welcome in, I'm in my fluffy slippers!

so here I am at my front door, welcoming you into my home with my fluffy slippers on. yep its the middle of summer and it is bizarre that I have my sheep skin slippers on, put there is a reason in my madness. always is isn't there?

a few days ago I read this post at Cypress Sun Jewelry (I do love to visit Amy!) about Imperfect Blogging. I was inspired to shared with her a recent aha moment I had about conversations + blogging. how I understand there needs to be a balance of light and shade in all things, not just in art but in words, in conversations + in blogging.

"I had a light bulb moment a couple of weeks ago I'd like to share... Recently I visited a dear-to-my-heart girl friend. Most of our conversations are deep and meaningful, always helpful + loving, sharing of stories where we both come away feeling some amazing resolution from our discussion. I felt this visit was not like that at all. it had a different tone, with conversation about things in general. maybe it was because her children+ hubby were involved in the conversation...but I came away feeling like we hadn't connected.

What I realized later was that we HAD connected and that not ALL our conversation has to be empowering, intense or problem solving. it can just BE. and I felt like I had got to know part of her on a different level... and I "got" that my blogging can be the same. it doesn't always have to be profound, it can just be....and maybe this is a side of me my readers haven't seen yet, a side that I am now happy to share because this is the real me too.....like opening the door to visitors with my slippers on!"

and there was a moment of relaxed ease. that its ok to talk about everyday stuff, because that is part of who I am and who we are as artists, bloggers, creators. Being profound all the time can be too intense and a lot of self pressure ...I'm wanting to welcome some fun and good feelings when I blog + read. And I love visiting other blogs that get this too. Like this Red Tshirt post! it just makes me want to smile.....
