Of Curiosity Capsules

Edition 2: Moodling into curiosity

Hi! It’s Debs from Take a Moodle with Me. I write about moodling (yes, it’s a thing!) both metaphorically and literally as a way to find small pockets of time in your everyday life to connect or reconnect with yourself, others and nature, in a slower, more intentional way.

Here are 5 things that I've put into my Curiosity Capsule recently. If you’re wondering what this is all about, have a read of this.

1. How to “retreat” and contrast with my “normal” daily routine? What other ways are there to retreat? An upcoming 17-day housesit provides a perfect opportunity to be still and empty my mind, to nurture my creativity and replenish my depleted energies. [Chamber of Collected Ideas]

2. What will my life look like as I begin to explore making a living from some of my creative ideas? Beginning to be very curious about what my life will look like in 14 days time when my full-time work contract ends [Chamber of Collected Ideas]

3. Curious about the allure of writing microfiction. I’ve made a small leap into writing microfiction, or more accurately 100-word stories. I even created a new section in my Substack for them. You can read some of them here [Chamber of Creative Moments]

4. How will the creative collaborations pan out? I’ve recently connected with loads of people both online and in real life about creative collaborations. Contact me if you’re keen to collaborate in some way [Chamber of Connections]

5. What can be mapped? Building a mega list of “Things to Map” starting with some of these from Personal Geographies: Explorations in Mixed-Media Mapmaking by Jill K. Berry. You can see some of my map art here on Instagram [Chamber of Collected Ideas]
