Updates in Life with Gratitude!

Hey beautiful souls. I hope these words meet you where you are with a healthy dose of sweet love and gratitude.
My day has been… wonderful. So many insights, downloads and awarenesses. Those moments of, oh shit. This life is here. It’s mine. It’s fucking magic.

Today I feel extremely proud and grateful of where I am, where I’ve come from and where I’m going.
I worked a few hours at my side gig, a little restaurant in my town. It was super slow and we were over-staffed. I knew that I could be more productive at home, in my studio. This last week I had really gotten to a new level of my daily conscious creating. I start each day sitting in gratitude with what is, then I choose what energies I’d like to experience. What kind of life do I wish to create and explore? Like choosing a palette for your canvas. The key to this is feeling what that would feel like to me, then letting it go. Completely. No attachments. Remembering, there is creation in each moment whether we’re conscious of it or not. Each moment we can choose how we show up. How we respond.

I feel at peace. I feel at ease. I feel the subtle magic all around me. I am witnessing Love + the miracles of life swirl and dance touching all who embrace it. 
I’m choosing to care for myself each day, in whatever ways I’m able to meet myself.
Breath, Movement, Nature + Play being VITAL.

Coming back, I got a bit, swirly… So, I did come home and hit the studio. Prepared a few shipments for the post office and then decided it was time to hit the computer and put in some website work. It’s been on my can-do’s for quite some time. The goal being to have a vibrant and healthy website that is productive for me as I’m creating, livin’, lovin’. 

I listed a rad little collection in the Rugged Beauty Pendant Neckware Line. Please take a moment later to check them out!! Each piece is so unique and really carries it’s own signature and vibration, that when matched with it’s person is just amplified. Kind of like pheromones, ya know? 

After I finished, I felt a huge rush of proud come over me.
As an artist, I’m most happy creating. Not spending time on the computer…
A few months ago, I would not have been able to accomplish this. My focus and heart couldn’t go there.
A lot of this year was spent in survival mode and my health was not well. It was a hibernation period. A period for healing.
It might sound silly just listing a few pieces… but to me, it’s not. It’s huge.
This is me solidifying and pouring into what I’m choosing to create.
This is me seeing, the hard work is paying off.

Recently, I also began to make payments on…. MY NEW AIR COMPRESSOR!!! That’s right folks, it’s finally happening. Now, I don’t have it yet. It’s a huge beautiful beast of an air compressor. I have to get it here, which happens to be right next store. I have to pour a concrete pad and eventually build a little house for it to protect it from the elements and help with the sound. I have to get an electrician out here to get me the right power outside. But, I’m close. I know that I can’t do this alone either. These last few steps, I will need help! I have had to trust in myself and in others. This has also been a process for me.

It has been really hard not working on rock. If you’ve been following me for some time, you understand why. I sat with this recently, and instead of beating myself up for not working on stone much at all this past year, which I feel is a huge part of my path and calling, I realize, this last year… that wasn’t part of my path. This last year’s chapter was not about further developing that part of my craft, skill + art. But on development of Self and the individuation path. It was also a huge integration period.
Where this path has taken me, is quite marvelous. In days of old I would beat myself up for being in my late 30’s, and not being a master at something. But holy heck, I’ve come far man!!
Today, I know I have plenty of time to develop in all areas of my life. Of my masterpiece.
Today, I respect and acknowledge all the ways I have developed me, my craft, my skill + my art.

I now have desires to be connecting with other souls and am doing so to the best of my ability! This is huge as I’ve been the lone wolf most of my life, who craved isolation. It feels really good and I’m SO grateful for the amazing people I have in my life. Who are open to growth and soul connection yes, but also to living life. To experiencing our humanness, from a place of curiosity and love. Calling in my soul tribe! I’m learning to open a bit more, slowly taking down the walls, developing trust and loving my way through fear of being hurt. Fear of being truly, seen.

Navigating the single mama life with a split family and the spectrum of loneliness (which is actually quite beautiful), I am putting more weight in the love received from ALL souls, not just “the idea of” romantic interests. When we’re aligned with that kind of belief it limits so much other love wishing to come to you from the Universe.
I am loving the beauty and depth of this, as I notice, the conditioning within me that put more weight on compliments and love received from a significant other as opposed to, for example, the beautiful older woman at the post office, letting me know that I looked pretty in my skirt, and how lovely I was. It came from her heart. From Spirit.

Yes, there is always more work to do. We’re always learning. I don’t ever want to stop learning. Our work, our path, our journey, it never ends. But please, let’s remember to celebrate where we are, right here, right now.

Well my dears, I think that’s all for now. I am going to keep on keeping on. Riding the Waves. Tuning In. Setting my Course. Letting Go. Livin and Lovin Hard. Softening up. Moving my body. Saying yes. Choosing adventure. Walking the path of my heart. For myself and the greater good of all.

I love you tons.
Thank you.
