Reverb10 - December 1 One Word.
Sparks
This year has been a series of unexpected gifts. I've resisted many of them. I've wasted days and dragged my feet through some of the weeks. Now having turned my calendar to its final page, I feel a sense of gratitude for this year washing over me. Sitting with this sensation, I realize that things are changing within me. I am on the verge. On the verge of better understanding my mind, my body and my purpose. Of believing in myself as an artist, a friend and someone with things to offer this world.
Many things have sparked within me.
I finally parted ways with some toxic people and found wonderful, inspiring new friends.
I left a job I loved only pieces of to follow my passions along new and winding paths.
Moving into a smaller home, I am unearthing joy in simplifying the spaces around me.
Picking up paint brushes, pens and cameras often, I invited my artist to return.
The laughter of children brought me great happiness and I'm learning to trust this.
Next year, I will make these sparks
Fly.
