Paper Bliss : Cut Stories

I have this thing with Paper. Cutting it. Writing on it. Gluing bits together. Wrapping gifts in paper, Reading words on it.

See my paper creations here.

There is something tangilble. Something about the tecture against the hand that taps into the intuitive nature. something anout the ease + the delicacy. The temporary yet permanent nature. The strength + the ephemeral notes.

Obviously I love PAPER + STORIES so when I came across Béatrice Coron she was an instant inspiration as she leads us through her creative process. I love that her path to being an artist was not linear, and she found this art form when she was 40.

I also enjoy Coron's play on words and her creative manifestations. I am drawn to the content of her art and the web her stories weaves.

REthink: What Are You Doing This All For?

Rethink how things could be.

Why do you do the things you do? What are you doing it all for?

What is your why?

In exploring my why I always come back to a few main things:

Connection + Relationships

Experience + Exploration +Growth

Enthusiasm + Happiness

The method of ask yourself "But Why" at least 3x and see where your answers leads you is a powerful tool.

For me all of these stem from and lead back to LOVE.

I do it all for my family.

But why? 

So we can spend everyday together.

But why? 

Because it feels good to belong and be of purpose.

But why? 

Because we give + recieve Love.

I watched a talk a while back that really challenged me to see things a bit differently. I've always thought of myself being open-minded, but sometimes you encounter a concept that makes the opening even bigger.

Ricardo Semler talks about challenging the things we take as a given. He talks specifically about his company and innovative schools, but the concepts can be applied to helping us to THRIVE in all areas of life.

He also touches on the freedom that comes from letting go of the image we hold of ourselves so we can keep living in new more unexpected ways - he calls it his unbucket list. He also uses the 3 why's method.

I was so inspired I searched for his book Maverick! and lo and behold it was at the Cairns Library. Again, it is a book about business, bit filled with so many life lessons. If you get your hand on a copy give it a read.

May we all THRIVE in this life!

Be Wonderful
