In sticking with this theme, and preparing for big changes to come, I'm going to keep pitching out ideas of any and all areas ripe for letting go. Here's the latest:
Letting go of things: I've been holding onto an entire shelved closet full of art supplies, which has continued to accumulate since I've been in this studio. When I go to do a clean-out, I save things that I think the kids might like to play with later, or that I enjoyed making a certain piece with. Fabrics, wool roving, paints, leaves and twigs, found objects and hardware, glues of every shape, size, and tackiness, collage papers... So I ask again, what's going on underneath it all when I know I want to slim it down by over half and I can't seem to do it? The feeling that comes up is, Oh, hello, fear again. My thoughts around this one is that I won't have what I need when I have an ignited idea and need to execute it with urgency. I'm going to let go of my fear of Not Being Able to Be Fully Expressed.
What bit of skin is sloughing off of you today?
