Body Electric

Now that one project has finished it is time to begin another~

My new projects are ambitious but then again so was the wedding and the self transformation boot camp I put myself through. And while I'm not done with working out and changing my eating I'm taking a little different approach. I've started reading more about organics and sustainable farming. I'm teaching myself how to shop and how to cook differently. I even bought a juicer! I've got a fast/detox looming on the horizon. I've got to learn how to eat and cook properly before baby!

My studies have sadly fallen by the wayside of late with Swan. I'm meeting her later this month...it bums me out we've stalled and I've got to do something about it. Step it up. Remember daily spiritual practice? Remember your dedication vows? Arg.

Oh, and aside from moving (again) I'm starting to prep for an art show in August. I've got big aspirations, we'll see. Finishing artwork is not something I'm familiar with...

Okay, my break is over, back to painting, just wanted to pop in....

Still tender but on the mend

I am absolutely unequivocally in love with art.

Every day I see so many things that inspire me, stoke the fires within me that fuel me to create, to daydream, to believe.

Life has been tough these last few years.

Looking back the images that come to mind are dark and dusty, muted. I know there was happiness. I know there was laughter. I also know there was a murky depression that settled over my heart for years.

Nearly 3 years to be exact.

During that time I struggled to be creative, struggled to write. I was inspiration-less. I felt completely lost and afraid.

The light chases the shadows~ I feel inspired, in love with life. I still struggle not to be wary. I feel skittish about celebrating my happiness. And then I remind myself to center and ground. Right now is right now. Revel in this moment.

There is so much beauty in this life, and I mean beauty in the broad all encompassing sense~

The surreal.

The grotesque.

The animalistic.

The serene.

The tender.

The awe inspiring.

The bright white heat.

The magickal.

The mysterious.

The nostalgic.

The sharp that cuts.

The daydream.
