Hello friends and family!

Another great week and we are 1 more issue away from 100! If you have been here since the first one a massive thank you for 98 weeks of love ♥️

I appreciate you all

but wanted to dive into those who subscribed from the beginning to shower you virtually with extra love today. 

A beautiful, 

hello and welcome

to the new subscribers. Thank you for joining us on this weekly adventure for a

Dose of Inspiration

and tips to 

Create A Life You Love and Go Live It

. 

The theme of this week is 'older self' 

I did my morning pages and started writing to myself in a fascinating tone. It went something like ...

• Well done for crushing this year, you seriously gave 2022 all you got. 

• Congrats on all the travel especially the work trips :) 

• I am proud of you for returning to the gym and committing to working out weekly. Extra proud of you for that consistency. 

• You need to start going to bed earlier next year. Make it a point to wind down earlier and stop randomly scrolling on apps after midnight and when you wake up. Maybe try no apps from 10 pm to 10 am next year. 

• Reduce your spending and increase your saving and investing. This one is a must! No compromising on this. 

At the end of writing, I noticed that I wrote to myself like an older sister in a very honest, supportive, and nagging way. I pointed out the good, the bad and lectured myself on my bad habits. 

In the more spiritual world of personal development, this is a useful tool to create a supporting frame for yourself and to guide your current self to the next level of life. 

Task for the week: 

• Write a letter about your life in 2022 but from the perspective of your older self. 

• What can you congratulate yourself on? 

• What observations might your older self have for this version of you? 

• What would they want you to change? 

Remember each week, we are just moving one tiny step forward to creating a life you love. 

Designing a simple life (minimalist habits) 😌

Sadia is amazing! If you don't know her yet go check out her Youtube channel. Lots of good tips, recipes, and goodness in this woman. I have been a fan since she started her channel and it's been great to see her grow.

Artists Who Inspire 

 Artist: Shinobu Ohashi

I must credit this turn of art events to one of the most inspiring people I know. Mimi is a skater, filmmaker, artist, yoyo player (if that is what you call it), and a whole lot more. 

We had a conversation on creativity at work and she brought up a paper artist that she loves. This took me on a very interesting adventure into the world of paper artists and their craft. It's a whole new world for me and what an incredible place to be. 

I found Shinobu on my art adventure this week. He is an artist from Japan who takes black paper and hand-dyed Japanese paper to create this stained glass art ...or as I call it ...magic.

Song of the week 

This guy has been all over my social media over the last few weeks. Just a tiny piece of this song went viral and I absolutely love it. A song in 3 languages (maybe 4 if I missed something) ...let me know if I did. But this is the mixing of cultures and flow that I love, I hope he makes it big and creates more music, becomes famous and tours the world. In one month it got half a million views. 🙌🏾The coolest thing about this is that somewhere out there is a Palestinian kid who watches this and sees hope because he sees someone like him. ♥️ 

Before I forget - a big thank you to @0melapics for the Tribal design that inspired this branding.
