Wow. More inspiration. I found this at Jamie’s blog, Starshyne Productions, and it was absolutely inspiring. What we can achieve! And so much experience, so much wisdom.

And then there’s Jamie’s beautiful blog post on being present, choosing life. I loved reading about her breakthrough.
This is two days in a row that I’ve been touched by this thought, that art is accessible, that it is everywhere, in our everyday, all around us.

It’s been a beautiful morning - not sunny, kind of grayish, actually, but I sat in bed with my morning coffee and just luxuriated in the cool, crisp breeze coming in through the windows.
One thing I’ve been doing throughout this past “deadline” crunch week is making the time in the mornings to relax with my cup of coffee before I plunge into work. I find this kind of morning ritual fills me with energy for the rest of the day.
And it’s working. This morning I looked back over the week, and I have accomplished so much - without the chaotic, frazzled, hyper stressful feelings that I’ve experienced in the past. Those feelings are getting rare. I know who I’m choosing to be, and even in the midst of a ton of work, I am finding I can continue to rest consistently in who I’m choosing to be.
My work doesn’t define who I am. A very wise and loving friend once told me that. That was my wake-up call. And today, I’m celebrating the fact that I have fully embraced this. This past week has shown me that.
It’s been a beautiful morning.
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.
