This really isn't a 'quote' as such, but it certainly is a message. It's basically Part Two of the "pooped" one.  Choose ME! Choose ME!!!

I actually have been creating the photos and quotes, just not putting them up here because I couldn't commit to it Daily. I am however, still hearing music. I will just continue to march ... or dance ... to my own drummer ;-)

Pooped

I certainly am not the only one.  We women have been trying to hold it all together for centuries.  We are tough and tenacious and ... tired.

Declare it and Share it!

I haven't been able to post daily on this blog for a long time, and was feeling kind of badly about that. I miss doing it, but I can't see me getting the time to keep up with the Daily posts that I was doing. After listening to Daniel LaPorte's "A Credo for Making it Happen". I am figuring it out!  I can make this happen on different terms. I do have the Passion and I know I have the Life Force.  I WILL make progress. I will start fresh!  I will declare it and share it!


Have a listen to Danielle's Credo and you will see why I feel empowered and motivated! This is her advice:

You WILL figure it out.

Life force is on my side.

Start fresh.

Fear is natural.

Make tough choices.

Passion is fuel.

Declare it & share it.

Don’t let perfection become procrastination – do it NOW

Everything is progress.

Do what you say you’re going to do.

A Poem

And you can make the words up for the poem.

The ones for this picture would be beautiful,

and soft and flowing.

A Change

I like the eloquence of this quote.

I've spent a fair amount of thought on it.

And I'm still thinking.

Listen to Your Heart

My heart speaks at the water's edge.

I don't even have to listen that closely.

It sings. Loudly.

Far A Field

Perhaps in that field there is little judgement.

Or better yet - no judgement.

A peaceful, serene place to where we all should travel.

Singing Bird

It's not too difficult to figure out that joy begets joy.

A little spot for a green bough in your heart at all times is good advice.

And a good visual.

Forever Again

Which means that you shouldn't worry that it's a week into the New Year

 and you've let go of those resolutions already.

Give it a stab tomorrow. And tomorrow.

And forever tomorrow.

Fly

 True.

And think of all the fun along the way while one was learning all those things.

Dancing might be almost as much fun as flying.

Beginagain

Begin again.

Beginagain, beginagain, beginagain.

Nice ring to it.

Arms Wide Open

Sing along if you like.

It's a wonderful song - catchy tune & deeply meaningful lyrics.

I especially like 'Live your life with arms wide open'.

More Shells to Find

These little shells are what they call 'wrinkles' in Newfoundland.

I would name this picture 'A Wrinkle in Time'.

Of course.

Don't Wait

That indeed is the point.

Don't wait any longer - it's a New Year.

Let's get at 'er.

Begin

But do begin.
Aspiration is nothing
without that one simple action.

And Once Again ...

I've missed it.  The creative exercise of my Daily Muse.  New Year ... New Challenge.  

Here I go again.

Have Empty? Half Full?

You could say that I'm a little bit behind with this. Or you could say, since it was supposed to be only a one year project that that I squeezed out four extra months.

I'm in-between in my thoughts. Disappointed in a way that Life has steered me away from my Creative Process, but grateful & happy for those things that have been taking up my time.

I'll get back to it.  I'm priming my pump, filling my lantern.  The glass is still out on the table ... half full.  Always half FULL.

Start Where You Are

Sometimes it doesn't only seem overwhelming to start again, but it's hard to even remember the exact steps of doing it.  Sometimes, when life has taken a whole different direction you look back longingly at the time when everything was fitting in place. There's only one option for getting back on track ... START.

Start Again

I seem to have lost a handle on a lot of things in my life and am finding it difficult to catch up.  But I'm thinking that the only way to do it, is to start again.  Today is as good a day as any.
