As I sit writing this we are reaching the end of the first month of the new year. I have eased into 2019 pulling myself within even more than usual. So much has been going on in my life that it often feels like the inner personal work could be a full-time job of its own. I’m not complaining, truth be told I prefer the inner, spiritual work over most other types of work.
It’s my nature to go within when things are changing, shifting or challenging. The noise of the outside world can be deafening at times especially when I am trying to make sense of my own inner rhythms and emotions. Family dynamics have shifted, I welcomed a daughter at the end of last year-the beautiful little soul I heard call to me almost 3 years ago. My little family isn’t so little anymore and my days are spent nurturing and facilitating the learning of my children as I cultivate my own creative work.
There were so many ideas swimming in my end at the end of last year. So much I thought I wanted to do. Work I wanted to create, things I wanted to release into the world. Yet even as I wanted to charge on I hear a voice whispering for me to wait. To stay quiet, to think, to play. To once again relish in the creating for creating’s sake.
And that’s what I’m doing.
I am reconnecting with my writing practice, not for the future result-a finished book-but because I love writing. I am making art and journals for the love of creativity and I am blogging because I really miss sharing a little bit about myself with the outside world.
The podcasts are back as they really ground me and well, I love to talk. I hope you will hang around here, comment and reengage in the way we used to engage with blogs. I want to bring back some of the fun of just writing online for the fun of writing online. I want to share, ease into the year and play with my creativity because I do love it so much.
Want to play?
Until next time…
