So, I've been doing that thing again,
working too hard, not giving myself enough
time and space to reflect and be.
I have been trying to get caught up on
editing photos, designing wedding albums,
and creating slideshows, hoping to work
on some custom artwork and then prepare
for my art show at the White Crane on Oct 2nd,
the holiday season looming . . .
And we've barely begun all the room switches
and painting at home that need to be done before
the baby arrives in early December.
This is my reminder to calm down and give
myself some breathing room. I'm no good
to myself or anyone else if I'm stressed
out and tired all the time. And as my
husband put it so eloquently last night,
"We'll be fine if the baby comes & none
of the house stuff gets done. People do it
all the time."
So I've decided to post my updated intentions
for my "Year of Sparkles in the Pavement"
to help me stay focused on what's important
and remind me to stay strong amidst
the uncertainty and chaos:
1. Fill everyday with things that inspire me.
2. Spend time outdoors.
3. Fill my body with things that nourish and energize me.
4. Be grateful for the things I have and the people in my life.
5. Be passionate about my life's work and achieving my goals while being compensated abundantly.
(I think it's funny how they get longer.)
Here's to allowing myself to begin again . . .
