Monday - Finding my sea legs after a brief absence

I've been away from social media for two weeks. It was a nice break. It felt just long enough and not nearly long enough at the same time.

This time, I did some writing in my journal making notes about the moon phases and my energy levels. I seem to be in tune with the moon more than I was aware and am doing what I should, when I should as far as self-care goes. That's pretty cool. I have had a long love affair with the moon. It seems to help me when I need it the most. Intuition is wonderful and I'm grateful for it. However, it also seems if I truly focus on manifesting what I'd like to have happen in my life during a certain time in the moon's cycle, I find it easier to record my thoughts about art, life and manifesting for the few weeks in the future when I will be creating something new before the next break.

As well as caring for myself during these two weeks I figure out the next phase of art life for myself. Really focusing on it and writing it down! It's always evolving. There doesn't seem to be one thing I love most that I'm doing now. It's all important and a part of me now. It is why I write a daily "chore" although it's not a chore at all, prompting me to spend the day working on an art journal page, for instance. If I don't feel the pull to do that, I'm okay with doing something else, but almost always if the list says it, I do it. The guess work and confusion is gone when I do it this way.

While I was gone I got a small mosaic ready for grout which will go into Etsy once it's finished (sometime this month). I'll share that post separately; actually all I want to share I can do in one post or five. I decided on three for this week.

During Memorial Day weekend, we had a nice visit from the sun. Our precious pup and I did our best to enjoy the rays for a few minutes. It's been windy when it rains; the trees have been throwing sticks onto the deck which we both ignored because the sun was just too inviting to care about cleaning up the deck.

My family made a small bonfire and roasted marshmallows for S'mores during the evening. I didn't have any (too sweet for this diabetic) but I enjoyed the fire quite a bit.

While meditating one evening using InsightTimer (download this if you can and use it often - I'm not getting paid for this advice, I freely give it - it has changed my life) I saw this quote from Zig Ziglar. Please look him up if you don't know who he is. He's one of the best motivational dudes with great advice on life in general as well as specific things like business (mostly sales but not limited to).

 It seemed fitting to save and share.

Now that my sea legs are getting slightly stronger, for the next few weeks I'll be continuing with my art in all forms and sharing it on my social media fav spots. You can find all the links to the right of this post.

Next post will be on Wednesday!

 

Enjoy the journey.
