The Go Gently Letter

Most months Occasionally, I send out a short email newsletter called The Go Gently Letter.

In the letter I share a little about my ongoing journey exploring ways to live and create gently. I hope the letter will encourage and inspire you to find ways ways to live and create at the pace that's right for you.

Instagram: Learning to live gently

Really pleased to have made it along to @drawingisfree_org this morning.

I thought I’d try using some charcoal and pastels this week and feel as though I was rather heavy-handed with them—but I did had fun!

Thank you to Chloe and everyo

Going very slowly today, so only drew a few poses from this morning’s @drawingisfree_org session.

Thank you to Chloe (who I got there early enough to draw this week!) and everyone who posed.

Wishing you the best possible start to the week. Go
