Lately

I've been so busy working on projects in my backyard that I failed to post a Lately last weekend. We've had so much rain this holiday weekend that I was unable to work in the yard which gave me time to catch-up on some posts and some artsy endeavors. Here are a few pics during the torrential storms:

Have a great week!

What am I looking for in a soul mate?

This is a recent entry in my vision journal (from Feast Retreat) where I decided to get clear on what I'm looking for in a soul mate:

He should be spiritual and kind, love animals, and be understand and accepting of my relationship with my son. He should be compassionate and empathetic to the feelings of others. He should love to travel but not be worldly, as in not ruled by money but works hard for what he has. He should be respectful of the smorgasbord of cultures, ethnics, and religions of those around us. He should have strong values while not pushing his core beliefs on others. He should be open to adventure and new experiences yet also not haphazard in his choices. He should be nice looking, confident, and intelligent but not arrogant, superior, or conceited. He should look nice but be unaware of his looks. He should be passionate, romantic, monogamous, and devoted to his woman. He should not be a heavy drinker or addicted to drugs. He should have an appreciation of the arts and enjoy art shows, theater, and movies. He should be thoughtful and sensitive without being overly sensitive. He should enjoy the outdoors, hiking, and camping. He should also be able to enjoy time at home relaxing and enjoying each other's company. He should have a few close friends but not need to be the center of attention, always with a crowd, and not be a partyer although he should like to have a few couples over for dinner or a BBQ. He should be sweet, loving, and gentle.

- Loving
- Kind
- Romantic
- Respectful
- Sincere
- Trustworthy
- Devoted
- Compassionate

I used images of Raj from The Big Bang Theory because he's my current T.V. crush. :-D

Find Your Balance

Lately this theme keeps showing up. Balance. Emerging from the numerous words printed on the pages of vision work sources. I've heard many people dismiss balance and declare it as nonexistent but I'm not so sure that this is true.

I believe that balance is difficult to obtain and maintain but I do think it's possible. I also believe it must be reevaluated often and the metaphorical sails readjusted periodically. Reaching a balanced life will require noticing what is and isn't working and tossing out the items that are no longer serving me. I have to access my top priorities and release the less important.

What is important to me?

What do I value the most in my life?

Sometimes these items have to be scheduled so that a commitment can be made. Letting go of the excess will give way to a sense of freedom. A spring cleaning, if you will. Out with the old and in with that which brings me peace.

Hugs,
