Why My Journey Matters to You
Without reflection, we go blindly on our way, creating more unintended consequences, and failing to achieve anything useful.
Margaret Wheatley
At the beginning of writing this blog, way
back in 2011, even though my posts were few and far between, my intention was
to create a document of my thoughts, which were guiding me to the place from
which I now write to you daily.
Even though, my writing has creative
elements about it, which is in large part my natural expression, mixed with the
in this moment inspiration and my
connection with the inner source – it is still very much a documenting of the
processes that are shaping me as a human being, first and foremost (this
relates to all the wonderful connections: sister, daughter, mother, best
friend) – and then as an artist and designer, creative entrepreneur and
influencer of positive thinking, as a soul (a vessel of love for the divine
energy to flow to one and all).
All of this to say, my friend, I am
documenting the expanding of my soul, and the journey I am on, only not for me
– but for you, in hope that sharing might be of service to you some day, or
today, depending on where you are in your own personal journey and if those
paths are aligned in certain aspects. Perhaps you could be a photographer and a
creative soul who loves family; or you could be an artist who is the happiest
when they pour their soul to the painting in front of them, only with music
from Bach, or Mozart for company, or in the solitude of your own thought (oh,
how much we have in common); or a young mother who has two little children in
her care and with all the love she has inside her soul – she is dreaming big
dreams and creating a loving nest for all of them to grow together; or you
could be a keen driver who is planning a journey around the whole coast of
Great Britain (and then Scandinavia, and then Europe) – drop me a line if that
is you – I would gladly join you for those journeys, with just photographs,
nature, sea and sky, some interesting connections with people who live in the
most remote areas of our beloved continent, and vast expanses of empty road)….
See, my friend – you could be all of these people, as I am all of them equally.
I have travelled that road and I am still on that road, and I shall be here
with you forevermore.
Why my journey matters to you? Because we
are the reflection of each other, and it is my pleasure to present to you the
deepest, inner most thoughts and feelings that my soul has to offer. And you
are welcome, by the way. I ask for nothing in return. My reward is in knowing
that I followed my heart, and believed with everything inside me – that it will
lead me to where I belong, as long as I stay true to who I am. I know I belong
heart and soul to this moment, I live true in every word I ever dedicate and
write to you, my friend. So, this is us, going forward as we are. The best in
each other – you and I.
How I See This Blog Going Forward
I didn’t strategically plan it all those
years ago, but as I set documenting and writing, there are subjects that
separate themselves and become clear, and I know it’s time to organise those
thoughts into subject matter for your ease of navigation through them.
The Balance of Seven
The operative word being the balance of
different areas and aspects that we have to keep in focus for a healthy and
happy existence. Trust me, I could paint all day long every day, but I enjoy
time with family, contemplative walks, outdoor activities, business studies,
baking – to name but a few – and besides enjoying them passionately, and wanting to find time for all of the
above, all of it is necessary to keep pursuing and bringing my best self to the
table in all of them, allowing me to grow in a more complete way, and remain
happiest as I don’t have to give up anything I enjoy and love doing, learning,
developing, creating.
And seven – because if you know which
subject to expect on certain days of the week, then you can craft the
experience of joining me to suit your interest at the specific point in your
own journey.
Just to remind you, I post regular posts in
Art Monday series, and Style Saturday series. As I am a self employed artist
and interior designer, I spend a lot of my time working on my business and I
have a lot to share that might be interesting and useful to you if you are
still at the beginning of that journey. This will most probably be dedicated
posts titled Wednesday is Business series. I would certainly mark those with
specific subjects after the title of individual post – so that you know where
to look for them and find them in the archives of the blog, if you are not
currently connected, but joining me at some point after I publish this.
The other four days will be keeping the
balance with the three specific posts series, and will continue to explore mind
and soul work, the importance of understanding self, offering of unconditional
love (to self, family, and all others - equally), keeping things in perspective,
awareness of the big picture, the importance of legacy, respect for our body
(as it deserves, because it is after all the physical representation of the
beautiful soul inside us), happiness (of course, as many – even close friends,
still ask me: ‘How can you be happy all the time? How can you see positive in
everything that you live through? How?’ – They still haven’t grasped it, and I
will tirelessly offer my best insights to you on this subject, my friend. I
care so much that you live your happiest and most fulfilled life and I will
forever remain the advocate for the only happiness that really exists and
really matters – one that comes from understanding, knowing and fully embracing
your inner being, who is connected with the soul of the universe and will unmistakably
guide you forward).
Only when the mindset is correct, when we
love ourselves and work in concert with the soul that is who we are – then we
can thrive at everything our heart desires to do. We can excel and be really a positive
example and the change for the better for all of us.
This, my friend, is my gift to you. I am
sending you the best energy and all the love inside my heart to light your path
and to let you know that you certainly are not alone in eternal quest for joy.
Remember – You Are Safe Here
This is the sacred place between our souls. Thank you for sharing your visions, dreams and ideas. Your courage to be vulnerably seen will always be respected, and you will be treated with nothing but kindness and compassion. ♡
