Full Steam Ahead
Good-day creative mates, I've been plotting out some fun new ways to reengage with blogging, stay inspired and share my creative magic without getting overwhelmed. Aside from putting 97% of my creative energy toward my first eee-course, Legend of You (I may be taking a while to piece it together but the wait will be worth it. I have never been more proud of anything in my life. I imagine it's what mothers must feel when their first child is born. That's the kind of energy I feel. Also that all my other "birthing" won't take as long after this...)
I'm cooking up some other fun projects, goals, and challenges to explore + blog about this year. Here are some ideas I'm churning around:
- Creative In-spur-ation: inner and outer things to spur the creative journey.
- Silly Sunday: something silly for the sake of pure silliness. Say that 10 times fast. This week I played dress-up (see last photo).
- Week-In-Pictures: A visual wrap up & some words on my journey each week. Trying to come up with a better name for this, but for now. . .
- 365 NightlyWanderings: 4 or 5 years ago I started to draw every night in bed. I wanted to improve my drawing skills, end my days creatively, and take advantage of that sleepy head-space to hopefully follow and collect strands of subconscious wisdom. I have rekindled this love affair and I'm taking it to bed with me every night via my iPad. A bit erotic? (^.^) More on this soon!
- Healing for ACOA's: It's no secret anymore -- I've only shared little glimpses of my journey to wholeness after being raised by an alcoholic, but I'm ready to step out of the closet with the fact I am an "adult child of an alcoholic" and I have wandered down many windy roads to get here and I am ready to help others (ACOA's and beyond) overcome and become whole again. Yes. The aftermath IS beautiful...
WEEK IN PICTURES:
S P A C E carved out in my studio. Hung shelves above and created a massive bulletin board.

A place to storyboard Legend of You .
To see it. To feel it (and other-such-dreams) made real. My intuition led me here and I'm loving it.
Revisited and created
NEW ART
Midweek: pushed past resistance and showed up to yoga class. Kundalini yoga has been one of the greatest experiences and teachers of my entire life.
Made the best coconut chicken curry of my life.
Felt the fierceness of what SHOWING UP can do. Do you know this feeling of pushing past?! Of showing up in the dark? Roooooar! (it moves mountains)
Some video stills: Week 3: Legend of You / Getting Grounded.
More video stills: found the legends of THIS TREE. . . what it had to share.
Dressed in blues and silvers under the NEW MOON!
Kissed stoic lions.
Ended it all with SILLY SUNDAY. Played dress up.
This week was all about resistance and moving forward. Onward and through. FULL STEAM AHEAD.
With my whole heart.
I send you love and all green lights. Wayne Dyer
