Haiku My Heart–I am the Artist

The light is in me.

It flows out into my world.

I am the Artist.

 

Here we are Friday already.

This week has been all about me.

Selfish, eh ?

No, not really.

Self-serving, yes!

In the very best sense of these words!

I re-found my Artist spirit.

I journaled and painted.

I spent time with some friends who understand the value of creative time.

I spent time with a friend who really gets me and sees my shiny.

I slept late, made my Honey laugh, hugged and loved him tight, though the bumps that life brings us.

I let go of some hurt/”please love me”  issues that have been plaguing me.

The very, very best thing of all is that

I rediscovered my own power

to make this life a reflection of the brilliant, powerful being that I am.

I remembered how frickin’ Awesome I am !

Huge stuff, right ?

From the outside, nothing would seem to have changed in my life this week.

But on the inside?

Wowza!

Now to take this rediscovery,

and my big bad awesome Self,

and continue on my bittersweet, glorious life journey.

Can you tell I am excited ?

Remember, you are the Artists, Beautiful Ones.

Color your world !

Haiku My Heart–The Words Said…

The pursuit wears on.

Strive, change, chase, never enough.

Just be happy NOW !

(Little Happy decked out for the day in the studio)

 

This morning I awoke with that striving mode, self-defeating monkey brain crap in my head.

“Yeah, you’re making changes but you have so much to change, you’ll never get there !”

“Other people have the answers and are applying them and having “success”. It must be you who is weak.”

“Weak.”

“Weak.”

Man, it sucks to wake up like that.

I got up, poured myself a cup of coffee and headed to the computer.

One of the first things I read on Facebook was this :

This morning, these were the exact words I needed to banish the monkey brain and those negative thoughts !

JUST BE HAPPY.

Those words started ringing in my mind like a sweet chime.

I took a bunch of deep breaths and thought “Yes.”

Felt “Yes.”

Phew…

Of course, monkey brain tried a few times to put up a fight, focused on what was “wrong” and “not enough”,

but the real me is finding the strength to tell that pain in the butt part of my brain to f-off !

So the plan for today is focusing on

just

being

happy.

And just maybe,

with a little help from my monkey brain banishing friends,

I can BE there for awhile.

Happy Friday, Beautiful Ones !

Leave to the Hibiscus !

Lily the Frog and I are going to try and forget perfect today.

Let’s leave that one to the hibiscus !

My sister and her gang arrive later today and instead of focusing on how fun it is going to be and how much David and I have done to accommodate and prepare for the sweet family we love,

I am continually seeing all the things that didn’t get done or what isn’t “perfect”.

Why is that crazy voice so damn strong ????

Anyway, I am off to walk with the doggie and hopefully, come back with a new focus.

Happy Monday, Beautiful Ones !

Let’s focus on what is right, shall we ?

Haiku My Heart–Life’s Work

Blooming in glory.

A storm of change comes on through.

I learn to let go.

 

**********************************

My Mommy-Guru often says “In this life, you are never unemployed.”

Today, I have been issued my tasks very clearly.

One is letting go.

The other is sending LOVE.

Not bad work, if you can get it.

Happy Friday, Beautiful Ones !

Share the Joy Thursday–A fine mingling…

I will admit that sharing the joy and staying in a place of joy this morning is a struggle.

That is because somebody really pissed me off.

They treated David and me with disrespect and rudeness.

Grrrrrr…

That is the struggle when you really, truly believe that LOVE is the answer.

What do you do when someone pisses you off really badly ?

Love still has to apply, right ?

If I am going to stick to core beliefs, which I want to.

So I am working on making my own mingling of letting go and holding on as fine as I can this morning.

For that is the Art of Living.

In that vein, here are a few simple joys that filled me up with Love…

- arriving home after an evening with a girlfriend to find that my hubby had re-attached our twinkle lights over the bed totally of his own volition. Love him so very much.

- celebrating my friend Lois’s birthday with her yesterday with chatter, laughter, yummy supper and dessert and of course, candles and wishes !

- art journal pages that just flow out of me – like the one above that came together this morning as I worked through some anger.

It went from this :

to this :

in about 35 minutes. Love it when that happens !

- and finally for today, my joy resides in my friendships and connections with my blogging friends. Please know how much I appreciate your hearts !

(There. That ought to zap the anger out a little more, right ?)

Have a joyous Thursday, Beautiful Ones.
