LOA #2  Today is the official start day of my Leave of Absence.  I will be honest I struggle with harnessing my creative energy so it does not run away with me.  This is a quote from Matt Tommey an artist mentor; "The only way to change your behavior and your reality is through changing your mind -- what you see and what you believe...  'renewing your mind.'"  To make it personal I tell myself the only way to change MY behavior and MY reality is through changing MY mind -- what I see and what I believe.

I can control my run away thoughts, or better, harness them to keep my life in balance.  As a mother and grandmother there are people who are important to me.  I need to work at those relationships to keep the relationship healthy.  Run away creativity sometime runs counter to that relationship. I don't have answers for that, but just being aware of it I think is a start.  I look for ways to plan time with them so when I do have a creative surge they are not totally neglected.  That hits on 2 of the 3 areas that I am working on, mind and spirit.  Body not so much, but Yoga in the morning keeps me young for them.

Have a great Day!
