Having boundaries is an act of shifting your habits. The next time you become upset when someone dishonors your boundary, consider how challenging it is to discipline yourself always to uphold your boundaries.

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free. Jim Morrison

Week 15/52 was about facing fears, resolution and pushing through with joy and love (and the treasured support of conversations with friends). ♥
Having a sense of structure in place makes “it is easier to thrive and flourish” (Julia Cameron). My creative structure (sequences and task lists + compiling these weekly summaries of what I am reading and observing) serves me as both a balm and compass.
May you know that absence is alive with hidden presence, that nothing is ever lost or forgotten.

Week 15/52 In-Review
Week 15/52 was a significant week of progression and resolution — with the special bonus of a new moon and solar eclipse! 😊 With multiple appointments, taxes filed 🎉 (along with the implementation of a new bookkeeping system), home renovations started, garden clearings and plantings and resuming a home purge and decluttering project.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

The days of this week have felt spacious, empowering and deeply healing.
It’s time to get more clear about what you’re no longer willing to do or participate in when it comes the relationships you have in your life.

Art is our one true global language….It speaks to our need to reveal, heal, and transform. It transcends our ordinary lives and lets us imagine what is possible.

“By working backward, planning backward, I was able to kind of connect the dots and see how what I did or didn’t do now impacted my ability to deliver a finished book…” –Jessica McCabe
🌈”You are the whole damn sky” (Kate Bowler) 🎥 The Life of a Poet: Mary Ruefle 🎶 Both Sides Now 📜🖋 Kindness, by Naomi Shihab Nye (recited by Emma Thompson) 🎥 Lee Krasner: In Her Own Words 🎥 comedian elyse myers! | couple things 🎥 “strength comes from our openness” (Andrea Gibson) 🦄 Are you afraid of quitting? 🎥 Deepening in Commitment 🍽️ The River Cafe (which I learned about via this podcast) 🌟 Faith Ringgold (more about her & her work) 🍀 “your story has a lot of chapters” (Kate Bowler) 🎧 The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse 🐲 “Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are only princesses waiting…” (Rilke)
I don’t think you can create art out of anger; it has to come out of some form of understanding. You have to feel good about who you are and that you could do something to change things.

These weekly reviews are the ongoing backstory that empowers me to process what I am curious about, and how I live + chronicle what matters most to me.
This compilation allows me to document, discern and ponder my living along with the ebb and flow of certainty, uncertainty and random details mingled with the details and challenges of daily minutia and my story-unfolding. ♥
Thank you kindly for your presence here, Braveheart.
I appreciate your interest and support.
