And since fall is on the horizon I can't help but feel the change myself. I have been able to identify my seasonal mood swings easier as time ages me and I get wiser ;)
There is a restlessness in me. I have this imaginary pile of creative-mess before me and I feel like I'm trying to carry the mess (all these ideas, both in my art and in my daily life/schedule). It's a circus balancing act with me trying to maintain my center of gravity while not falling off the giant ball and simultaniously I'm trying hard not to drop the huge pile in my arms but it's swaying and I am sweating and peering over each side trying to see which direction to move in. Totally reminds me of the Wii circus juggling game. haha!
So if you were able to follow that vision with me then you'll know that I am in a transition...again. Thank God for progress and change and seasons.
I have made a new resolution (btw, I never wait for a "new year" to start a spontaneous-eureka resolution). I have decided to MAKE myself wake up before dawn. Some days are more successful than others. My goal is have a moment of focus every morning while God's mercies are NEW and while my baby is asleep. In the quiet dark of my house I'm able to breathe, sip hot coffee, pray, and logically plan out the day.
I'm opening myself up for inspiration from anywhere and everywhere.
I'm looking forward to beginning my art for the Christmas season and creating new unique ornaments. As of now I don't know what they will look like but I know that it is brewing.
Does anyone relate? Which season is your favorite? Who else is in limbo with me? :)
Blessings,
Bobbie

saying our "goodbyes" to an awesome summer 2011
I never like saying goodbye to summer, but I love welcoming fall! And this year we're in big time transition having moved to Raleigh (for J to go to grad school!) -- Just wanted to say I love this post and the challenge to wake before dawn for that quiet, still moment before the duties of the day are on our tail! I'll be aiming for 6am with you! :)
