Heart Pouring


Bag of Dreams
Mixed Media Collage

Yesterday I had a bit of a 'break through'.....some things had been challenging me, one of those was my unwillingness to listen to others. I know that good communications is not only about speaking but hearing too... you know that one mouth, 2 ears thing. I was getting really frustrated listening and expressed my inpatients ( I hope it was responsibly). I have also wanted to, for some time now learn how to layer in Photoshop. I just couldn't get it! I knew it was meant to be easy......

I spent sometime looking into my chart and what was being reflected to me. Then I had an aha! through becoming aware of how think and communicate and unwanted/negetive information. I came back to the computer and it all fell into place. I got the layering thing and designed my banner.....I up loaded a tshirt design and card at Red Bubble, put a spam filter (thanks Anna) on my email and registered for 'Don't Call' for unwanted telemarketing calls(thank you Shane!). And I made a start on my etsy shop (yes I've been wanting to do that for the longest time, but no action until yesterday). It was quite a flood of information unblocking.

I also made a conscious decision to no longer compromise my creativity, for approval or to fit in the 'painting artist' mould.Hooray I'm free and I have my bag of Dreams, to create in a way that is true to me...regardless.

So today I woke happy and joyful, did my Chi Gong and walked. I feel amazingly true. The affirmation card I pulled today is.....


I no longer need to hide the True Me from others.
