Hi everyone, I'm Louise Gale - Artist and Creative Living Energy Coach from "Dream-Inspire-Create"
I strongly believe that the universe sends us little messages constantly. For many years I didn’t really listen until the summer of 2009. May 2011 saw my first year anniversary of being outof the corporate world and the launch of my new website.
To celebrate, I asked 11 amazing women who had inspired me on my journey so far to guest post, telling a story of Synchronicity, Serendipity andfollowing their Intuition. Thank you to all the inspiring souls who are part of this series and to my creative community who have supported and grown with me.
Please pop over to sign up to my list to get your e-book of 37 pages of stories, images and lovely inspiration.
Thank you Kelly Rae for also being part of this inspiring series.
To me, art has been the unexpected discovery of finding my passion. When I finally put paint onto paper, my heart and life exploded with a joy I hadn’t known before.
