The Sunday Sunnies

The Sunday Sunnies is an act of defiance against the mind, an act to replace the concept of the notorious “Sunday Scaries”. At first, it started as a quiet Sunday morning solo practice in Heather’s home office. One of the benefits of being an early riser, not only enjoying the first cup of hot coffee but a quiet house with minimal distractions to plan, to strategize, to dream and reflect before the house is awake and the responsibilities alarm bell rings.

The concept is that Sunday is the first day of the week, not the last day of the weekend. The idea, simply, is to start your week early, choose to set positivity in motion and plan your week with intention. The goal, stop anxiously anticipating Mondays, take control, disrupt anxious thoughts and decisively crush goals instead.

A creative soul forever, starting with a career in graphic design, Heather delights in simplicity these days when it comes to art, going back to basics working with scissors and a glue stick. Her home office, a loving host to stacks of magazines, various collections of potential paper clippings and a persistent dusting of tiny paper scraps.
