Peace and Ease
This week finds me with quiet time, creative time, thinking and dreaming time, time for me, time to slow down and receive the gifts inherent in time. Time to linger, to indulge my curiosity, to enjoy a moment; a sunset, the smell of rain, watching a butterfly, or the moon. When I am at peace and in ease, I have time to relax and ponder me, maybe “we”. Time to connect to others with more than a passing wave.
Time for me, hmmm – what a wonder-filled concept. What to do with time? Write, work, dream, clean, create, eat, feed the muses, free the soul. Graphics, photos, design, vacuum, dishes, drawings, paint between the lines, over and outside the lines, take out the trash – me time.
A dilemma, a delight, a designated space by design – my time then a distraction – text dings – the phone rings. “Hello? Oh, Hi kiddo!” Ya gotta love it when the grand kids call, I do. It is special, such a gift. It makes my heart soar as I get back into “me time”.
Add a little drama here, a bit more there, techy challenges and ink replacements, but life moves on, time ticks away, inches off the edge of the desk, my time to use wisely or waste unthinking, time to enjoy or worry about. Time to open my mind and heart to a deeper level of awareness, to feel the beauty in being alive, now, in this time.
This week I have taken the time to find ease and peace (after these past weeks of calming a hot car and chasing after a hiding wallet). I gave me time in my comfy chair, celebrated my creativity with a new medicine bag, sank into my soft, snuggly bed dreaming, and at my desk writing, writing, writing.
Creativity overflowing my cup and I am so grateful for all the wonderful things that lie ahead. Time is spread out and wandering before me, and I get to choose where and how I want to spend it.
For you inquisitive types, here is a sneak peek at what is coming up in my neck of the woods:
- The launch of my next book, Get Off the Shelf (yeah, almost here)
- More Friday Food for your Fabulous Thoughts
- Occasional Tuesday Tidbits (things I am doing, or friends may be doing that I think ya’all might like).
- Someday you might find a Monday Morning Musing or a bit of Wednesday Wisdom in your inbox.
- Most exciting of all, a little mini-course on Mastering the Art of Putting You First is coming down the pike. Whooppeeeeee….
May your weekend gift you the scent of life on an evening breeze, joy, laughter, and sweet dreams.
