A change is in the air ...

And it all started with a haircut. I was sitting on the bus this morning when I had an epiphany. I've had three major changes in my life recently and it all started when I decided to take the plunge and do the chop.

I cut half my hair off after growing it for about two years. I don't know why. It was just time.
The day I cut my hair I auditioned for a London DJ. And he loved my ideas. So far I've done two tracks for him and am hoping it won't end there.

And finally, a couple of weeks later, I got a new job. A great one. Even though I'm hella sad to be leaving my cosy corner on the Pier, I know that it's time. Just like it was time to get an asymmetrical cut.

Change frightens me, I'm a play-it-safe kinda girl through and through so while all of this sounds exciting, I'm biting my nails to bits even though I think I'm doing the right thing. Isn't it funny how one morning you're ordering your skinny cap, loving the fact that you're coffee guy starts prepping your order when he sees you walking down the hill, then all of a sudden you don't know who's going to be making your morning coffee and if they'll ever get it just the way you like it.

What's changed for you in the last month?

Creating in the workplace

I read an article a little while back now about being creative in the office and how we should all do something a little creative at work each day to keep us inspired and content to be at our desks.

Well, Little Miss Ponder is living proof that creating at work is proactive. Each morning she starts her day by doing a little self-portrait. They really are sweet. Once she's done she emails them around to friends (like moi) and they never cease to put a smile on my face (and give me a sneak peak at her outfit choice for the day). Here's a little preview of the type of thing I open in my emails each morning:




Super sweet. I opened up the other morning to a lovely little pic staring back at me, and I thought boy she looks familiar (and fabulous) ... can you guess who it is?



I wonder how my buddies at work would react if I channeled a little creativity each morning and busted out a jazz standard before tea time ... something tells me they would be calling me things other than 'creative'

Summertime ... and the living is, easy.
