LOVE the video and the photos..so inspiring! Our big travel for the summer is to Albania. The beach in where we'll be looks gorgeous! I didn't really get to travel for the first 40 years of my life, I'm so thankful I get to now.

So happy to hear you found it inspiring, Aimee. Though I have to admit it took me ages to choose which photos to add, but it’s nice to share them with others rather than just keep them to myself.

Albania sounds amazing, and I can only imagine the beaches there are stunning with crystal clear water. Good to know you’ll be traveling soon - that is very exciting!

Choosing the photos--Goodness, it can take forever to make these newsletters right? I played around with my last one for days. Or sometimes I procrastinated by taking long baths. 🤣 But you make it look easy from over here! Love everything you've been putting together.

I’m glad I’m not the only one. I also take long showers when I need a breakthrough, a new idea ☺️I think it would be shocking to learn how long I spend on creating some of my posts.

Thank you for the kind words 🌼💛

I agree re keeping your photos on your phone in the interim. Although I am going through a situation where photos were taken on a camera, saved to a CD then when I went to open them up on my desktop computer I found that even though I had an external plug I needed to plug in directly to the computer. Apple don’t make the external CD drive anymore so I have had to buy a new one. Unfortunately Google photos only had a few on file. Anyway I’m getting there. This is what happens when they update all of the connections grrr. Have a happy week doodling. I. Painting a dog at the moment, it is a bit of a struggle but I will get there.

Hi Sally! It’s such headache keeping up with your photos and all the files. I’m not sure if I’ll ever find a perfect solution for storing my photos because of all the changes of software but also going digital.

Thanks for sharing and have a lovely week 🌸🌼

I always aspire to do the challenges, even if I fail to do them right.

I love your willingness, Lynn 💛

Only we get to decide if it’s a failure or a win. For me, doing a challenge is just another way to make space for exploration and stop procrastinating. You’ll find your flow x
