My AM went so sideways ......

Whitney Freya was offering a live painting session for peace. I thought that sounds like just what I need right now. So I get all set - cup of tea, ipad set up, glasses of water for cleaning brushes, paper, watercolor palettes. Wyatt, my older kitty of the two I have, is sitting in his designated space (I know, a bit of a pipe dream) and I'm just putting some washi tape down so I can create some hearts with words in the middle of and the next thing I know all hell breaks loose. Wyatt is scrambling off the table and a water glass tips over and I'm drenched and my tabletop is a lake with water running down to the floor. Now, I don't know about you but if that's not a huge sign to do something else I don't know what is.

I'm a mess mentally and physically. I have to change clothes, clean up all the water and hope the table - the farm table I've had since before my daughter was born in 1987 isn't too damaged. I knew I had to do something to get calm and reset my energy field. At first I thought I would get paper and my micron pens and do some neuro/zen doodle/mindful drawing but then I thought I'd try some Picasso type of faces. They remind me of the favorite mixed media piece I've created, Blue Eyed Betty Roadster. She's a woven tapestry with wire and yarn for the base and salvaged auto parts.

Gotta love Pinterest for ideas/inspiration so off I go down the Pinterest rabbit hole and find some starting points. It was loads of fun and here are my funky fun faces and I do feel lots better. I highly recommend turning to some sort of activity that can take you out of where you are and into a place where time doesn't exist and you can come back to yourself renewed and settled.

Have a wonderful day!!




Thoughtis Interruptis

and yes, I'm making words up, but it fits!!!


 Well, that was interesting....

 

I'm sitting for a woman with cerebral palsy and it just sounded like someone knocked on the door. I was looking at my email, thinking I don't remember what and then I'm interrupted. I had asked for help and signs as I'm in a transition phase from one that has needed to end for some time now to my next chapter. I guess I was going down one of those thought roads that leads to nowhere great. You know that place, right? That place that doesn't support us in that moment and what we're actually desiring from life or to create in our life. That place that takes you down and down into that spiral of ick. And the ick feels so f-ing wrong but we often get stuck there. Damn, not a fun place to be.

 

So, now that I've had that interrupis what do I do, or think, or how to transform my ick place to one of great joy, peace, and love? Somewhere years ago there was a thought process to be - just be. Well, I had many ways in which that became something I wanted to create in art from. I have this long list of be.... whatever, like strong, kind, peaceful, etc. Well, it's resurfaced again and when writing this morning I was encouraged to create blog posts - does anyone even read those anymore - about those adjectives with be. Is it something I can do? Yes, do I want to? I'm kind of neutral about that as in this moment I feel earning an income is more important. Although, in this moment I have no idea where or how that will come about.


So, I appears that the be... to start with is Entrusting. For me that means to trust - but damn I've heard that f-ing word for years and it's  been difficult for me to do - that I'm certain I must do now. Trust in my connection to spirit. Trust in the messages I receive from spirit, the angels, and guides. Trust in my own abilities. Trust that I am safe and protected. Trust that when I get my thoughts inline with my feelings that are for my highest good I will see progress. Trust that the signs I receive are there for a reason like the Thougtis Interrutpis earlier. Or, the feathers, hearts or repetitive numbers I see all the time that tell me that I'm not alone and spirit, my angels, and guides are with me, always. Only using trust is too much of a "trust" for me. Entrusting is a bit more open and an action vs what feels like an esoteric bullshit word. Crazy, I know but it's ok. It's my evolving life and I'm the one who can decipher the events, etc however I choose. 

 

What experiences have you had with Thoughtis Interruptis?  

 

No images as I didn't seem to have any that fit right now. 😏

QOTD


For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

QOTD


One SONG can spark a moment
One FLOWER can wake the dream
One TREE can start a forest
One BIRD can herald spring
One SMILE begins a friendship
One HANDCLASP lifts a soul
One STAR can guide a ship at sea
One WORD can frame the goal
One VOTE can change a nation
One SUNBEAM lights a room
One LAUGH will conquer gloom
One STEP must start each journey
One WORD must start a prayer
One HOPE will raise our spirits
One TOUCH can show you care
One VOICE can speak with wisdom
One HEART can know what is true
One LIFE can make a difference.
