I get asked many times how I am able to do so much in a day/week/my life. All I can tell you is that I am very aware that life is fleeting. I am here but for a smidgen of time. There is so much I want to do! I really mean it when I say my list is extensive! I believe in living deliberately and not giving in to the part of you that just wants to relax and cocoon. If I cocooned my whole life, I would not be doing what I call living at all. One of my favorite things to do is curl up with a soft fuzzy blanket and read a book or scroll on my phone. I need to rest between whatever action I am taking. As the mother of a handicapped child, I can tell you that it’s so easy to just sit between taking care of him. If that is all I did nothing would ever get done. Throw in working outside the house, cleaning, cooking, and general life stuff and I could say my life is full but where do I exist in this equation? Where do I bloom? Who am I? I do not want to be a figurative robot moving through the motions of what I feel I have to do. There was a time when I was housebound and didn’t get outside to do anything for years. The first time I did a normal activity like put gas in my car I was scared. It felt weird to me to feel that way, but I did. When I realized this, I decided I needed to do something about it and do something that would make me feel alive. Something that would identify me and my soul. I would take a class outside the house if I could find someone to watch Paul. If I could find a way to work outside the house, I would. If I could figure out a way to go to church, it was a blessing. If there was no way to leave, I did church in my house. I came to the conclusion that your life is a living prayer. The act of moving through your day with intention and deliberation for God and the good of your soul, and your family, and humanity is where it’s at! Your life itself is a work of art and you are the artist working on it. Everything you do! The Creator made us in His image, so we are creators too. Figure out your purpose which may change from time to time. Create the life you want! Do it for Him! Do it for yourself! Do it for humanity! We are all connected and all brothers and sisters, Hugs and love to you, my family!
This is me
This is you
Put on the crown and take action in your life
Let your thoughts words and deeds reflect who you want to be
Your authentic self
Your life is a living work of art
