It’s kind of become a habitual thing, that in January I do a lot of purging of clutter and also paint some part of the house and do some DIY. Before we left on holiday in December, I moved Corks back into her room and me back into my studio. The space served her well last year with her having to do most of her practical year for her Fine Arts Degree from her bedroom. Quite frankly, after the year she had, she was sick of the space and I couldn’t leave her there. So while she was on a cycling training camp, I swapped out.

I have a renewed love for my Studio space all over again and we spent some time in January painting the walls in a very calm and zen color and I got some new floor coverings to help soften where our feet land and brighten up the very dark floors. I will be using the space for my studio and also my yoga zone. My yoga space will now be a permanent space and not a space I have to create every time I need to practice. I am so happy about that. The combined space feels magical and I’m so grateful I have the luxury of this space just for me to work in and flow in, in both practices. I never take it for granted.

Getting this space ready and beautiful has helped me feel ready to start my year and I feel I can now say “Happy New Year”.
