Celebrating Life
Hello and Goodmorning
This is the beginning of my journey to a new chapter in my self discovery and recovery of my creative self.
It is a time to look at what excites me and inspires me. I will be using the guidlines as outlined in Julia Cameron’s book the Artist’s Way. I would like to thank Denise, my sister again for lending me this book many years ago, and to my mother , Ruth who inspires me through our life journey together.
My first contract to myself on this journey was June 27 2008. I think I might have gotten past the first chapter and exercise, “the morning pages” and perhaps somewhat the “Artist’s date”.
I can honestly say I have been faithful in writing my morning pages since that date and they have been a tremendous aid on my life journey.
I highly recommend journaling your thoughts first thing in the morning daily to everyone who is willing.
I found at that time in 2008 , that for me the rest of the chapters and lessons where daunting…….. and even overwhelming to consider tackling.
I am now in a better place and taking this time to revisit this exercise.
Every year since I have turned 50 (2004) I have written an intention on a more spiritual level.
In 2007 at age 53 I found a new beginning in marriage, another chapter and transition in my life, that I am so grateful for.
In 2008 it was the beginning of my healing path I time I made a conscious decision to value myself, my marriage and my family
before all else.
My number one priority is to have the best and open relationship with my husband, Mike and to be true
to myself.
Then in 2009 was the year of intention ” to let go of all my toxins both physical and emotional”.
It was a turbulent time with my health. It is a time when I realized that I must take full charge of managing my own health using the concepts of
mindfulness or meditation along with yoga and recreational physical activities for both my body and soul.
My focus was to regain my energy and vitality with all the tools I have been given.
It is now in 2010 and 2011, my intention for my 56 year will be to” discover and recover my creative self.”
It will be my pleasure to take advantage of each moment that I can this year to discover creativity in all forms .
It is my intention that I can share my adventures in a positive and healing way.
What better place than here in Winnipeg!
Winnipeg from the first day I got here March 3 2010 seemed to speak to me with excitement and renewal to a path of better health and well being.
A time of change.
I am curious to see the outcome of this process of self discovery and self discipline with excellent self-care, diet, exercise and pampering for myself and my dear husband Mike for the duration of this course which will be October 2011.
It will be intention to use this knowledge and to share it with my husband and my family as it will become available, to both myself and to them on their own life path.
It will be a gift to myself and my family friends.
With loving kindness and passion
Love Visma
