Cultivate and live a creative and wholesome life through the seasons

 

Welcome to my blog . I started writing my personal blog in 2011 when it was called The Pink Button Tree, showing my evolution of being creative and connecting to nature in a more mindful way. In 2019 this space transformed into the place you see it today, as part of my website for my bespoke seasonal coaching practice.

I love sharing photos and connecting with fellow Instagrammers and creativity seekers. It’s my way to be creatively confident, inspired by the community, and have a creative moment in every day.

Blue skies and blossom to brighten the week. Hope you’re managing to get outside and soak up some vitamin D today. #naturephotography #blossom #theseasonalcoachforcreativityseekers #theseasonalcoach #theseasonalshift #springishere #bloom
We’ve been on holiday in beautiful west Wales staying in a small village near to Cardigan for the past week and are heading home today. It was our first family holiday, a simple staycation in a lovely cottage. We took it slow. We headed to the coast and went to a beach everyday, visited National Trust sites, walked in woodlands, went to @melintregwynt to see the beautiful blankets being made (and bought one for our home), had picnics in the car with the rain pouring, and relaxed in the evenings with home cooked meals. Chloe had her first trip to the coast. I love these photos of our time on the beach. She was awake (2nd photo) and then fell asleep. We enjoyed a rare sunny hour on the beach and then headed home just missing a hailstorm. We will miss you beautiful Wales and will be back again soon. #staycation #slowholidays #slowtravel #spring #wales #walescoast #westwales #littlestoriesofmylife #memorykeeping #capturethemoments #capturethemoment #beachwalks #slowadventure #firstfamilyholiday #springholiday
Today is International Day of Forests🌲🌳. We spent most of our day being surrounded by nature and in woodland to soak up the benefits of being outside and connecting with natural spaces. I’ve become increasingly fascinated in how nature can heal us. Over 10 years ago I started gardening and noticing more of the cyclical details of nature, it was the therapy I used following a challenging time. Since then I’ve been looking for the answers about why nature makes me feel so much happier. Last spring I started to collect more books about nature, read more about the scientific benefits of being around trees, forest bathing, forest therapy and Shinrin-Yoku. I have read / reread five books on the subject since the start of the year and will be sharing them on my blog in the next few months. The healing power of being around trees is experienced all over the world and has such a deep history across many cultures. Today is a day to bring more awareness to the importance of our forests. I have a long standing love of trees and enjoy coaching in nature and in forest spaces. I appreciate the importance of trees and give a percentage of my coaching fee from each client to plant and preserve trees. Having this as part of my coaching practice felt so very important to ensure we are looking after the health of the planet and doing business for good🌲🌳 #forest #forestbathing #internationaldayofforests #shinrinyoku #foresttherapy #naturephotography #natureheals #trees #treeplanting #theseasonalcoachforcreativityseekers #seasonalcoaching
Hello Spring. The shift into spring is a time when I start to make gentle movement towards what I want to make happen this year. I take my time to grow and savour the small changes. There’s no rush. I mindfully capture the small details of the spring season each year. Photos of blossom and flowers fill my memory card and photo stream. This spring equinox we’ll be walking in the Welsh countryside, enjoying the changeable weather and noticing the signs of spring. Taking time to soak it in through our senses. I’ll also be checking in on my word of the year ‘Bloom’, reflecting on my winter manifesto, and creating my spring manifesto today over a cup of tea. I recommend taking a wander outside today in nature to connect with the seasonal shift and see what you notice. Have a wonderful spring equinox #springequinox2019 #embracingtheseasons #theseasonalshift #springtime #naturephotography #flowerphotography #littlestoriesofmylife #seasonalcoaching #seasonalcoachingforcreativityseekers #blossom #blossoms #macrophotography #closeupphotography #inspiredbypetals
The rain and grey skies have been replaced by an expanse of blue, spring-like sunshine and high winds. I think by now all these catkins have come off the tree they were elegantly dangling from, ready for the next stage of its growth. Moments in nature reset, shift, change and grow weekly, daily, and hourly. We can shift and change what we want to do as quickly as nature does. What one small thing can you do today to start moving towards the outcomes you are really wanting for this year? Make time to take a moment and step outside to feel the season we are in right now and see how things feel different from yesterday. Have a brilliant day. I’d love to know what you are up to. #littlemomentsofmylife #naturephotography #catkins #embracingtheseasons #aseasonalshift #springtime #seasonalcoaching #seasonalcoachingforcreativityseekers
The crocus have disappeared over the past week or so and the seasonal shift continues. I looked back at my crocus photos and this is one of my favourites. I’m making small steps and progress with plans behind the scenes at the moment. Starting a business on maternity leave has been a gentle process and one that I’m savouring. My focus has been on our little one and when I can I use moments to jot down ideas for workshops and my book. Have a wonderful day and enjoy noticing nature’s seasonal shifts #embracingtheseasons #onthecuspofspring #crocus #naturephotography #flowersandotherstories #embracingtheseasonalshift #flowerphotography #seasonalcoaching #seasonalcoachforcreativityseekers #littlemomentsinnature #littlemomentsofmylife #bloom #lifeinbloom
A spot in our local park where the afternoon light lands beautifully across a bed of crocus that appear out of nowhere each year. Walks around this park enable me to connect to nature whilst loving in the city #embracingtheseasons #savourtheseasonalshift #onthecuspofspring #bristoligers #blueskies #natureinthecity
It’s been an amazing few days of sunshine and time outside soaking up the vitamin D. Signs of spring are here and flowers are starting to appear. It’s raining today and I’m enjoying time at home planning a few things. I’ve written a new post on my blog about Bloom, my word for 2019. #inspiredbynature #nature #britishnature #crocus #onthecuspofspring #embracingtheseasons #embracingtheseasonalshift #seasonalcoaching #seasonalcoachingforcreativityseekers #flowerphotography #olw2019 #bloom #wordoftheyear2019 #fortheloveofflowers
This year my time has been filled with three brilliant b’s...baby, blog and books! I’ve started reading and re-reading books that have been accumulating in a large pile to read when I have a moment. I’ve written a new post over on my blog about a special book I got for my birthday last year. Finally I have a few more answers about why being in nature feels so good, how it healed me years ago and continues to heal me when I need it to. Written by @florence999 it is one of my favourites this year. I highly recommend it if you want to understand why nature makes us feel happier, healthier and more creative #inspiredbynature #timeinnature #theseasonalcoachforcreativityseekers #seasonalcoaching #bookstagram #bookandtea #bookstagrammer #creativityinnature #inspirecreativity #booksandplants
The sunny days this week and beautiful golden morning light has lifted my spirits. I’ve started noticing the tiny buds that are appearing across trees as we walk in the park and explore gardens. Soaking up the vitamin D and the feeling of the warm sunshine on my skin has been just what I needed. There are small hints that nature is slowly waking and we are seeing the season shift. #embracingtheseasons #embracingtheseasonalshift #aseasonalshift #treebuds #wintertospring #naturephotography #naturelovers #littlemomentsinnature #seasonalcoaching #theseasonalcoachforcreativityseekers #littlestoriesofmylife #theseasonalcoach #inspiredbynature #savouringtheseason #timeinnature
I’ve shared my Winter Manifesto on my blog today. Spending time creating space for this practice has been part of my life for the past three years and I love having my own way to connect to the seasons #wintermanifesto #embracingtheseasons #embracingtheseasonalshift #seasonalmanifestos #cultivateaseasonalconnection #letsbecreative #lifepassioncoaching #seasonalcoaching
Snowdrops filled our local park for most of January and early February. They are now starting to fade away and be replaced by crocuses. I love the gentle shifts and changes...this week I’ve gathered my musings and noticings from January and have written a blog post to help journal my year. #journaling #journalingmyyear #snowdrops #embracingtheseasonalshift #embracingtheseasons #januaryjournal #littlestoriesofmylife
Nurture was my One Little Word 2018 and I’ve written about how it shaped my life last year over on my blog. I’ve been taking part in @aliedwards One Little Word course since 2013 and last year became a very special year for me and my chosen word. ⁣ ⁣ You may notice the new space where my blog is sitting. My blog is now part of my new website which is home to my seasonal coaching for creativity seekers business, lucyellenhill.com. A long awaited dream of creating my portfolio career and at last launching the coaching practice that has been in concept for some time. Thank you to those who have been cheering me on and hearing about my plans for my coaching business. I hope that it inspires people to have space to cultivate and live their version of a creative and wholesome life through the seasons. ⁣ This week I’ve been working on finishing off @susannahconway Unravel your Year book too, something I’ve done since 2014. I’ve taken it slow to savour the process and give myself space to think and am excited about the plans for the year. #embracingtheseasons #littlestoriesofmylife #journaling #onelittleword #aliedwards #unravelyouryear2019 #journaling #theseasonalcoachforcreativityseekers #nlpcoaching #lifepassioncoaching #walkingcoach #walkingcoachinginbristol #walkingcoaching #coachinginnature #creativitycoach #creativitycoachbristol #inspiredbynature
Juno loving the snow a week ago today. It’s pouring with rain in Brizzle today what a difference a week can make! #dogsofinstagram #winterwalk #embracingtheseasons
These boots are made for walking...these have been with me since I was about 15 years old when my parents took me to a shop called Peglers in Arundel to get a few things for the expedition part of my Bronze D of E award. I remember my Dad saying that he hoped I’d get a lot of wear out of them (they were the most expensive shoes I owned at £95 which at the time in the 1990s was really pricey). I love them and they are so good to stomp in any weather and perfect for the snow we had last week. #littlestoriesofmylife #embracingtheseasons #winterwalk #thequietwinter
Snowdrops emerging from the snow. We didn’t have to travel far to see these, our local park is just a short walk from our home and has hundreds of these beautiful flowers carpeting the space under the trees. I walk to this park most days and love seeing the shifts in the seasons. #littlestoriesofmylife #naturephotography #natureinthecity #snowday #snowdrops #britishnature #britishwinter #igersbristol #savourtheseasonalshift #embracingtheseasons #thequietwinter
