New York…
October 22nd, 2011…..a year overdue!
yes it’s true, this post is a year overdue! we would like to say it’s anything BUT procrastination that has resulted in us taking our “sweet time” to post these videos, but that would be a lie. we have seen the ugly head of procrastination “reared” and we are not happy about it!
now that the confession is out of the way let’s move on shall we…
here are some delightfully random videos from our trip to New York and the Caribbean last October. so if you are looking for a welcomed distraction, or perhaps just a little fix of random, feel free to check em out!
enjoy.
A Random Week-end
August 12th, 2011
It has been
a random week
change will do you good…..
May 3rd, 2011
change.
one word, yet so much is said when using this word. i love words, i love the meaning behind words. i love that just one word or a few strung together can say SO much. now, finding the right word(s) in the right moment, that can be challenging.
there’s a movie that i now can’t think what it is, but i remember the character wanting to say something SO badly to another character in the moment but that they always chickened out, they couldn’t do it. until finally an instance occurs when they were able to say what they meant, not even moment’s later though, regretted it. (if you know the movie I’m talking about TELL me it’s bugging me now…..)
our words have power, they hold meaning. it’s important to say what you mean and mean what you say because we are and will be held accountable to those words. i love when a friend or loved one holds me to what i say, it’s confronting and sometimes very hard, but it’s true, it’s honest, it’s honoring.
change is the word on my heart, in my head, written all through my journal currently and for some time now i haven’t understood why. i believe I’m beginning to understand now and it’s a little scary. both stephen and i feel and know that there is change on the horizon for us, and with that can come fear, but we are trusting that god will lead us and show us the next step.
exciting really, isn’t it?
new favorite word….
April 25th, 2011
wonderblime.
i of course can NOT take credit for this word and i’m sure it’s probably been said or used many times before, but i came across this word today while reading my favorite magazine of all time, no questions asked…..
frankie.
this magazine comes from the very dear to my heart, 2nd home land, australia. this is one of the things hands down, on my MOST MISSED from aus list. my darling sister in law, Dianne Walker did the sweetest thing. she subscribed to frankie in australia for me as a christmas gift, (because it’s way cheaper there than to have it sent here) and sends it to me every two months! what a dolly!
anyway, check it out at www.frankie.com.au if you haven’t already you will not be disappointed!
the war of art…
April 15th, 2011not sure if it’s just because spring has arrived and with it a new & fresh perspective, or if it’s because something really is stirring and it’s bigger, greater than us therefore leaving me with this unavoidable (not that i want to avoid it) feeling that the possibilities really are endless.
let’s roll with it.
this is a very welcomed feeling for me. i’m sure anyone would be able to put two and two together if you happened to stop by our website since the beginning of this year, it’s lacking, there’s not much going on, or so it would seem. but to be completely honest there most certainly is something going on, it’s just not been “expressible” for me. sure at times over the past few months there have been moments of “expression”, just ask my patient and faithful husband (i love you stephen), but up until this point i have been internally battling.
there are many reasons for this internal battle, but the one battle i feel i have been losing is that of “creativity”. i have been at war over this aspect of my life, of my personality, and i have been losing. i hadn’t realized just HOW much i was losing this battle until i came across a little book called “the war of art” by steven pressfield. i didn’t even want to read it at first, but this little 160 page book managed to stir up so many things within me that i have been feeling on the verge of bursting! the best part was how practically he explains some things. i am being a bit vague i realize, but it has been quite a while since i last wrote this openly so bear with me.
one of my favorite things he says in regards to writing was this….”There’s a secret that real writers know that wanna be writers don’t, and the secret is this: It’s not the writing part that’s hard. What’s hard is sitting down to write. What keeps us from sitting down, is resistance”. And then of course he has a whole chapter on resistance.
so to all of you out there who can relate to this “war” within, sure, check out his book if you like it helped me a lot, but mostly be encouraged. You are not alone in this struggle, there are many of us who can relate.
“Creative work is…a gift to the world and every being in it. Don’t cheat us of your contribution. Give us what you’ve got!” – Steven Pressfield
