There has been quite a bit of growth going on over here. All month especially with the The Art Journaler's theme this month of " Inviting Growth ." I made it a point to write out the questions/prompts that were given, in my written journal. That helped me see the parts from the past that I was still hanging on to. And that made it easier to  release these obstacles. Gearing up for November. xo Alicia

I'm still fighting through the want of doing nothing. Exercise has become a struggle. I'm still doing it but my body feels so fatigued after. I'm still moving through. I finally purged two boxes of unused clothes. Next things that are just laying around. Forgotten supplies for crafts I no longer practice. Maybe some paper too. I kinda drowning in it. Actually this means journals need to be made. xo Alicia

Well, last week I had no words to share. I'm slowly coming out the holding pattern I was in. I've de-cluttered here and there and purged a box. That felt good. There is another box to be purged I just need to pull it out from the shelf it's been sitting on. Slowly but surely things are moving along. I dusted off the crochet hooks and finished a project that had been sitting around for almost a year. Finished another project in four days, it was my best friends birthday. And we visited the Rise of the Jack O'Lanterns at Descanso Gardens and had a great time. It was a lovely ending to a brutal week. xo Alicia
