Breathe. Balance. Honor Your Light.


My art journal concepts do not come as easily to me as they used to lately. One reason, I figure is  I don’t make art everyday like I used to. Making art was routine for me about a year ago. I came home after work, spent time with my little people, then I pulled out all of my crafty stuff and either busted out scrapbook pages or I worked in my art journal. It was my way of destressing.

This particular page sums up what I strive for daily. Remembering to breathe, stay balanced and honor my light. It is so easy to get distracted and forget to live authentically.  Hell, forget to live, period. We sweat the small stuff too much. We wait for things to be perfect before we give ourselves permission to just be. And, while we are doing all that waiting, life is doing its thing; living around us.

So, daily, I rise, pray and work towards balance and a more authentic me. I have no intention of waking up and wondering where my life went while I waited for the perfect moment to do whatever. There is no perfect time like the present to be in moment. This moment right now is all that really matters anyway.

So tell me, what you are doing to breathe, balance and honor your light?

I honor my light and my life by making each day the best I can. Living in the moment and not worrying about the past or the future is the best way for me to remain balanced. I have taken on a lot in my life as of late and I am trying to achieve what I have bitten off for myself one day at a time, one hour at a time. I am not a creative person, so I have deep respect for those (like yourself) who are. These pages are stunning. I have another person I peek in on at (http://blog.unfoldingyourlifevision.com/) and admire – it is such an wonderful skill to be able to reflect your inner self in such a beautiful way,
