oh, yeah… supposed to be doing something here

I haven’t felt terribly inspired to blog lately. Life has been rather full of ups and downs. Lack of sleep from late pregnancy discomforts, combined with other challenges, has left me feeling a bit down and out. I’ve been finding it very difficult to hang on to my artful living convictions, despite my best efforts.

I would imagine that this is all part of the Challenge. Any time that you try to make big internal (or external) shifts, challenges are presented. Is this what you really want? Are you sure? What are you willing to do, or go through, to make it happen? I’m quite sure this is where I am at right now. Constantly trying to pull myself back to the goal, to refocus my efforts.

The funny thing is, even with all of my internal struggles, I have been receiving a continuous stream of encouragement and support from the Universe. After many years away from photography, I was recently gifted with a new camera. My family and friends have been so supportive of my desire to become a potter. Even my fears of not having everything ready for the soon-to-be-here baby have been assuaged by much-appreciated gifts from dear ones. It’s these things I must cling to when I find myself battered by the storms of change.

I must remind myself that we are always given what we need… I just need to trust.

Life is good. All of it.
