Lately I've been designing designing designing…closet doors that look downright Moorish...
cubbies and closets and storage and all manner of creating space for stuff…to maybe fit into a Small area…just sayin'…
not necessarily a Tiny area, but mos def a Small one. And as I make space for Stuff, I'm making Space. re-clearing the clutter that seems to accumulate around my feet and sticks in my toes…the day to day stuff-and-junk that threatens to weigh my feet down. i have created a Promise…a ritual, i guess you'd say. each morning before i open my eyes, before Henry rolls on his back for a belly rub, i ask to go through the day with Grace and Dignity, and to hear the voice of God loudly and to follow the right steps for the day. that is my prayer. and i say "loudly" because i need to hear it loud - subtlety is lost on me. you may know that from knowing me. if you need me to do something, or have a request, hints are lost on me. just say it.
these are days when i'm re-finding my worth, and wondering if I am enough for myself? do i need to be more - is it time to stretch, or stay put? a number of things have put that question before me - watching the youngers surpass…is it finally my time to stop cleaning up everyone else's circus and get busy planting my garden? i think so. what am i willing to hold onto in order to fly light enough to achieve what i want? what am i willing to let go of has been answered…as i purge and re-purge my current space…art supplies again being packed up to go to new homes, clothing being dropped at the Thrifty in great bundles. now to lighten up the personal weight…the head…the heart…the hips. in that order. redefining priorities. making room for them and nothing else…no have-to's. too late in life for that.
Henry is just about crazed at the idea of his Best Girl coming over to play, so time to wrap it up.
Dream…
Be True To Yourself.
(sorry about the creepy woman in this video)
some kind of violin fascination lately...
