Spring Fever

All of us have our own shit to handle. You cannot get to be an adult and never have had to face something that was a bit of a challenge. Some of us have faced more than others and I have learned that it is all about the response to what we face that enables [...]

The Naked Soul Feminist

Guys, it seems for some I need to set the record straight so, in case you had any doubt, you rock. I have my eyes open even more now than ever before to the injustice that being female can leave women open to, from a place of deciding to empower myself. But this does not [...]

Gratitude

I am recovering from an episode of upper back and neck pain it’s a great mind/body metaphor for getting rid of a pain in the neck (part of my healing and detoxing my life. I have been doing just that!) and also realising how great it is to be out of pain; we never realise what joy [...]

Photographing Beautiful Women – Naked Soul Art Interviews Photographer Mike Crawley

I am a lucky woman and have had the chance in the last few months to work with some really rather wonderful photographers. I will have to do less  art modelling now as exams are looming. I want to concentrate on creative work of my own and cannot afford to have too much time out from [...]

Interview with Colin Hampden-White – Photographing Naked Souls

I fell into art modelling by accident, perhaps as part of the progress and self discovery that has been happening in the last couple of years but it is an incredibly liberating thing to take my clothes off and stand and chat while I am snapped by really rather talented photographers, either dressed up and [...]

Soul Speaker

Wow what an incredible  few weeks! I am sitting in bed typing and feeling like a weight has been lifted after an all nighter last night. And no, not the partying kind, the how could I have left this assignment so late kind! But it is done and now I have exams and revision but I [...]

A Valentine To Myself

This last year has been so much about change and growth. It is all good change, if at times challenging and heart wrenching. The little me that used to be outwardly bolshie to protect herself and inwardly scared to be what she wanted to be, no longer feels the need to pretend and is being [...]

Girl Power and the Start of 2013

This is my last post of 2012 and it’s a taste of what will be in 2013. This year has been one of the most exciting and also challenging times of my life, yet here I am; de-cluttered, single, free and most of the time rather happy. This was the year I found my path [...]

Hatch, Match and Despatch.

A couple of weeks ago I woke up to a Facebook news stream revealing that a guy I knew and liked had died of cancer. Amazing how we find things out, but I would not otherwise have known. I didn’t see him often but I had a lot of time for him. He was just a regular [...]

The Evolution of a Story

I have just spent the last two days nursing the headache from hell thanks to my flu jab. It’s better now, but the thing I hate about any kind of feeling ill is having to slow down. Being a middle aged (did I say that?!) woman I suppose what I managed when I was eighteen [...]

An Encounter With A Leopard – Naked Soul Art

It’s been a while but I’m back and with a vengeance. A temporary diversion, an encounter with a leopard took me to places I no longer find appealing and so I am back and here to stay, lessons learned. I am asking a lot of questions right now and maybe that is what has been [...]

My Path To Realisation

I have just spent weeks researching and writing an essay on depression. I don’t know how good it is yet, just submitted, but I have learned so much in the process. I’ve been there, luckily never too darkly and somewhere in me is a little spark that jump starts me, whatever it is I have [...]

The Search for Naked Souls

A while ago, I decided that using a human body as a canvas was a fantastic idea. I did some training in Israel with a body painter and special effects expert, Dubi Preger and carried on my training here in the UK with Carolyn Roper. How amazing to paint a picture on skin and transform a [...]

Live Life Now!

Sometimes we are so busy worrying about the past or the future that we forget to enjoy what is happening right now. Thanks to Michelle Dewberry for this little reminder!   Monique x

Life’s Little Pleasures

Many of us take for granted that we live in a society with so much and yet, it’s possible to live on so much less. It’s also a revelation to discover how something small or simple can be a treat when you have to live on a shoestring. We live, as Madonna says, in a [...]

A Month of Firsts

February is ending and it has been a month of firsts for me, a breath of fresh air. Mornings are getting lighter and I can feel spring around the corner. So, let’s rewind a little. I’ve always wanted to do what I am doing now but it was never the time. Or maybe I never [...]
