"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.”
H.P. Lovecraft
Some of my most productive and enriching experiences and periods of growth began with a desire, a deep breath, and forging ahead into unknown territory. All is well.
Have a great week and a happy Halloween!

"The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me."
Ayn Rand
I'm in a "go get 'em" mood today. I am ticking things off of my list, and will be working on updating my website.
Hope your week is productive!

Today I got up 45 minutes earlier than planned but got the Saturday walk and a couple of errands out of the way by 11 a.m.—which was awesome. All afternoon I perused Facebook, sent these photos to my computer, did my Saturday chores, and watched MST3K on YouTube. I am trying to rest this weekend and not do “work” work.
I need time to think quietly and make decisions on the next chapter of my life. I haven’t been well this year, and stress has played a large part. Perhaps, hopefully, the ousting of the current disturbingly corrupt administration will ease some of it. But there are other elements and signs in my life that are pushing me toward change, to make changes before it’s too late. I’ve been too easily distracted by the outside to face what is within. Time to reckon.
These photos are my little nature still lifes 2020 edition. I remember starting these in Cannon Beach, where fall leaves blown onto the sand mingled with kelp, pieces of shell, little twigs, and other ocean discards. I suppose I’m drawn to the colors, but the groupings remind me, somehow, of abstract paintings. Fall leaves are so beautiful anyway whether subtle or bright.
Enjoy this weekend, this season, the leaves.

"Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything."
George Bernard Shaw
Change is in the air. Take one step at a time; keep learning; open your mind; breathe the autumn air.

"You have permission to rest. You are not responsible for fixing everything that is broken. You do not have to try to make everyone happy. For now, take time for you. It's time to replenish."
Anonymous
It's been a stressful year, and there is much that is broken. I find myself retreating to stop the pain, to focus on the next steps, to recharge faith, to heal.
This week, take in the fresh air. Fall is coming.

Even taking a baby step is moving forward. Dust off, look at the lesson, and put one foot in front of the other.

"Start small, think big. Don't worry about too many things at once. Take a handful of simple things to begin with, and then progress to more complex ones. Think about not just tomorrow but the future. Put a ding in the universe."

What’s on the agenda for this week? For this month?
Have a great one!

We know life in general has changed. Here is an opportunity to look at the future in general and create what we would like to see/be/do. It’s a new week, and lives are “reopening.” Why wait ?
Have an exciting week!

“Every success story is a tale of constant adaptation, revision, and change."

In a short three months our world has changed. Over the course of the next nine months, success will mean being flexible and open to possibilities that you haven't even thought of yet.
Have a fabulous week.

"...And we laugh, and the boat rocks and the ripples spread from the boat to pond to sea to sky and nothing can stop them, and nothing ever will."
From "Joan of Arcadia"
I loved this TV show, and this scene in particular had a huge effect on me.
What we do has a ripple effect whether we see it or not. Make sure you are spreading good ripples. Stay well, be safe.

"Tell yourself as you inhale that you're breathing in life and strength and glorious possibilities. When you exhale, know that you're expelling the mental pressures, aggravations, and limitations that may have held you back."
Victoria Moran
There is only so much that we can control. Take time to release and recharge.
I’ve been re-reading “Creating a Charmed Life” by Victoria Moran and finishing “Big Magic” by Elizabeth Gilbert. Time to focus on creating again. This break from the daily stresses is a gift in its own way. Just breathe.
Be well and safe.

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
Martin Luther King, Jr.
This morning I read about people lining up to purchase guns because of the impending COVID19 outbreak. I have to shake my head in sadness.
Be patient. Be kind. Be safe. Please.
