the view from within...

this is the view i am lucky enough to enjoy many of these summer days...there are so many breathtaking views to witness around me...but as i breath and sit still with this view, i realize that it is the view within which helps to calm and soothe in such a real and big way... so as i focus on this view within...as i look at how i react, teach, love, embrace, learn, work, let go, let in, practice bravery, relax and stay focused. my goal is to enjoy and be at peace with whatever that view might be.

how is the view from where you are?

hippie holidays...


So, in light of the way things are going lately around these parts...well, that would be that this Lily is completely unprepared for the holidays and not done too much of any shopping per say.
After quietly making a decision over 3 weeks ago to 'let go', things have been coming to a slow halt...there were Etsy orders to get out, children to cook, tend and care for, a husband who needs a bit of tending to himself (well, his biz that iz) and just overall personal & home maintenance.
I went and had hairs done today and what a delightful getaway it was, I love my hairdoer and all her wonder, and just get swept away in my time in the chair and all the talk, not at all about hair (did not mean for that to rhyme).
So, I left refreshed and now realize that with just a little more than a week to go, I better get to gettin' goin'.
It was hippie day today so here you have it, so cool.
That is all for now, hit the yarn store today and have big plans in mind for the lucky balls of wonder that made it home with me. Get ready for a scarfy present. Oh, and must get working on salt scrub christmas presents, will post recipe soon.


Ta ta for now.

Still Lily

The Ebb & Flow of Letting Go...

Sometimes you just have to let go.
Lately, there seems to be various pieces of me and issues in life, that I find must be released (for overall well being and peace of mind) while softly saying 'Goodbye'.
Overcoming fears has been on the top of the list recently.
In addition, seeing what is real in relationships and those that surround me and taking stock in what each piece in question means...whether it be as a friend, mother, wife or artist....
I realize that learning to let go is a journey for which I am constantly discovering new territory.
Letting go of my fears about exposing my art has opened doors and brought me such confidence to move forward. Good going on that one.

Letting go of small things with little lovelies
(speaking on children of course, or whomever your little lovely might happen to be)
can make one's day most wonderful.
We must, after all, pick our battles wisely.
Superbly done on that end.
Letting go of relationships/people, that is a new one for me...and I will leave it at that.
So far so good.
So, here is to holding strong and knowing the time to let go when life calls us to do so.
