The Journey ~ Getting Unstuck



The Journey ~ Coffee or Tea???

So it seems I have taken an unscheduled break from blogging my journey to my dream. How does this happen when the beginning was so enthusiastic and bursting the seams with hope?

These two pictures explain a bit...at least to me!

Let me try to explain.

I spotted these mugs at TJ MAXX awhile back. I passed on purchasing one my first time around. One reason being I do not NEED any more mugs. The second reason being I could not decide if I was really a coffee or tea drinker at the very core of who I am. Not that it matters, but it seemed to matter to me,  that day of indecision.

On a trip back, I decided I was a tea drinker and was worthy of a mug that declared that fact. In the cart it went.

Another day I was shopping there weeks later, I spotted the "coffee" mug still sitting on the shelf. Made sense to me that it was there for me since I am also a coffee drink lover and worthy of a mug that declared that as well.

The other day I reached for a mug in the cabinet and realized that side by side, these mugs make up my whole. I am a tea drinker that loves coffee. I am a coffee lover that drinks tea.

See how this has gotten me stuck in my blogging? I was confused as to who I am! How could I write a blog if I did not know who I was writing about?

Now to pull this all together for you...

I have an unscheduled break in blogging because I needed to focus on the whole journey to my dream. I was looking at too many of the little parts (like tea or coffee) when I should have been focusing on the big picture like actually seeing my dream realized.

So I am back on track. I am working at forming the vision in my head to inspire me forward and working on the details that will get me there.

So some days I will be devoted to tea. And some days I will drink nothing but coffee. But each is a part of who I am.

So now I am "unstuck", enthusiastic and full of hope.

Next time we visit I will share with you the name I have for my little company and why it is important and significant to me.

Until then, pull out a mug from YOUR cabinet and see what it reveals about who YOU are!

Pathways

  PATHWAYS AND PONDERINGS I recently came across a quote by Henry David Thoreau on his thoughts on pathways. " As a single footstep will not make a path on earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind." As I pondered this thought, my mind was drawn to why do I like pathways?  They are familiar ways to go, they show that someone has gone before me, they are sure and certain to get you somewhere, the obstacles have been pushed aside and cleared a smooth pathway. I like mom and pop stores, where you know you will see familiar faces. I like stores that are not always changing where things are located. I like to have my name used with a note of recognition when I arrive for an appointment. I like to hear "its so good to see you again". I like the adventure of new things discovered, but I like returning to the familiar.  I like the sense of reading a new book, by a familiar author. I like trying a new dish, at a favorite restaurant.  I like welcoming new

PATHWAYS AND PONDERINGS We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths." ~ Walt Disney These photos are all taken at the site of our yearly beach vacation. Even though I know where each path goes and what awaits me, I am always curious to see what it ahead that particular day or evening.  It may be a sunset after a rainstorm, a beach full of people or a quiet and serene morning in the absence of other humans, it may be a beach full of shells, birds or seaweed. The shoreline may have altered after the evening tides, there may be a sea turtle nest roped off to keep the baby turtles safe or it may be a beach wedding that we can be informal witnesses to.                                                                                                                              In Alice in Wonderland, Alice is often heard exclaiming "Curiouser and Curiouser" (made up word) as she encounters

My Craft Room

I have been enjoying gathering up all my paper crafting supplies and getting them into an environment that says "CREATE". I have been spread out all over the house and garage these past four years and have found it to be disjointed and cumbersome to be creative when I don't have my supplies handy. I have taken my time to evaluate my supplies and see what I do use and what I can live without. It has been an adventure to uncover some long forgotten once favorite tools. It has also been an adventure to find some long forgotten tools that never did the job. Good bye to them! I have also taken the time to read some good magazines and books on organizing craft spaces and have found it helpful to see what others do. I think I have made this space reflect me and am looking forward to spending some good time  there creating. It is also a nice space to share with Jackie, my daughter and paper crafting partner. Let the creating begin!!
