There are so many times in life we are given a choice. What will you make out of your despair, your hardships or even lost love. I often talk about my humble beginings & what made me decide to dive into this hobby. I never knew that by looking my demons in the eye I would somewhat conquer a new part of myself. Sometimes we need to hit a place where at the time we might not feel we will ever climb out of it...but thats not to say to forget the feelings. Feelings from our emotions are what lead us, what build us...they give us strength! A while back I was watching an interview on TV. A tv host was interviewing a woman about grief & loss & trauma. She quoted " If you heal the child you will heal the adult" or something like that. It hit a nerve in me. How true that one statement is. We spend our whole lives trying to figure out who we are or what we will become. We spend our time worrying about failure, friendships, gossip, what we should or shouldn't have done, whatnot. All the while our destiny eventually leads us to where we were meant to be. I mean if you believe in that stuff, which I most certainly do. Frosting the tops of soaps for my spring release had me questioning all the worries I had as an adolesent. Frankly put... it was so damn unnessecary! I'm not quite sure what this life has in store for me, but I do know to heal the innerchild you must
- Learn to forgive your mistakes.
- Don't forget the past, but try to forgive it.
- Less worry means less wrinkles.
- For goodness sakes, do all you can to live & enjoy the moment you are given!
As I sit on my back porch this chilly morning with my breakfast coffee in hand, thinking how I loved to deliver my father breakfast in bed as a child...I feel like destiny has brought me here. To this moment. Where I can continue to grow again day after day. Through a hobby which heals me.
