That got your attention, didn't it? What I mean is, I am crawling out from under the blanket of excuses I've woven for myself...excuses about why I am not expressing the person or the artist I am inside. I am shedding the suffocating weight of guilt - that which makes me feel like 'indulging' in creative experiences and just plain having fun is selfish and takes away from my responsibilities in life. The way I see it now is that my chief responsibility is being a happy, healthy woman so that it spills over onto my impressionable daughter. I am in charge of finding that inner peace and bliss that will permeate every relationship I have now and in the future. But most importantly, I owe is to my Self.
Today I discovered Pandora's Collective. If you haven't heard of it, google it. :) It's an artist's dream. If you want to know what the right-brain-inclined are doing in the Greater Vancouver area, check out their events listing. There is literally (oops, no pun intended) something happening every day of the month! Expect blog posts of my artist dates! Just don't expect too much right away...I am still finding my way through the cob webs that seem to have gathered while I wasn't looking.
I am also eagerly awaiting Dr. Christiane Northrup's book 'Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom" which should be arriving on my doorstep in the next few days. And yes, I'll post my thoughts on that as well. If any of you have read this book, please post a comment and share your thoughts.
Thanks for reading...
