Tonight there's a new moon and seeing that I have lots of new changes to implement, it seems fitting to gather them up on this evening and put them on the wind as intentions. The new moon is dark and (my favorite word) FERTILE (yes, I'm ovulating.) and I invite you to ride into the tube with me and celebrate this time of being little seeds in the warm earth.
I keep prattling on about a whole new way of doing things. What does that really mean? And look like?
What it means to me today is that I have mounting creative energy and ideas, so next week is my week to come in here with my painting frock on and start getting some of them down in color. I'm doing a little bit of sketching and playing with color palettes and having fun before I come to play.
And I'm going to call it play instead of work. Because playing feeds me and working depletes me. And I happen to enjoy my pieces more when I create them from a playful place.
And I'm not going to get carried away with sentiments of promotion and marketing and who-gives-a-damn. It's when I seduce myself with fanciful ideas of bigness and spreading my lovin' all around town that leads me into overworking myself, taking on too much, dishonoring my commitment to make creating art joyful and replenishing, and becoming sick, grumpy mom whom no one likes to be around. I am already booked up for the year with sweet group shows-not too many-just enough, and there is no need for me to seek over the hedgerow for more than I can handle.
This week I am finishing up tax prep and organizing recipes, of all things! I have a snazzy new binder that I can't wait to show you! And of course, sharing more from the Toolkit.
And....gearing up for Baby Girl's FIRST birthday! Yippeeee! This year with her has been a one of growth for all of us and she has brought with her such strong magic, which we are very blessed to witness. I'm so proud of this little stinker. She has no idea what a bright light she is.
