Moving forward

A few months back, I renamed this blog, "Sacred Space" because I discovered the powerful force of creativity, namely gardening, in my life. I felt that my blog, along with gardening and a newly emerging creative life, were giving me back a life that I had forgotten I had.

Since that time, enormous changes have taken place. Yes, many have been life changes, including my kids leaving home. However, there is something about setting an idea "out there" and watching what the divine spirits do with a small, wobbly step of faith.

That simple renaming has given birth to a new life for me in so many ways. I am now the owner of a design studio where I can work amidst creative people all day, creating and thinking and then doing it again. Writing continues to be a huge part of my life, in fact, you can begin reading my monthly column at my new site where I will write on creating nurturing interior and exterior spaces. The first installment of a workshop was this past week and you can see a photo essay of that concept which will grow and change into other experiences.

I have also been journaling and writing on a book which sets the pathway for positive change and how to do it without say, losing every ounce of your mind. I first had the idea when working with volunteer opportunities and asked the question, "how do we change and why is it so hard?". Questions like that never lead to easy, neat answers and voila - I was initiated in my own life changing Q & A.

This all to say, though I haven't been writing here in this blog, I have been furiously writing and creating in other areas. And I'm wondering if this blog may have served its purpose -- that is being the ship that sailed me to this point, a new juncture of the journey? Either way, I'll keep it and may revisit it from time to time. So much of the change journey is painful and personal and frankly, these have been better posts for a quiet journal that has a lock and key on it. Maybe with a little editing they can emerge as helpful and interesting down the road.

To the creative life!
