The Universe Never Gives Us a Straight Path In Life....

Another Christmas is over and a new year is just around the corner. I am not one to make New Years Resolutions as they never seem to work. Though this year I have sat down and have written my goal list for 2017 with dates to reach my goals.  While I am sitting quietly and reading a beautiful book called "A Woman's Shed" by Gill Heriz, I feel my innerself being stirred up to think back to when I would sit and paint for hours on end, and only feel like I had been painting for just minutes. Times when I would sit and do stitcheries for quilt tops and cushions. The feel for maybe getting back to these is coming fore front to my mind. The inner creative is seeing what I have left behind when I felt like I had failed something.

So much has happened over the past 12 months. With foot surgery and not being able to run ever again, to thinking about selling my second bike. Then hubby loosing his job for an extended period of time and the financial stresses alone was hard to deal with. Saying good-bye to our beautiful 13 1/2 year old Golden Retreiver to cancer, and saying hello to a beautiful 2 year old German Shepherd in such a short period of time. I have come to feel settled a bit more. My writing of my first novel is going well, even with a bit of a break, as work was busy and time has been exceptionally limited.

With the beginning of 2017 just days away, it is time to make my own space, my own creative space and turn a crappy 2016 into an awesome 2017. I want 2017 to be a year of creativity in many areas, writing, painting, producing my own range of journals. Its time to come home to the inner creative.

Take time before Jaunary 1, 2017 to see where you wish the coming year to take you, or where you want to go.

Have a great end to 2016 and I hope 2017 brings you all you wish and dream of.
