Revamp. And Re-create- YOU

The creative butterfly is all brand new, and is one of the reasons I have a feeling I am going back to writing.

Not the way it was but the way it can be. A break is a break, and I've had a great one.

I'll be returning soon with ideas on revamping a life that is losing momentum and a few ideas as to how you can inspire yourself and re-create the life you want to lead. It's a lot of fear, but a lot of joy. I'm out of my comfort zone for the first time in a long time, and I am excited.

The blog isn't being revamped, I am. I believe a life can be recreated and reborn. Not as easy as it can seem to be but it is a powerful process. You learn to be you. The person I am meant to be is being created. The person I was is being revamped.

The way I see myself and how I am more creative or less, is part of the revamp process, and to hell with being just an everyday thing, the creative person in me is scared and the person I can become is fearful, but it is a journey I am happy to be on.

To the journey.

First, Forgive

First, Forgive I've made mistakes. I've done things which probably should be done. I've ranted, I've raved, I've pushed too hard, or too little. I've grown, I've fallen back, I've stopped, and started. I can't be human without making mistakes, and I can't be me without my hangups and challenges. Or can I be more than the sum of my broken parts? Can I be the one who can take where I am right now and grow from there? Is there a way I can change who I am, my past and my future? This is where I have my hangup, I understand in words at least that my past is my past and my future is not yet determined, but I am unable to remain in the present. Because I am creative, or because I can't stay in the present moment, I have a choice. In this stage of my life I've learned that my choices have always been there, but the element I was missing was forgiveness. For myself, from myself. Forgiveness is a powerful weapon. You can tell s...

Planning The Way You Need To

I'm not the best person when it comes to planning anything. I tend to have a million ideas, and plans at the go at once. Focused? No, not really. I'm rather selfish when it comes to making plans and keeping them. I mean really who loves to have a plan broken? I'm sad to say, my method of planning doesn't work. It's not that it's not focused, but rather that because all of them are focused, I can't stick to one. Planning is something you need to do... but I write down the plans, and then rewrite them. I think of colour coded things, and of doing the plans, and of maybe tweaking the ones I have at the moment. I write them down, I put up the dates, the plans, the hours of work. Then NOTHING. It's true, I do have plans, but it's not the way I need to plan them. The trouble is that I get past the thinking part and get into the planning part. The writing down, the work of putting it from an idea to an action. The c...

Create to Help and Heal

What is the best thing about being a bit more creative? It helps me and it helps others. Part of what makes a person want to be creative is that they want something that isn't in their heads all the time. I can come up with hundreds of ideas, but if I want to focus on what works, and what doesn't I'll need to get something out. I'm saying do not write down goals. At least not yet. Don't misunderstand me, writing down goals are very important, but the problem is that, for someone like myself, I'll have some fairly lofty and insane goals. The ones where I'm setting myself up for failure and not even thinking about what I can do to get there. Take my writing goals for instance, I'd love to sit back, enjoy some tea and write. The only problem is that I tend to say "hey I'll write 2,000 words today." Sure. Okay. Yup. So what sort of poor excuse am I going to give myself when I don't write 2,000 words TODAY? I know I can...
