Seeking real beauty - natural photography for a healthier, happier world.

With a continuing increase of children and adults spending more and more time on social media, a world of false imagery has exploded with people unable to identify what is real beauty and what is highly edited and false imagery.

It is common for people to over edit their photos, alter the background, spend a long time perfecting (in their eyes) an image before then posting this image online.

However, is this image then perceived by the audience as beautiful?

Reframing busyness. Look for abundance in the everyday.

I’ve found that a return to busyness has arrived. At first it was with the children’s after school clubs and now with the additional appointments we are all trying to book in along with meeting friends and families for outdoor fun and juggling our work commitments too. Busyness is a funny thing and I generally try to avoid it. However I have been thinking of how I can reframe the term “busyness”?

For our mental wellbeing, how can we re-frame the term “busy”?
