Birthing and raising my beautiful son and amazing human will always be my greatest joy and achievement this lifetime. Needless to say, I feel tremendous gratitude for being a mom. What an odyssey with highlights that are simply innumerable! Quite extraordinary actually with so many golden opportunities to grow, expand in awareness, catapult beyond my mother’s tendencies and inadequacies, and increase my capacity to love.
I Spy
A bird.
Help
Today I meet with the Book Doulas. Feeling excited, curious, and a bit nervous, I welcome their professional help - direction and organization to complete and market my creative projects.
Flick It Away
This is my version of let it go. For me, the action of flicking makes the release more cognitive and successful.
Sizzle
Another energetic word.
Wowza
My son responded to something I sent him with this 1 word. The meaning - wondrous, surprisingly impressive. I felt motivated to paint it.
New Month
On this 1st day of May heading towards summer, feeling cheerful, I invoke colorful and plentiful opportunities.
Swaggering Skiier
When I reflect on the really fun times in my life starting as a teenage, skiing takes center stage. Whether on the slopes in Tahoe, Utah, or Colorado, it’s been a great sport for me. Many times I’d pause at the top of the mountains enjoying the enormous beauty and listening to the sound of silence before I headed downhill.
After completing this work, I immediately thought of a skiier with goggles possibly jumping off a cliff for greater exhilaration.
Movement
Last night I spoke with my former voice teacher of 34 years and now dear friend who recently moved from Berkeley to Seattle. Both living alone, we acknowledged that, of all the days, Sundays aren’t our favorite. The energy seems lower and feelings of isolation can be triggered. She attributes this to less movement overall, and I add perhaps a resting mindset in the ether.
Truth be told, on any day and moment, I can spark an energetic increase, sense of connection, and joy with my paints.
Rotatable Movement On Blue:
Destiny
Previously in my Karma post, I referred to trust in destiny.
