The holidays have tapped on our door and empty time is placed in the basement.
I still have my intention
to engage in a creative force. I feel the chaos from my to-do list, the shopping, the events to schedule, the want to
bring joy and beauty to my home, and keeping creativity flowing.
Right now, my creativity is expressed
through writing. I am passionate about desires, ways to fulfillment, acceptance, creativity, wildness, connectedness,
paradoxes, and perspective. I have a huge curiosity about communication styles and happiness. I like change. I want
to explore every nook and cranny about life. I wonder about entering elder hood. I wonder about behaviors we do. I
wonder about the bigger picture.
I believe all creativity is of value even if no one sees it or likes it, but
me. It engages me in new ways and leads me. It is a surrender and satisfaction. It is mine and not. Creativity gives me
a relationship with me that is different than with another person.
I just need to show up with my blank
page, be honest, and let it flow.
Sometimes, I say,

I am not disciplined and your writing motivated me to JUST TRY SOMETHING…thanks
Funny about the basement. Son got married this summer. Both daughters moved out. Hubby died almost five years ago and I’m only 55…been cleaning out the basement. I just said to myself this morning “I’m NOT touching the basement until after the holidays”! Don’t have the spirit or energy I used to have; it’s difficult living alone. No motivation to even put up one decoration. I guess I’ll have to force myself…I DO have the time now.
