True Confessions

I'm going to come right out and admit some of the things blocking me from writing here and elsewhere:

1. I needed a break from myself after shooting and reflecting upon 365 self-portraits.
2. My writing muscles are shrunken, flabby and weak.
3. I'm not sure I have anything valuable to say.

There it is. Now that it's out, maybe I can move beyond these things. For tonight, this is enough to write. Baby steps. Little simple baby steps. Now I'm going to plop down on my rump, rest and play with my toys. :)

I think you have a lot to say Carla. Yours was the first blog I started reading on a regular basis. I came there because something you wrote there spoke to me, sounded familiar, sounded sincere, sounded real. You sounded like a woman on a search for peace and awareness.

I miss your writing and look forward to a triathlon of writing muscle workout whenever you're ready!

I've found myself in sort of the same place lately and have decided it's okay to cocoon once in awhile. I hope I will get back to it, but it's okay if I don't too. For now, I guess I'm figuring out what I'm going to be when my chrysalis breaks open. Take this time for yourself if you need it - you so deserve it!!

Blessings Carla!

What I am finding about saying something on my blog is that there are just so many opinions and blogging and more opinions and things that I feel someone has to shut up and listen for a while....so that's what I have been doing. However, things do come through in the silence and then, I have to share. Maybe that is what you are experiencing too. You will say the things that need to be said. You will share the things that you are moved to share, when it is needed. Thanks, for your faithfulness to the muses that always move you.

Carla, I've always appreciated and admired your honesty and courage in your blog. You speak from the heart (whether you say "I'm sure" or say "I'm not sure") and that touches my heart.

Hugs to you!

Be kind to yourself and what you need right now...and the next right now...and the right now after that...
