My journey on the Path less traveled. Introverted survivor of childhood abuse using writing to “Bring on the thriving!” A little lopsided sometimes, stubborn, but smart enough to know it’s time to truly heal! 🙏🏻❤️
All that time in elementary school staring out the window daydreaming around whether or not you can really sit on a cloud?? Would you fall through?
Well, the Science teacher spoiled that one. 🤦♀️
How about how if you stare at it long enough and see your running elephant herd morph into a blurred version of what now looks like rocks falling off a cliff?
Oh, there’s lots to be said about daydreaming; the creative outlet, the freedom from reality, the temporary peace your mind can fall into,….
A messed up version of this can be found after a few glasses of wine too,…that “freeing of the mind.”
If we really knew some of our past “genius level” creative minds, and their true soul stories, and why addictions played such a part in some of their journeys?
Future research for me! It’s actually pretty sad how common it is for creativity gifted minds to end up caught in addition problems.
It seems like a kid daydreaming in class or an adult with a little extra wine can reach the same result, …..the feeling of escaping from reality, tapping in to unlimited creativity. (I know this one first hand, both versions).
Making the choice to look inside, to try to dig up that gift that God granted us so long ago. It’s there, we all have at least one!
And then like Picasso says about our life gift:
“…….the purpose of life is to give it away.”
Our Sparkle and what we do with it!! ✨
Live, laugh, love with everything you’ve got while you still can!! Thank you so much for stopping by. I truly appreciate and value you all!! 💜✨
Good morning my blogging community! ❤️ I’m figuring my way out on here step by step, trying new apps, different themes, etc. What a dream come true for my writing spirit!
And in that spirit, my prayer for you and for myself is that the spirit of fear has no place in our lives. I’m praying that the peace that we’re meant to have, through God’s help, settles in our soul. There’s no room for fear here! We do have second and third chances,….it’s never too late to be what God meant for us to be.
Love and peace my friends. ❤️ Have a great Tuesday!
Two teenagers, two pets, one husband, and new Dollar store reading glasses,…what more could a girl ask for! Well, here’s the reality…so the “to do” list has the following for the day: check the car tires, need cat food/dog food/treats for both. Is my 9:30am appointment today or tomorrow? Sort those emails, having over 20,000 junkie ones is way out of control! Look up that self help group a friend mentioned. Since I’m paying for it….log the days weight watcher points, dang, keep forgetting. Oh, and one last thing, watch Hamilton! Sounds like I’m the only one left that hasn’t seen it yet.
And that’s just today’s list!
But then I get excited remembering I have a new writing outlet! I haven’t put pen to paper in like 30 years now just for fun. So many topics, so little time. No actually, I’ve got plenty of time. Working for a Cancer Specialty Hospital flips my daily perspective constantly. Thankful today for time,…time to write my lists and a little extra time after picking up the car from the shop, $400 later,…thankful I’m here and able to write tonight.
Since I’m still in start up mode I’ll share my core goals, my writing forum foundation if you will. Goal #1 – keeping it real; #2 – using or looking for the positivity in every day; #3 – kindness wins in the end, even when the hardest headed ones try to spread nastiness; #4 – finding the sparkle, we all have it somewhere, a gift/talent/a gem inside; and #5 – sharing my resources. I’m a crazy nerdy researcher and love to share good finds!
Introvert who is finally finding my much needed outlet, round 2! So now that folder marked “poems” from 1980 something won’t have to be the only proof I knew I liked to write.
Thanks for tuning in.
