At the reflecting pond...

I am trying something new today.
I adopted from another blogger and edited to suit me.
Because I know that I need organization (okay, a little OCD here)
Something to kick start my internal conversation -
for lack of more creative prose, and
just to put a name on it for now - I'll call it:
Dear Diary


Today Outside My Window…

I will try to be more...

I am thinking…

I will learn…

I am thankful for…

I will nourish myself by…

I am creating…

I am going…

I am reading…

I am hoping…

I am hearing…

Around the house…

One of my favorite things…

A few plans for the rest of the week...

Change

Some days you and I go mad.

Our bellies get stuffed full,

Hearts break, minds snap.

We can't go on the old way so

We change. Our lives pivot,

Forming a mysterious geometry.

-Lao Tzu, 365 Tao, Deng Ming-Dao

I must remember to engage life.
Moving forward.

In Search of Inspiration

Like many artists, I find myself with 'artist block'.
To be quite honest I have begun to refer to it as
AHS: Artist Hiatus Syndrome

I have been battling depression for a while now and
I believe it is, in part, because of my lack of a
creative outlet. I have decided to take a stand!
From this moment on I shall reignite the fire in my
belly to get creative - my soul yearns for it, aches for
it... REQUIRES it.

I have been getting inspired by so many things lately.
I think it makes my heart ache all the more - the yearning
to start creating in a more dedicated fashion. Not just the
here-and-there odd jobs I have been known to do lately.
I've made so many promises to people and now I have
started to deliver - albeit in small increments. But it has
started to lift the weight of darkness I have felt for so long.

Home life notwithstanding, things are improving and I can
only hope that they continue to do so. With my renewed
passion for change, I hope to become healthier in spirit
by the only way that works for me... being creative.

I hope you stick with me on my journey - oh great Universe.

here goes...
