word of the year


I am on a five-week reprieve from waiting tables my loves. Miriam over at Webster says reprieve is to give relief or deliverance to for a time and Google thinks it’s a break from punishment. Both work well in this case, as anyone who has ever waited tables knows this.

This weekend I have big plans to organize my studio and get all my systems in place and ready to greet Monday morning. What happens Monday morning?
 I am back at the art biz full time and it is a fabulous feeling folks. 

As I giddily prepare for the coming weeks of focused creative energy, I think it's important to tell you my word for 2011. It’s balance. I am taking this year on as an opportunity to cultivate more balance in my life. Learning from the intention I carved up 2010 with; I need to balance work and home better. I have a tendency to get on a roll and eat cereal every night, work until the wee hours, get cricks in my necks and let laundry pile up. I have also been know to skip the dog walk and saddle up next to take out. The balance I desire is found in: preparing fresh and vibrant meals while learning my way through a whole foods lifestyle, exercising consistently, stretching daily, breathing deeply, de-cluttering, trying new things, thinking new thoughts, more play, less time wasting distraction, more thanks, more outside, more adventure. Balance I am ready for you, I already praise your name.

  1. Such a good word isn't it! I would probably be better off eating cereal every night but it seems to be my hungriest time of day.
    Best wishes for balancing your art and joy this year.
