If life has taught me anything, it is that the adventure is in the process, the journey, the doing – not the finished project or destination. And that its those things you didn’t actually plan for that end up being the greatest adventure.
Hello and welcome.
Grafjen is all about:
The adventure in the process. Living creatively in unexpected ways. Letting diverse interests intertwine. Taking your time. Going at your own pace. Making room for awe, for mystery, for not knowing everything. Never being fully ready but taking action anyway. Starting the journey even without seeing the end in mind. Knowing it’s not really how long you take but what you learn along the way. Embracing mistakes to get better, to learn more, and knowing sometimes the answer or revelation is in the mistakes. Giving space (no matter how small) and time (no matter how little) for exploration and creativity. The unplanned and uncharted adventure. Occasionally just do nothing. Letting go and winging it. Stepping into the unknown. Being a beginner again. Continually learning and trying new things. Allowing for imperfection. Taking time to ponder, to wonder. Remaining curious. The random, the tangents, the meandering and mosey-ing, and the unexpected. Noticing, seeing, observing, stepping out of your comfort zone, daydreaming, telling stories, and being yourself.
So,
Grab a cup of coffee (or tea, or wine), sit down, relax – meander and mosey through the site and follow tangents and see what tickles your fancy. I have a seed of hope that somewhere here you stumble on something to inspire you, touch your heart, make you laugh or smile, or perhaps lift you up if you are down, or that prompts you to just start on something you’ve always been wanting to do.
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
