FIRST OFF, Happy Halloween! May the spookiness continue to reside in your heart long after your jack-o-lanterns have started molding and stinking up the porch!
Next, let's take a look at this flowing, water-colory glorious fabric! When I got this bolt in the mail, I was immediately excited to do cool toned winter looks!
I've said this many times before, but I will explain it again. Even though I love Winter, there are some things that have made it more of a struggle for me in the past. I have long held a grudge against the holidays, choosing to let them beat me with a glitter encrusted holly bough.
Miraculously, I've done a lot of emotional healing toward the holiday of Christmas. That was all inner-child work and meditations where I went back to younger Michelle and held her on my lap and told her how wonderful and blessed things would be for her later on as the years went by.
I told little Michelle that "yes, things ARE unfair to your little brain, but you AND your fellow humans on earth are also adept at batting away blessings and only focusing on our sorrows and pain until it consumes us......so EVEN IF they did have many wonderful blessings, they would still RAGE and battle and hate....and that is their choice and the point that they have landed in their path. It's okay. It's okay. Just keep seeing if you can choose a little more joy and make a little bit more peace with the pain."
And here we arrive at the theming for this week. Finding quiet solitude amongst chaos.....perhaps BECAUSE of the chaos that pushes you further than you might have thought.
Also, finding motivation and a burst of determination even while in a rut....even when it feels like there is a concrete block pushing your life force down. Perhaps...just theorizing here....you might find your strength in the place where you felt the weakest. Fire and Ice, baby.
