SOUL MENDING
Okay no more apologies...yes its been awhile...which is why I am taking inventory...no more excuses. (I wonder how many times one says that before the work begins). I realized in reading my old posts I have been well aware of the need to downgrade my life's distractions. And in the ensuing years I have discovered that a minimalist approach is not only necessary but freeing. A blogger named Joshua Becker with a God centered approach got me started and...Lisa Avellan of No Side Bar (somewhat appropriate considering my career) really brought the message home. I am calling this my soul mending. I retire in 31 days so there is no time like the present..in recapping Lisa A. in her take on What to do when you don't fee like yourself anymore..to reclaim the "girl" inside me I am finding areas in my life to simplify...first eliminating clutter (and not replacing it), real life budgeting of my time, lifestyle choices, relationships and $$, recognizing in truth that always being busy is really an excuse to avoid self examination and positive change...busy results in anxious. Eliminating the physical and mind barriers will lead to time for a quiet introspection on what is in my heart ..time to slow down and see what passions, what joy making has been buried for far too long. What were my dreams before I got bogged down by self doubt, the sad in life, and nay sayers. Once I begin to see the possibilities I know I will begin to take baby steps to again find who I am now in this season of life. This will take time...that's okay...no more rushing..deep breaths, now exhale.
