Splendeur Caisse

Any kind of growth feels awkward and uncomfortable. I've had to change my shit around and make sure I get the meditation, exercise, gratitude in, so that I feel grounded. Once you get to the other side of that growth stuff just feels better. I'm not totally on the other side of it but I'm going with the flow. This wasn't always the case something just finally clicked.

Yes... I totally feel like my freedom is an urgent matter right now. xo Alicia

January was a hard month for me. I was so sure that with the beginning of a new year shit would just automatically reset and be great. Not the case. I'm looking forward to February and putting all the bullshit behind. I'm concentrating on putting my art together to share with the universe. xo Alicia

What a week! I'm still trying to get back into the swing of things. I thought my two week break would bring me back refreshed and it did. I'm just wading through some procrastination issues. The passing of David Bowie has me wading through sadness at the moment. It's odd how someone who I did not actually know has affected me. xo Alicia

Where did all the time go? It was nice to take a mini break from the blog. I just feel like it's taking me longer to get back into the swing of things. I still haven't finished up my a journal pages from the end of the year. Lucky there was some purging that took place during my break. And it's still happening just slowly and in mini sessions. I'll take it as long as things are cycling out. xo Alicia

December is already half way through! I was asking the Universe to slow things down a bit, as I can savor these Holidays. I've decided that after this week's posts I'm taking the next two weeks off from blogging. I'm taking that time to rest, reboot, and get re-inspired. xo Alicia

Creating. These art journal pages are my magic. Some days they are plain, other days colorful and vibrant. No matter what is going on in my life when I sit down to begin working on any of these pages, I feel magical . Just like when I'm preparing a meal each ingredient that I add to my cauldron adds to the creation and I feel all warm and fuzzy. xo Alicia

A new month really.  It's December! I'm trying to slow down these last days of the year, so I can enjoy the holiday season as much as possible. I'm gonna do my best to steer clear of all negative people. I don't have time for that. xo Alicia

And it's telling me it needs some change. What change? I'm not entirely sure. But that might not be the point. Maybe it's an early warning sign that change is coming. I'm ready for it. xo Alicia

November is half way done. And it's been a blur for me really. I'm staying positive in light of recent events going around in the world. Lots of praying and meditation. Working on/in my art journals distracts my mind a little, so therapeutic. Now I'm planning my shopping trip for Thanksgiving dinner. xo Alicia

I'm participating in NaNoJouMo with Dawn DeVries Sokol . And a Journailing Challenge and then Mandala Magic again later this month. This is my fun at the moment xo Alicia
