’s been amazing on so many levels!

But I haven’t had much time to paint or take as many nature photo walks as I like / need to.

Instead of dedicating full-days or even half-days to my photography and painting, I’ve been taking mini delight breaks.

Here are a few photos from short breaks in my backyard this month. I’m blessed to have a river to play with.

And here are a few from my walk to an appointment. Instead of borrowing my housemate’s car, I left an hour earlier and walked there, getting my exercise, fresh air, and photography bliss.

Can you believe that some of these mini delights came from a big ugly green plastic spout in a hillside gutter? And the others from a tiny creek I was drawn to by the trickling music of water. I had to precariously perch myself on unstable river stones and lean through the branches and barbed wire, but oh what fun!

And here are the mini delight paintings I’ve had fun creating lately. They’re only 5″ x 5″ and so conducive to short painting breaks.

Some have already found homes, but contact me if you’d like one for yourself or a Mother’s Day gift. 

A happy little celebration of Spring.

If you look closely, you’ll see the 3D sparkly paint: a mix of wild & classic elegance.

This conch shell is a symbolic reminder to pause, and to hear the echoes of your intuition, of your heart calling you onwards and upwards in your life. The shell is covered in glass beads, refracting the light, you Light.

This one’s a celebration of the natural evolution of the soul – an opening and emergence of who you truly are.

These were the first created and purchased to celebrate a blossoming long-distance relationship. One hangs in each of their homes.
