Hello!

Wow, I have been finding some amazing websites... I just keep finding things that are closer and closer to what I'm interested in, what I want to be doing...

Before I decided what I wanted to study, I did consider life coaching, but it felt too corporate and rigid. But then I thought, what if I could be a creative life coach, or a spiritual life coach? I didn't really think there was such a thing though so I told myself I was being silly and decided counselling would be useful.
But then I kept finding things that were more specifically what I wanted, like holistic counselling, and then the transformational life coaching that I'm now doing. It has been suggested that when we actually finish and start working, we specialise in a certain area of coaching, for example, business or relationship coaching. I wasn't really sure what specifically I would want to work with, but then with some of our exercises I realised how important art and creativity is to me and how I always picture it as a big part of my future, and so I thought... what about a creativity coach? And again I told myself I was being silly because I'd never heard of it, and I'm no art expert anyway. And then a few days later I saw a sign for a creativity coach in Glebe, so it does already exist!

It has just been so exciting for me, to have an idea of what I want, and even though I tell myself it can't happen, then to find little things around in the world that confirm it is possible... so it seems I already know what I'm capable of and what it is I want, but it's just challenging to find out how to do it and see how it fits into the world.

So, these amazing websites! I first found this coach, Jennifer Lee, by searching for values cards on google (we've been working on values in class for a bit), and she had made some personal value cards. Oh! And she works with mini vision boards! Vision boards have totally caught my attention over the last few weeks so I was so pleased to see that she used this technique. But anyway she is a coach that works a lot with her own creative expression, which is of course what I want to be doing, so it is so exciting to read about someone who's already doing it.

Check out some of these websites, they are so inspiring! And there are so many other great links in there too, it's like a magical maze.

Jennifer's blog

Wishstudio - 'an online gathering place and resource for you and your creative and soulful life' - Jennifer writes the Musepreneur column.

Creative Every Day - I haven't had a chance to properly look at this but it sure sounds exciting! 2 different challenges, Creative Every Day and Art Every Day month.

I've also been watching a heap of Etsy videos, about the artists and their techniques, it's all so fascinating and inspiring! Or you can find them on their youtube page.

My next step is to create a list on the side here that lists all the websites I love so I can find them all in one place!

Oh yeah the affirmation card up the top is for a friend, I haven't given it to her yet but I'm pretty sure she doesn't read this blog (yet). I really love it and want to make one for myself and another friend, so they are some little upcoming projects for me.

Stay inspired!
