I write thoughtful letters every two weeks packed with tiny little nuggets of inspiration, personal insights and behind the scene messy life stories along with occasional updates on what’s coming new and what I have been working on.

  • 82, 83, 84/100 I've been experimenting with my work week lately. I'm trying to find a pattern that serves me the best and feels right for me. Ever since I made a few certain commitments; fortnightly newsletters, weekly blog posts and 100 day project had pushed me to share on Instagram daily (I skipped past two days as I needed some space and rest) I'm finding myself always on my toes to fulfill the existing commitments. These choices for commitments were informed ones. I made a deliberate pact with myself to keep showing up. I needed to make a habit of showing up and building confidence in doing so little by little. Would you believe that I've had my website ready and live a year and a half ago but never really shared about my offerings until very recently? I needed these commitments to start showing up and taking up some space. I have thought about how I want my work week to look like to reduce that overwhelm that I have been feeling lately. Also because I have some exciting new ideas that I want to be bringing to life and need some space to make them happen. I have come up with themes for my days. Roughly they look something like this: ✨ Mondays are for writing; blog posts, captions, newsletters anything that involves writing ✨ Tuesdays are for photography, editing and scheduling ✨ Wednesdays are for client calls ✨ Thursdays are for Editorial tasks; website and such whichever one needs the most attention ✨ Fridays are for exploration, learning and working on new things So far, it has not been ''really'' working as I expected it to be as I'm finding myself needing more time to adjust to this new way of approaching work but this week has kicked off in such a good spirit. I spent the whole day today writing. Lots of new and exciting things! Especially happy about my contribution for The Everyday Difference Community Project that's curated by @ruthpoundwhite It starts 1st July. 30 heart-led business owners sharing what it means to make an everyday difference. There's a link in her bio to learn more about it & to sign up! ✨ Can I just say, this feels like the highlight of my year so far? I'm excited yet terrified at the same time (in a good way!)
  • 81/100 I have spent today writing another thoughtful letter for the community, sharing spotlight notes and hearing the lovely feedback from clients. Fills my heart with utter joy to see things shifting for them. And now I'm feeling ready for the weekend! This Sunday's letter is all about making a list of things you'd like to do someday. I'm reflecting and sharing my thoughts around what do we need to do with that list as we are nearing the second quarter of the year. These letters are my favorite way of communicating, sharing my ideas and personal stories along with tiny nuggets of inspirations, personal insights, and creative pep-talks. If you haven't already signed up you can either follow the link in my bio to do so or you can simply send me a DM to sign up. Swipe left for day 81's abstract adventures!
  • 79,80/100 It's been a while since I showed my face here. I honestly love seeing faces especially when introverts like me stretch their comfort zones and experiment like I'm doing right now :) So yes, I just wanted to come on and say Hello! and share some random facts about me as I have never done this here before. . ✨I'm Hira, the face behind this feed. I'm a certified Product Designer with years of corporate experience (6 years to be exact) under my belt before starting this online venture of my own where I get to set the terms in my own unique, messy and human way! . ✨While I was still working for the corporate, I switched my job title at least 5 times in a quest to find the one thing, my one thing that I'd love doing for the rest of my life. (I have finally found my one thing and that's - I'm a Philomath) . ✨I come from the city of lights, 'Lahore, Pakistan'. I have always lived there but spent my childhood years someplace far away from the big city life in a small town at 2 hours long drive from Lahore. Maybe that's why I like peace, quiet and stillness around me. I love greens all around me but I suck at keeping plants. . ✨Before moving to Copenhagen with my husband Sameer, I had never seen a beach or sea in real life. (Can you believe it?) but I have always loved swimming and the blue waters. Baltic Sea is a little too cold for me to take a dip. . ✨...which brings me to share something I have never shared online before, I have a chronic illness - a condition that's called Hypothyroidism which basically means underactivity when it comes to metabolism and most days full of brain fog and almost zero motivation. Oh and hypersentivity towards feeling cold. I still love living in Denmark though. A paradox? . ✨I am a Highly Sensitive Person, empathetic so much so that I can't watch news or any thing that has a hint of voilence and injustice in it. It keeps me sad for longer streches of time and I can't just snap out of it as I'm the 'feel all the feelings' type person. . Woah.. that was a lot to take in, right? Now help me take the vulnerability hangover off me and share something about you!!
  • 78/100 Today was all bit of a rush. I’m still trying to find my feet. Until the client call it was all good and went really well but then I had deadlines for freelance design projects and my laptop wasn’t (still not) helping me get it done. Sometimes it can be frustrating to hustle with the technology - a bit of a rant it is I guess. Taking a note: I’m going to rethink and evaluate all this once the 100 day project ends :) . Also, moving on to abstraction again as I want to experiment more with the abstract and multimedia paintings in the last 20 days of the challenge. Can’t believe we are almost approaching the end already. Swipe left for 'Unknown territorial 1' Watercolor markers on paper
  • 77/100 I'm taking in all the summer joys while I still can. I spent my childhood in a small town/ village near Okara, Pakistan. I remember in one of our summer holidays it rained a lot. Summer rain has always been my favorite to play in. They were the most favorite part of the Summer for me. Recent summer rains here have brought back all those wonderful memories. This picture is from one of the latest summer rains. It's quite sunny today though. P.S. Making this today reminded me of the drawings I used to make as a child. All Nostalgic today!

  • 76/100 I don't really have anything to say today (and that’s okay too!) Instead I'm sharing this one with you... '“I am seeking. I am striving. I am in it with all my heart.” –Vincent van Gogh Swipe left for 'Moment in time' Watercolor markers on paper Hop on the stories to see the picture I took inspiration from :)
  • 75/100 . 'I’m not very creative” doesn’t work. There’s no such thing as creative people and non-creative people. There are only people who use their creativity and people who don’t. Unused creativity doesn’t just disappear. It lives within us until it’s expressed, neglected to death, or suffocated by resentment and fear.' @brenebrown . This right here explains why I felt the need to write down and share my story of guilt with you all. It was kind of suffocating to not be able to embrace it. But I'm so grateful for each one of you to be here with me on this journey and for following along every single day! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Brene's work has been my inspiration and guiding light. #communitywhp_inspired Swipe left to see what I turned this image into :) 'Way to the Clouds' Watercolor markers on paper
  • 74/100 The nature's colors melting into each other fascinates me. How they flow from the sky, to trees, to moss, and to grass. It is a constant flow. It is life. How often have you seen this oneness, this harmony around you? Swipe left for 'Green Silhouettes' Watercolor markers on paper Swipe left once again to see the picture I took inspiration from :)
  • 73/100 I'm feeling a new kind of energy all around me, the good kind. Yesterday, while talking to @everydayavantgarde I realized how much I myself enjoy these conversations. I love how we are able to relate and learn from each other's experiences. There are limits to how much you can talk in 90 mins but I really was surprised to see how much we covered, I'm going to share the details of the available coaching packages in case you are interested to know more about it too. I have two coaching packages available at the moment. Spotlight - one-off call focused on a particular topic you need help with Deep Dive - 3-month long Coaching comprising of 6 calls (2 each month) for ongoing support and accountability After each call I send out a recording, detailed notes, action steps and some vaulable resources to help you keep moving forward in your creative journey. I have shared a sneak peek in my stories :) And if working togther seems like something you'd be interested in the link is in my profile. Also there is a special introductory offer for any calls booked in June and July. Swipe left for 'The Winding Road' Watercolor markers on paper
