I feel as if life is just that these days - this amazing sort of jump from one mysterious adventure to another. My curiosity is peaked, my senses are heightened & I feel like I have been bestowed with this awesome takes-the-breath-right-out-from-you-give-me-a-moment-to-take-it-all-in appreciation of all around that surrounds me. Love that.
To reach this state - and mind you, it isn't always a high, happy place .. it takes a daily committment .. that whole allowing myself to be vulnerable thing. Giving myself permission to feel, to experiment, to trust and to fully immerse myself in whatever it is that is capturing me at the moment -- I am willing to open my heart to the possibilities that await me. How grand life is, when seen as an adventure. Autumn always seems to beckon me into that glorious mindset... exhilarating.
That new piece shown above, is a product of my renewed willingness to stretch myself, and dabble outside of my 'normal' -- whatever that is.... and ya know what? I love it, I actually love it! I don't often hang my own work around me, but that piece? It will adorn one of my walls sometime soon.. perhaps, you will consider allowing it to adorn yours as well. (shameless, i know..)
What do you think of it? What emotions does it evoke within you? What have you been courageous in lately?
Warmly, Chrysti
