Balance

Hello everyone...

Here we are in a recession, and I am working on overload.  So wanting a rest... but... things are cyclical, and I am more than grateful for my work and for my wonderful clients.

Massage is very rewarding, but... soooooo tiring... so this leads me to the video I am posting.  This is my challenge.  I am not nurturing the creative side of me... and... as we all know.... this leads to major dissatisfaction.   I have always craved balance between spiritual practice, creative, social and work... If I do not have at least these... life gets so out of balance.  However, lately it has been eat, sleep, work  which leads to an occasional expression of....Oh Lordy... I just don't want to move ha ha....... and so it has been.

However, I am really focused on changing this routine, and getting balance... Finding time sounds like time is hiding behind the mantle, so I prefer to say allowing time - scheduling time - prioritizing time  to do the things that fill my heart. Mind you, I am not complaining... in fact I am thrilled that my work is flowing so well, and how happy I am in that area... but... big sigh... There is the art, the beading, the cooking, the yoga, the sewing, all tugging at my heart.  I stiffly struggled with my first day back at Yoga today!!! and how many times have I said... I should never never ever stop this practice... and... life becomes overwhelmingly busy and I do.

 Luckily I live in a place that is filled with the beauty of nature, and have wonderful animals and birds around me... and my place of work also is in a place of extraordinary natural beauty, so that uplifts my spirit.  

Travel also is tugging at my heart.  So many places.. to discover and enjoy... so... plans for next year include a couple of my favorite places to be revisited to revive my spirit and soul longings. 

After that long introduction - below is the video.  I think we owe it to ourselves to cherish and nourish our creative selves.  To allow our creativity to grow and to share the beauty of our talents.
