Beautiful spread Natalie! I’m wanting to add more time to my daily sketching routine. It’s a ‘must’ state of being. Thank you for your gentle encouragement and inspiration.

Ahh, that is so lovely to hear, that the practise of self care via pencil and paper is an imperative for you. I wish you all the wildness!!

Much of what you shared in your post resonated with me. Time! I've found as I have begun the Drawn to the Wild year-long course that I need to as you said, make the time, dedicate the time - and the morning for me is the best time. Reading your morning routine which has similarities to mine, I realized that is the perfect time for me to draw for 15 minutes, just as I write in the morning. Thank you!

Oh Karen, I am so glad to hear this! This work is an act of self care, and we deserve it. I am so excited for your journey, and for all the beauty you put into the world!

Natalie, what a great post! I sometimes feel like I shouldn’t start a drawing because I don’t have enough time right now, I’ll wait until later. Somehow later doesn’t come. Great advice. Take care.

Oh Marianne, the number of times I have had that same conversation with myself (and lack of actual drawing). This slow. gentle practise is such a gift, isn't it! Thankyou always for your kind words :)
