There is a quote I am learning more and more to appreciate it:
"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." - George Bernard Shaw
Create something absolutely magnificent, that makes your heart sing and makes a loving contribution to this world.

Starting over
I am not sure what happened to my blog, but it is MIA. So I am starting over. This is sort of a test to see what happens if this posts or not. More later!

Month 2 of my silent retreat already!
Finishing communications letting everyone know I will be out of communication for 3 days. It came fast. I am staying at home this time, I sent my fiance Reed off to the desert camping, it will be close to 80 degrees and pure sun, so he is excited. I hope it 's not too hot. Last month he couldn't go because of the terrible storms but this month it worked out just fine.
I received a beautiful Valentine's Day card from him which really touched my heart. I do feel very loved by him and by many others. It feels good.
Happy Valentines Day, I love you!!

Living at the Speed of Life
Do you ever just feel like you are going to burst right out of your skin? That you are so excited about creating something, anything, that you can hardly stand it? Me too!!
Isn't if fun to play? To create, to make. It doesn't matter even what it looks like. You can throw it out tomorrow, paint over it, cut it up and add it to something else. It's the impulse to create. And it is alive in all of us.
It may show up in different ways on different days in different years. Today it might be that extra touch in the kids lunch, creating a new gourmet (or not) dish for your family, it may be taking that picture you have been wanting to take and if you don't do it soon, the bloom will fade, the sun will disappear, the landscaper next door may cut it down or writing your heart out in your journal (or on line), painting, drawing, cutting, pasting . . .
Do it now! Quit reading, quit waiting, quit "but I can't"ing your self. Do it now before this precious moment passes, before that part of your soul dies from neglect. Before your kids grow up, before you do the laundry, before you do everything else for everyone else. Before that depression sets in. The depression of not allowing yourself to have fun. The depression of being what everyone else needs you to be and not being what you need you to be. Do it now! Do it because it 's fun. Do it because you can't afford to put yourself last anymore. Do it because you need to do it and you need to do it now.
The need to create, to have fun, to be fully alive, to live at the speed of life is real. Feed it. Stop feeding everything else in your life. Feed that most important part of you. Feed it everyday. Feed it often.
If you are still reading, stop! Go, create. Go live. Have fun!!
