Good Morning...New Hope







Had such a late night last night for no reason other than my overactive thinking has started again. Most of my life, I have battled with trying to slow down or quiet by mind. She just keeps spilling out stuff, whirling around like the shuffle button on my stereo. Sometimes working on three or four projects at a time with poor results. And sleep...well that got to be a joke with being jarred awake with some (cool) idea after another. This would be an artist's dream if I could finish even a third of what I visualize. I have this one steady vision for a portrait of myself. The age thing and lack of progress as an artist has haunted me day and night! My canvas is very large and in it are the many Me's(lol)...at pivotal points in my life. A young child, first love, marriage, birth of children...all these forms of me at different ages are surrounding the centerpiece seated mature woman of me now! I've been taking head shots of myself, forcing me to deal with my battle scars and love me again. We spent so much time looking for someone to love, loving them and supporting that love but neglect to love ourselves first.. Maybe my subconscious is leading me on the right path.,

I read this and while doing so kept thinking "Oh how beautiful." You're awakening and that is such a beautiful process. You'll find you. I'm confident. I have a poem for you. I didn't write it, I don't write poems, and unfortunately don't have it on hand right now. I have to search through my emails for it because I sent it to my niece who does write poetry. I'll post it on my blog as soon as I find it. You'll love it. Trust me! Just trust me!

Finding you has been a gift. I'm glad you're here. Keep writing.

Much love,
Suzanne

thank you Suzanne, I feel so blessed to have someone listening out there that understands the journey we all must make. This is my time to live the dreams of my youth as a mature independent woman. It does feel awkward and daring to me at times but so very exciting.
With love,
Shara
