Braveheart, in so many different ways I am learning to live without everything I expected for this time in my life. It started as a necessity — but it has become my path to enchantment.
We have to fight for our ability to pay attention — it is not given.

This became my path to enchantment because I practiced giving my attention to my well-being — and right brain planning the details along that path (as I fostered relationships).
Right brain planning is to envision [and live] your life as art [expression or application of human creative skill and imagination]. ♥
My imaginary worlds were my refuge during the most heartbreaking 💔 years of my life. These spaces created and facilitated by my right brain planning practice (considering my life to my art).
Those years (decades ago) proved to be the training ground I need now for my retirement years. Those years are the foundation on which I build my “imaginary” (and tangible) play stations — space where I foster my life as my art.
Life as Art: repeated expression and application of self-compassion, a skill set and imagination.
It is an ongoing and evolving process — in spite of the limits and detours we encounter — and defined by our micro-choices onward.
Identifying our desires and challenges via creative chronicles sustains us — as well as consoles us, and fosters our ongoingness and capacity.
All of this is a process that requires self-compassion, a series of choices — and ongoing support.
Support manifests in various ways — one-to-one friendships, professional counseling, like-minded groups (online and in real-life) and (sometimes) via threaded comments on social media. ♥
As I mentioned, I am learning to live without everything I expected for this time in my life. It started as a necessity — but it has become my path to enchantment — along with some amazing relationships. ♥
Our sense of enchantment is not only sparked by grand things. The awe-inspiring, the numinous, is all around us, all the time. It is transformed by our deliberate attention. The magic is of our own conjuring.

To be enchanted [in awe and wonder] requires the courage to commit to engagement.
- Engagement is intention — a promise we make to ourselves (and/or another person) to be present, to be or do what we say we will.
- Engagement requires action on our part — it requires our attention and participation.
