*scrooged

I got SCROOGED*!

Been feeling a bit discouraged on the creative front lately; I turned to my photo files and was inspired to take a fresh look at work previously designed to give me a nudge. I edited some photographs of collages created during past sessions at my work table, gave them a present refresh, and already have an idea for what I can do with them in the near future.

Looking back to what has come before can provide insight for the right now as well as inspire a direction for the path in front of us, so get scrooged and... 

keep your peepers open!

*ps….my definition of the word scrooged: when you find something created in the past, redesign it in the present, and know it has a future purpose - tsl

giving thanks

Each year, I compose a message for Thanksgiving, don’t recall it ever being in the form of a poem so I was pleasantly surprised when one began to break into my thoughts during meditation the other morning…

deck the halls…

hold that thought for a few

let us first give thanks

for some thanking is due

for family & friends 

both present and past

for homes that are spared 

from disasters so vast

for other fine trimmings 

not found on a tree

for breath that gives life…

now don’t you agree?

so let us be thankful

and once that is done

fill your plate with good food,

then give thanks for the yum! - © tsl

Have a Happy Thanksgiving and be sure to give this holiday season as you…

keep your peepers open!

free speak

Caution: the following is going to be a free write so no judgment on spelling, grammar, punctuation or sense making…

I’ve been productively dragging for awhile meaning, I feel like I’m in a slump yet I’ve accomplished things in that space as I feel like I’m not doing anything at all except standing/sitting still, my back lets me know this on the daily. If that sounds convoluted, well that’s an astute conclusion! Was I slipping into darkness? I thought my way through “is this depression” and came out on the other side knowing that that is all too real to way too many and knew I cannot use something so serious as an excuse/explanation for the need to repeatedly work though a word game rather than write, create, etc. when I’m not with a client or facilitating a workshop and when am I going to continue with my next writing project and another project in development? OY, is the exasperation with myself that I utter and on this morning when I wasn’t going to post because I didn’t have anything to say, it appears that I do. This past week, as another month came to a close, a new life was born into my family to usher in the next month (and generation, which just occurred to me). For some reason, a day or so before her arrival, I began to slowly clean my dwelling only taking on one or two chores a day until yesterday when there was only one ting left to do; I gently glided into the chair at my work table, cleared a large space, gathered materials that lay in waiting for me to acknowledge that I had torn/clipped them from magazines for a reason and that feeling that possesses me when the way I give birth is about to happen answered some of the not understanding what is going on questions. Someone is about to make her presence known. I can’t see who will appear on the table today or maybe not this day though like my first great niece who #premiepower arrived early and is already off the machines, someone is definitely pushing through and on her way so…

keep your peepers open!
