Saturdays are home improvement work days. Mark rebuilt the wall for my cast iron cookware, moved another wall into alignment. All I could assist with was chalk lines and holding things. In between that I made journals. Perfectly imperfect journals.

Spring arrived. Mostly with sun and warm temperatures which was amazing. Crocus, daffodils, poppies all emerging in different stages. Trees exploding with buds. Bottoms of my feet itching, which I always equate with wanderlust. I started seedlings for a salad garden. Our kitchen remodel we've talked and dreamed about suddenly became real. Vacation plans rearranged. A random text opening avenues for me. After a long period of quiet, now movement. The stove propelled us into motion when it died. It was electric, we wanted gas. Mark had to run a pipe for gas. He was careful , working around cabinets, mindful of drywall. As I watched it became apparent that taking out cabinets and drywall made things easier. Easier became a code word of sorts. It wasn't our plan for a kitchen renovation this year but everything started falling into place. Small at first, then morphing into much bigger. The entire kitchen has been stripped down to the initial build of nearly 70 yrs ago. Wall moved, another removed and rebuilt, two cut back and straightened. Cheap flooring stripped with a steamer so the floor can be leveled. Step by step things are moving quickly. All of our new components sitting ready for installation. I like that we are doing it ourselves. There is a certain satisfaction in that. But sometimes?.... I just want to ask for help.
I ran across a video of Caroline Myss speaking a decade ago which led me to read a couple of her books. I think she is a great teacher on spiritual matters. Though I'm not a fan of Oprah I did enjoy this video. From sitting in prayer and meditation with questions it turned into going silent and listening. I heard nothing except a deep enveloping silence that felt peaceful. I didn't feel like I came away with answers or a direction to take but again I felt peaceful. A few days later this book came to my attention. In a way that I knew it was my next learning/teachable moment. I ordered it and surprising to me, it arrived early the next day confirming it was my guide for the next little bit.
I mean I will probably spend it all in one place but.......All the years of entering Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes I won. $10.00.
It was fun to watch the snow fall last night. Flakes were huge and falling furiously. Now I am ready to move on to Spring!
I think about things. Sometimes they take days of my attention and others are fleeting. I've come to realize that moments make up your days. Which led me to think about this blog.
Last year I decided to try going bigger. I upgraded my site, purchased a domain name thinking I could sell my balm, oils, and hand sewn journals in one place online. It seemed like a good idea but the few hundred dollars I spent did not help in advancing my small business nor get much traffic. I let it expire. Maybe there will come the day and time that what I have to share/offer will thrive online,. I'll hire an experienced website designer and rebrand if this comes to pass. Meanwhile, I'm good. I have a product that has an abundance of health and healing benefits. I will continue to provide it to my small circle of clients. |
