It is Saturday, January 29th.
I just got back from a great run through the canyon road right along the backside of our neighborhood. It is a stones throw away from home but when you are on the path, it seems like somewhere else. The hills are truly alive after being burnt two years ago and flooded just four weeks ago. The sun is bright and happy..birds are flying and singing, the mountains seem to be standing firm and even though there are horse "landmines" here and there, the occasional coyote pile of whatever...it is really, really beautiful. As I ran with my headphones blasting, I yelled (probably way to loud for that early in the morning)up to Ben (who was riding his bike way ahead of me)"I wish I had my camera!"
Do not put it past me to take it next time..we all know that I can run and take photos...
I am a dork, I know!
anyways, today is Saturday, January 29th...
one of the BIGGEST days in the INDUSTRY that I "create" in.
The first day of CHA...the Craft & Hobby Association Opening day...and it is, ut um, about 40 minutes north of here in LA...
and...
I am not going.
(insert screeching breaks sound effect)
That is the first time I have told you this and believe me, I have typed it out several times...just never pressed the "publish" button. Do not worry....I am NOT leaving the creative world...just taking a break from that extreme part of it because I am CLOSED FOR RESTORATION!
I know me and I know that Tsunami RUSH that hits me as I step onto the show floor...it is big, strong, overwhleming and over-stimulating and I am so at a place RIGHT NOW of being focused on restoring, cultivating, repairing and renewing that I did not want to disrupt my progression
so today, Saturday, January 29th
I am at home..enjoying the morning..doing laundry and teaching myself how to paint flowers with watercolors!
