I am proud to share the progress I have made with all this weeding out, organizing, and simplifying. The feeling of "everything has it's place" is heavenly. I have 3 large trash bags ready to go to GoodWill, and it feels so good to be that much lighter.
On the subject of lighter, I have had a tough winter with my relationship with food. It has been my best friend and comfort thru some stressful times and times of plain boredom. As Spring nears, so does my desire to put simplicity into other area's of my life. Eating, for me, has gotten a bit out of control. I have not been in the mindset that I am feeding my body for energy, but that is in the process of changing. With fewer things to distract me, a kitchen cleanse seems fitting . I will admit, having a 16 and 11 yr old at home, doesnt make healthy choices the easiest, but I have a great cookbook that I am going to start using. Making healthy snacks, I just know will make a difference. And now that the weather is much warmer, I am outside more. Went for a nice walk today and soon, I can start gardening. This week I hung clothes on the line( not that that is exercise) I am just excited I can!!!
OK, back to Operation Clean Up! Then tonight, some art journaling. Here are a few of my pages done so far...
I love love LOVE your pages! The colors are so soft and evocative ... like dreams captured on the page. inspiring stuff! And it is fun to see how we all interpret Connie's lessons in our own ways.
ReplyDeletei have been receiving my daily notes from the Universe and it has been an amazing experience to get The Right Note at the right time. A perfect balm against the flood of negative news in the papers or tv.
anyway, i plan on dipping back in here for future inspiration - keep journaling!
