Room for more

Dear anyone out there that has been tuning in & following my journey,

I apologize for my sporadic check-ins lately.  Thanks for being patient.

I wanted to let you know that I am at a place that involves making room for more.  (I actually just typed room for me before quickly changing it to more-could be a slip of the fingers, or could be my subconscious typing the "real" truth, but anyway...)  

It is a time for me.  A time to start moving in the direction that involves less care-taking and more time devoted to what I enjoy.  I am committed to keeping my time open to truly dive in and make this first attempt at a business work.

What that means is that some things have to shift, change, evolve or be tweaked in order to feel like there is room for everything.  I have had to let go of things, put things on hold, and fight the feeling of wanting to do everything.  This is hard for me.  I want to be able to do it all and do it all well!  But, I know myself- the standards I set are high and I can't breath when I cram too many commitments into my schedule.


So... I am hoping to keep this blog, but it might evolve as I go.  The journalling might infrequent or short.  I'm not sure.

I will also be posting thoughts on my new website for my business so you are welcome to follow the blog there.  Some of the posts from this site might be shown there too.

Whatever comes... thanks for the positivity that has kept me moving forward this year.  I feel it every time I sit down to write.

Letting go & holding on- how you can do both at the same time

Everyday I am thinking about letting go.  My days are spent in sessions with clients, or reading about decluttering tips, or writing blog posts, all in an effort to support clients as they let go of clutter and unwanted habits.  Letting go is something that I have made into my life's work, but never is it more "in my face" than when I sit with my grandma at the nursing home.  My grandma has Dementia/Alzheimers.  I don't even know what or which or why or how, but I do know that it seems we have lost her to the disease and letting go & holding on are happening all at once. As I sit and watch her sleep, I can stroke her hand and feel the many memories of playing Go to the Dump or Crazy Eight on my days off of Kindergarten, getting a home perm in her kitchen in elementary school, and painting my nails at her kitchen nook in H.S.  I remember learning how to snap a dish towel with my cousins as we cleaned up from holiday gatherings & singing and dancing...

Creativity

This summer has been a journey in the pursuit of my creative person!  It started with the desire to seek a new path, to try on some new ways of thinking, and to shift a bit from the usual patterns.  My soul was yearning to make more time for creativity, so I have been using the past two months to honor that spirit in me. I thought that I would start from the very beginning-try putting myself through an elementary art class.  That meant going through a step-by-step process of learning how to draw, watercolor, use oil pastels, paint, etc.  I got started with a kid's art book from the library and a trip to The Sketchy Artist.  I bought a few supplies and sat down to start my lessons. The lessons didn't last.  I am completely interested in playing around with all of the supplies and trying out techniques, but I found a rigid plan to "be creative" isn't what I need. What I am coming to understand is that creativity is more than an art class.  Creativity ...

What happens when you sprain your ankle...

The view as I iced my ankle.  Maybe a slow down is in order more often. This summer I had a firsthand lesson in patience-a big one!  I am a pretty motivated lady.  I set goals for myself, I have big expectations, I dig in, and I stay active, but this summer I had to shift down to the slow lane on the highway of my daily drive. I sprained my ankle goofing off-feeling young and fun!  It was an uncomfortable way to be brought back to reality and it put the brakes on some of my best laid plans for what I had hoped to get out of the summer. So.. I worked on my patience.  I had to rest.  I had to take time off.  I had to rethink how I was going to shift my goals and also fight the fear that time off would mean that I couldn't get back into the things that I loved-that I would miss opportunities and have regrets. I tried a lot of things that didn't really get me any where.  Some days I wanted to whine and other days I was sick of waiting to ...
