I want Sparseness in my Life

I promise you that I have been very energetic

these past couple of weeks. I have been

so diligent at clearing out. I think they actually quit

taking donations at one of the smaller....more

quaint re-sale shops here in town because

I was taking in too much. The sign on the door

said 'No more donations until further notice!'

YIKES!

So I switched and started taking in more

to the Goodwill.

This is the kind of chaos that we have been

living in the last couple of weeks.

On one hand it feels great. On the other

hand it feels chaotic. It is really hard

to relax when you know you have such a mess

under foot. Which makes me start thinking about

my goals for 2011. Do you realize that by

achieving some of your goals you have to break

some of your goals? Like for example....at the top

of my goals....and remember they weren't in any

particular order.....but let's face it they kind of are.

'Enter studio and create daily.'

It is really hard to do that when your studio is torn

up because you are re-organizing. But I am committed

to believing that you have to work all your goals.

So.....that is why I have been just adding little blurbs

into my blog.

....and the really funny thing about all this

donating and clearing out....

each time I pull into the local Goodwill

it about kills me not to go in. I want to

go in and shop. I am staying committed and focused

until I achieve the sparseness that I want. Then....and

only then will I feel that I have achieved my goal.

I hope that YOU are able to have an artfully

creative day....because I am going to have another

day of weeding out.

P.S. More dates with Jeff is last on my 2011 list of goals.

He certainly is not last on the list. So Jeff, if you

are reading this post....I love you honey!!!
