Just In Case
I have a Just-In-Case box. Everytime I move house, I unpack it until eventually I need to repack it to move again. Sometimes, I’ve been known to take items from the box with me on travels to foreign lands, beach walks and up windy hills before dawn. It’s the box of things I keep Just-In-Case I need to remember, to reconnect or to rekindle something in me or between myself and old friends. Adding something to the box is never easy – it’s almost always bittersweet. To keep a memory sometimes means to have lost a present reality.

The Art Of Moving Furniture.
Whenever I begin to feel cluttered in my head, I can see the telltale signs in my environment. It starts in my car – a piece of paper left in one place for too long. A plastic water bottle that never gets put in the recycling bin. Then it travels to my office, where a pile of things I need to deal with accumulates in the corner, on the desk, on quickly jotted Post-Its stuck to the iMac and files on my desktop unsorted. Sometimes figuring out the rabbit warren and getting back to calm is like unraveling a piece of thread.. long, laborious and seemingly unending.. until you undo the one little knot that was holding you up and away you fly.
But when I find myself stuck on a knot that I just can’t figure out.. I have one solution, with three simple steps that always helps me to ‘unstick‘ it.

And not because this is a subject for debate, in fact that couldn’t be further from the truth.. there is no wrong or right in this context. In the context of disaster, that is.

I’ve just updated the company website – http://www.solafida.co.nz with a new lease of life. If you know of fun projects or work of mine that you like – by all means, send me an email and remind me to upload it to the portfolio section!
Also – if you have a referral, recommendation or endorsement you’d like to offer.. I would be so happy to accept it!
On a personal level, relaunching the new company website is something I feel really good about and I’m counting down the days til the new blog is launched as well. That’s going to be magic! I have a million things to write and talk about but I have been guilty of holding off waiting for the new site to be ready.
Lame-oh, same-oh. However.. thanks for holding in on the journey!
