The Positive Polly vs. Negative Nelly addition:
Psst, blog...I've both forgotten and avoided you these past few days. I'm not really sorry, but I kind of miss you. I'll get back into the swing of things soon. Thanks for hanging out patiently even when I'm not paying attention to you!
I just plain forgot to post yesterday. No real good excuses except that I spent the morning getting hugs and kisses from this cutie pie while I documented her 12 month self. I love taking photos. I love that people can have great pictures of their kids and "I did it!". So, I'm looking forward to taking more great photos in the future!
Today feels like a clean slate kind of day. That is what I wrote on my twitter account today (@laurahenglish is my twitter alias). Anyway, that is what I feel. I decided to start a new book Infinite Possibilities by Mike Dooley. I also am going to finish my journal book and start a new one that has a fun kaleidoscope of colors. In fact, I may just quickly end my other book without ACTUALLY filling every page. Just that act of NOT finishing is somewhat scary for me (in more of a psychological way...not real fear silly). So it may take courage but alas...maybe that is all I need to feel big and strong and in control....TA DA! Obviously I'm a little goofy today, but this clean slate thing is kind of a cool feeling...it feels like what you'd feel when looking at a big open vista with never ending views of nature. So now what? I don't know. I'm going to go with my gut (or one might call it intuition) on my next steps. That is pretty much how I run my life anyway, but the Tabula Rasa approach feels kind of groovy....DUDE!
I have a client coming to my house. I spent the morning tidying...I just felt the tell tale "click" feeling in my body where I know that I am feeling "good enough" about my house. I like the "click"...it helps me to let go of the perfectionist..."must have it perfect" feeling and lets me get on with my life. I don't know when this "click" perspective came into being but it has been in the past few years! I am learning to be neat, I am learning to employ wabi sabi techniques, I am learning to love my processes so that they don't overwhelm me! Feels really good...now to prepare my brain and heart for my client!
I'm looking forward to the day that I don't notice the left side of my skull. I look forward to the day in which the dull headache in my sinus cavity does not exist. I also look forward to the day that the jelly beans of the world do not speak to me. Is that a lot to ask?
Tons of books vying for my attention. I just read The Happiness Project by Gretchen Ruben. I'm halfway through Women, Food and God by Geneen Roth. I'm coordinating a group program with Creative Entrepreneur by Lisa Sonora Beam and then I have a handful of half finished books to complete. I'm being drawn to read more. I'm happy to oblige!
Today I restored via a 3 hour nap! I am still tired BUT that is exactly what I needed. I want to continue this indulgence by spending the rest of my day reading and relaxing. I am going to do it as long as I can before my family realizes I'm missing....catcha' later dudes!
This week my intention was restore. I don't actually know why I picked that but...I feel like I've restored:
