HIIT It With Reebs

Pay attention to the subtle nudges in life.

I was happy to spend some time with on Saturday night. The older I get, the harder it seems to align two people’s schedules! But we finally did it.

She brought over a “paint by numbers” which is something I don’t think I’ve ever done but was immediately excited to play around with.

We ended up getting so deep in conversation that we ran out of time for the painting, but it planted a seed in my brain.

I used to paint frequently when I was younger. I especially enjoyed painting using watercolor and had taken some art classes in that medium in the past.

Although we didn’t end up painting during our time hanging out, it planted the seed that reminded me how much I used to enjoy painting. I immediately felt a desire to pick up a paintbrush.

And so – off I went; to a local paint store to pick up a few beginner water colour items the very next day.

I have been painting every evening since! I can’t tell you how relaxing it has been for me. Almost meditative. I forgot how much joy it can bring me to just allow my brush to flow on the paper, not expecting any outcome, simply enjoying my time.

It served as a reminder to me that it is important to lean into the little nudges and ideas that come to your mind seemingly out of the blue. Perhaps it’s leading you somewhere.

I don’t know if the painting is leading me anywhere other than peaceful, creative evenings but honestly? I couldn’t be happier with that.

Beautiful day out in the mountains yesterday partnered with another social media free Sunday! Felt SO DAMN GOOD.

It’s not that often I get out in the mountains with Philip so I was super grateful to get the whole day with him. AND I actually managed to get myself up the tiniest little ice climb.

PS guess which one of us wore Birkenstock’s 😂

Bit of a vulnerable share on this one, but it felt good to put it into words.
