Studio Friday, My Map...Where am I Going Anyway?

Photo of a Bamboo Forest by Tess....

Topic this week for Studio Friday is My Map...as in mapping your true desires, destiny, creative future...where am I going??  Monica explains so nicely here.

I do believe that if we put our truest wishes out there...to the universe...they will come to be.  The hard part is articulating just exactly what those wishes are.  Be careful what you wish for....

For instance, my dream day/life would be enjoying a leisurely cup of Chai with Ellen and Kevin at the local coffee shop, then taking a long bike ride followed by time spent making art in my studio....oh yea, that new one I spoke about here....lots of time for travel and reading.  But I would not, at this time, want to lose my job and have travel be 'riding my bike to the unemployment office' and reading be 'the TC want ads'.  I need to fully understand what it is that I seek before throwing it out there to the universe.

I believe you need to do the prep work though, be prepared when those little opportunities present themselves...the ones that may lead to fulfilling those mapped out dreams and wishes.

Also taking advantage of opportunities, being spontaneous....inviting those possibilities that may bring joy and creative energy into your life.  I am doing that very thing...TODAY!...

my birthday (if truth be told!)...sailing right on past that half century mark...

winging my way, just a HOP, skip and a jump over there!!  Oh yea.....

Great picture of bamboo trees! Amazing.

I think life has a road already mapped out for us and our influences can sometimes hinder that travel. I guess it's truly all of what you make of it and want at that moment. Good luck with your dreams!

I agree Stephanie!!
One of my true goals has taken SO LONG to receive. It has been important to learn to love the work along the way, so that I have the right base to receive the Grand Prix!!
