love, health, creative growth, confident strength, engagement, opennness, movement. 

my seven-fold mantra..

i'm doing 'the artists way' process, albeit slowly. trying to release whatever constraints are on the creative beast that's pumping within me. in chapter two, it mentions how pain focuses us. brings our attention to the now. and how paying attention...is the key to healing. 

i am finding that so true these days. the past is too painful and bittersweet to remember right now, and the rug has been pulled out from many of the dreams i'd delicately placed for the future...so, all i have is what's right here before me. i'm standing calm amidst the aftermath of a storm. looking around at what pieces i even want to pick up and put back into place. some things...some things i just want to sweep away and never see again...
