Stuff I’m Liking

I’ve been sitting here TRYING to write a story, and I’m dead in my tracks – ‘don’t force it, don’t force it” – thanks voice in my head, I won’t.

However, I do feel the urge to share and connect with you. So, I’m sharing with you some things that are floating my boat at the moment, in the hope you might do the same.

Desire Mapping – yes Daniella Laporte is all the rage alongside other young, hip spiritual gurus  – so I’ve jumped on the bandwagon and picked up a copy of “The Desire Map” which I got for a bargain price from here. 

It’s really interesting to do as instead of focusing on goals i.e – I want to get a job as xyz, or I want to lose 490kgs, through a process of questions and deep digging, you come to what she calls your ‘core feelings’. The book is part work-book, part normal book (for the want of a better term.)

The jist of it is, you work out the feelings you want to feel first, then work out what you need to do to get there. I’m liking the cut of it’s jib actually.I’m thinking this could be a great thing to do with other peeps – so give me a holler if you are interested in doing a bit of group desire mapping, maybe I’ll start a little online secret gang.

Serene Bohemian is a beautiful website developed by an epic pinner (who just happens to be my BFF)  Rosa. You should definitely follow if you love dreamy boho style in clothing, kids-wear and the home. (Me! Me!)

Rosa has an incredible eye for style (over 100,000 Pinterest followers can’t be wrong!!), and has introduced me to so many beautiful etsy shops.  If you sign up to her website you receive emails of all the latest sales in the boho universe (a thing) You also will go into a state of oohing and ahhing at all the beauty she curates there. Go and have a look! Go on!

Yes, I’m one of the zillions in the David Bowie playing in high-rotation club.

I’m absolutely fascinated with the man. No, it is not just ‘cos he’s dead’, as Crossfit* sneakily suggests to me.

I’ve always liked his music, and he’s always had an air of intrigue about him – but, admittedly, it was his final film-clip and song “Lazarus” that just stopped me in my tracks. Blown away at how he made his own death into art. It’s got me thinking about life, love, mortality, art, creation – EVERYTHING. A mere man – provoking such big questions and inspiration through his music. What a hero. Makes you think that maybe we could be heroes too. Just for one day.

Ever since his death, and my fascination with his whole death-art thing,  I have devoured all I can about the man, his lyrics – he even entered my dreams. He asked me on a date. Too late, Starman. But maybe next life?

What are you into right now? Bowie obsessed too? Would you like to join a desire mapping club?

*Oh and for longtime sharnangians readers Crossfit is Cowboy’s updated name.
