Spring Fever

By Naked Soul Art | Published April 29, 2013

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

By Naked Soul Art | Published April 13, 2013

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

By Naked Soul Art | Published April 4, 2013

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

By Naked Soul Art | Published March 29, 2013

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 [...]

Soul Speaker

By Naked Soul Art | Published March 18, 2013

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

By Naked Soul Art | Published February 13, 2013

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 [...]

Lessons of Being a Naked Soul

By Naked Soul Art | Published January 16, 2013

It’s assignment time again and I can’t wait to breathe a sigh of relief when the barrage of deadlines is done. It is tough working enough hours in a low paid job to pay the bills and also making the grade. Too much investment goes in to financial juggling and it takes away from the [...]

Girl Power and the Start of 2013

By Naked Soul Art | Published December 31, 2012

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 [...]

Paving Another Road

By Naked Soul Art | Published December 16, 2012

I am nursing a bit of a post lunch party hangover if that’s what you call it and walking round the house in my leopard print onesie (if one must wear ridiculous house wear then at least it is glamorous!). I have been burning the candle a little too much at both ends but it [...]

Hatch, Match and Despatch.

By Naked Soul Art | Published November 29, 2012

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 [...]

Being a Phoenix

By Naked Soul Art | Published November 1, 2012

I’m not really a big one for mythology, but the phoenix idea has always fascinated me. As a Naked Soul, there is something alluring and encouraging about the idea of rising from ashes and starting again, even if the concept is one that is imagined. There was a children’s series in the seventies called The [...]

What is Love Anyway?

By Naked Soul Art | Published October 20, 2012

I am traumatised. Well, OK maybe it’s not that bad as I am smiling while I write, but stirred up for sure. This week’s social psychology lectures about romantic love and attraction, as well as being amusing, were mildly disturbing, but in a cathartic way. It’s made me think and the thinking is a revelation, [...]

The Evolution of a Story

By Naked Soul Art | Published September 28, 2012

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

By Naked Soul Art | Published September 1, 2012

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 [...]

Making Whoopee

By Naked Soul Art | Published June 25, 2012

Today I have happily consumed a Ripple and a pack of Revels and far too little revision has been done. I am getting itchy feet now, knowing the end of the course this year is nearing and longing to get stuck in to writing and painting. My novel is burning to get out. I keep [...]

Synchrodestiny – Naked Soul Art

By Naked Soul Art | Published June 12, 2012

It’s been a while since I have blogged and so here it is. Life is moving along nicely and doors are opening everywhere. Have you ever felt that everything comes at the right time? I often do but I also realise that I move my life along by taking the right action, feeling the fear [...]

Age Is a Number

By Naked Soul Art | Published May 3, 2012

I had a birthday yesterday. Unlike many of my friends, I love them. My mum always used to bake me a favourite homemade cake and that memory is one that sticks. My childhood was not an easy one so I choose to carry this as a happy memory. So I started the day with my [...]

My Path To Realisation

By Naked Soul Art | Published April 17, 2012

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 [...]
