Trust and Creativity

I am playing a bit of catch up as I am beginning to process of creating my Wish Alchemy book and preparing it and myself for a time of contemplation each month. September and October were already in process so I wrote some thoughts about each theme, It was really great to take the time to think about these themes. It also helped me come up with some things to do to process through the topics, having some goals in each area.

The first theme was Trust (which is shown in the top picture) and creating a sacred space. My thoughts:

"Create the space within yourself that is sacred. When physical space is limited, you go within, finding that space that provides the opportunity to help you expand instead of shrink. Pay attention to those elements that push you into that sacred space. Breathe it in and live there for a while. It is there that you will see yourself as you are. Beautiful, whole, accepted and valued."

The next theme was Create and opening doorways. My thoughts:

"Through words, visuals, music, whatever....wherever the spirit within takes you. Ride the wave,let it take you places where your creativity flows and you can be one with that spirit within and what you will bring forth will be a beautiful representation of glorious you."

Through this exercise I am discovering the need to spend more time each day creating that sacred space. Thankfully, at the moment, I am staying at a cabin by the river, so finding the space to contemplate and spend time expanding comes easily for me in this surrounding. But very soon, I will need to create that space in other places as we are traveling on.

I am also discovering the need to have space in each day to create. Anything. I am challenging myself to create SOMETHING every day.

On a side note, this is very much an 'in the raw' process. I am not trying to perfect my writing or any art that is created, so basically, what you see and read is how it is birthed and will not be changed or attempted to be made better. I want to be as authentic as I possibly can and will present it here 'as is'.

Thank you for reading.

Creative thought seems to be pervasive in my life. I may not always get to act out those creative thoughts, but that doesn't mean that they are there any less. I try to find ways to add creativity in my life, whether it is through motherhood, through partnership with others, through my work...it is there.

There are times when I need to dive a bit more into the juiciness of what creativity can bring forth because I feel it only serves the people that are closest to me well, if I pay attention and move forward in creativity when it is speaking loudly into my soul.

So this is where I am currently living, diving deep into those wishes of creativity. And as my beautiful friend, Mindy Tsonas, is creating a space for others, like myself, that want to invite the wishes in,the desires that speak so loudly that they demand to be seen and heard and lived, I am joining her in this vision.

I will periodically be posting here some creations of wishes and desires that come forth for me. It will act as a journal of sorts for taking part in this journey with Mindy.

I am always excited to be able to allow my spirit to bring forth my inner creations and offer them as a visual representation of what my soul knows to be true. 

Thanks for joining me on this journey of discovery, wherever it may lead.
