It feels like Friday to me. Well, maybe not Friday – more like “the end of the week”, whatever flavor that is. And most of all, I am feeling inspired and moved and very much in alignment.
This week, I have come full circle. Unexpectedly, but then again, I started off the week with the decision that I am open to the magical, to those sparks of spontaneity and synchronicity, to the beauty of uncertainty. And now, here I am. I find myself settled in a place that I had only touched on briefly before. Paths I had previously taken are now all open before me, beautifully merged into one.
Art.
Writing.
Life.
Love.
Being.
It is the most incredible feeling. And making things even more gorgeous, I came across Karen’s post on her epiphany:
I need to just let the faces happen. I don’t have to be in charge.
I don’t have to be in charge.
Say it to yourself. “I don’t have to be in charge.”
Wow. That’s a biggie. All I have to do is pay attention to opening up to something bigger than myself.
As in art, so in life. If I needed a reminder, there it is. It’s Dreamwalking at its best.
And so I go to bed tonight, so inspired. I’m feeling this connection that’s just glorious – to my husband, who’s away at a seminar in New York, to my kids, each of them sleeping peacefully in their bed, and most of all, to the me I’m choosing to be. All of me: art, writing, life, love, being.
I'd love to hear from you: Click here to add your thoughts!

i do not have to be in charge!

Came here looking for your drawing and found myself, quoted, instead! I’m glad you liked that post. It was a huge turning point for me.
Love your pictures of train layouts! My ‘Thomas the Tank Engine’ boy is almost sixteen and a sophomore in high school, even though it seems (to me) that just yesterday he was completely absorbed by Gordon and James and the Troublesome Trucks. Good days. Enjoy them…

soulbrush, I find it’s the remembering that’s the tricky part! But it’s been getting easier and easier lately.
Thanks for coming by, Karen. Your epiphany was just beautiful, and I was so glad I found it last night!
