I'll be posting here only very sporadically for a while, while I try to get back into my own rhythm. I feel a strong need to surround myself with as much peace and beauty and wisdom as I can find, maybe creating some of my own along the way. Finally, fearlessly forging my very own path has become more and more important to me.
My deep and sincere thanks to all who left messages after my last two posts! I have removed these posts from the blog, but I've saved each of your lovely messages, so I can read them again and again. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'll be popping in throughout the summer, to see what you've been up to.
I'll probably only be popping in here to post some of my art, including the finished portrait of "the big guy."
Besides art, this will be another big focus for me this summer. I was a lucky winner of a free "Mindful Makeover Kit". I won this amazing multi-media program from Janice Lynne Lundy by leaving a comment on Laura Hegfield's wonderful blog, Shine the Devine: Creativity IS a Spiritual Practice. Jan Lundy is one of the wisest, most insightful people I know, and you can find her at her blog, Awakened Living and and her website, buddhachick.org.
Don’t bend;
don’t water it down;
don’t try to make it logical;
don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion.
Rather,
follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.
