Good on you for calling out the negative feelings, but not feeling obligated to explain in any detail. I'm getting there myself!

What’s true is, letting go of the need to feel complete makes me feel whole. No external factor shall decide my state of being. That nature is my teacher and it is best to go with it than against it. Invest in good hosting and theme for my foodblog if I want to treat it as a business, listen to people who done it before and follow paths that have been taken before and course correct guided by insight and connection to higher self. Qualitative soul, quantitative physical exertion with effortless effort. Watchfulness of attitude towards what I’m doing at all times. To be honorable, non judging and helpful to self and others ❤️

Beautiful truths. <3 <3

Beautiful. So much of this resonates for me. What’s true for me today is that I’m both tired and grateful, grieving and hopeful. My husband and I drove home late last night after my grandmothers funeral. I read one of the poems I wrote about her life, grieving--sometimes not always--is a compost for creativity. And I’m tired too, physically and emotionally, and rest is compost for creativity too ☺️

I love that phrase - compost for creativity. Get rest. Big hugs for you during this time. Grieving is such a complex thing and requires many phases of our attention. <3 <3 If you ever want to share that poem, I would be very touched to read it, but zero pressure as that is also very personal.

What’s true for me today is accepting my feelings of overwhelm.

Instead of pushing them down or distracting myself by creating another task, I allowed myself to sit with the feeling, befriend it and ask it what it needed. The answer that came back today was “massage” so that’s what I did.

There is always time to be more gentle with ourselves. As an artist it’s important to acknowledge that we give a lot of ourselves through our work AND our life. ❤️
