Art for Adele

the day after the garage sale hello

 Hi Adele,
 Nicole and I talked of many things in that short visit and today I was drawn to stuff that reminded me of our conversation.

We talked about “Decisions”... how while making them there is this, wrestling that goes on between your brain and your gut instinct.

And today leafing through the newspaper I found this

We talked about people and missing the group and friendships and hurt.

And today I was reminded of this piece of my writing, of not so long ago

Praying for courage to be me.

To live in harmony with different parts of myself.

Who have I become?

Hurt hurts

Hurts magnify

Magnify weakness

Weakness celebrates

Celebrates doubt

Doubt taints

Taints judgement

Judgement erodes

Erodes self

Self stresses

Stresses pressure

Pressure multiplies

Multiplies turmoil

Turmoil arrests

Arrests suppress

Suppress hurt

Hurt hurts

When will hurt heal?

Who am I becoming?

Hurts heal

Heal deep

Deep truths

Truths trigger

Trigger Love

Love unconditional

Unconditional giving

Giving Taking

Taking returning

Returning circles

Circles enable

Enable freedom

Freedom encircles

Encircles hurts

Hurts heal

We talked about finding work that pays $$$ and we wholeheartedly agreed that “purpose” had a far greater pull… I told her about this book, ‘The Fall of Freddie the Leaf’. Every Fall since they were little, I read it with my boys [now 18 and 15]… They humor me and I love it! It talks of many things, this time, most important for me is - trusting the unknown.

And today, I picked up the book and had such a fun time recording it on Garage band. All the time thinking of John Scully's detailed instructions at the Media literacy PDs. I want to work on it some more before I send it out.

I told Nicole about my sister who understands “restlessness” and how she invited me to breathe- just breathe - naming what I feel - then sending it out into the universe while thinking of other people feeling the same way.
Nicole gifted me this card

And today this card has found its place in my home.

We talked about how people say the weirdest things, that can knock the wind out of you in the moment. Yet, if you are willing to be aware, you realize, something within needs care. Questions led to more questions and we agreed that sometimes people, they just ask questions that are flawed. 

And today my Yoga instructor shared this quote 

Was today an example of synchronicity or was it God ordained?
