I used to be an early riser, filled with creative ideas the moment I got out of bed. These days, the end of the day seems to be the opening to my creative juices. Living on the intracoastal in South Florida is a treat - and I enjoy rising slowly, watching the sun sneak up to the sky, with Hercules and Zeus (my 2 cats) and my cup of organic coffee. Mornings have turned into times for me to fill my soul, rather than pour it out into the world. Daily, I start out with sacred music, a great view, and slowly I begin to fill up with life.
That said, by the end of the afternoon, I find that the sun setting calls me outside for a walk that is the formal end to my productive work day. Scenes like the one at left leave me speechless some evenings - and it is a great way for me to empty my mind from all that went on during the day. Somehow, it seems that in this emptying, I am finding my most creative thoughts emerge at the same time. Once that starts flowing, it feels so good that when I return, I'll either start writing, or free drawing, or even creative cooking. This is a whole new side of me that seems to have turned inside out - a person that I am living with that seems to be recreating life for me!
What are you doing to allow your creative juices to express themselves? What have I done that has caused this shift? One important thing I have done is move a lot of furniture around in my condo at the start of the New Chinese Year. Old habits don't leave easily - moving furniture around is a habit that I've had since I was a little girl! Things just 'feel' differently in new locations - and when you couple that with Feng Shui and all that I know about it - it is a magical experience. These days when I am working at my desk, it is in a more open space where I am able to open the doors to the patio so Herc & Zeus can enjoy the fresh air - and we all get to enjoy the water view as we work. There is a lot of work ahead that requires me to be creative - and the basic, bottom line for me is feeling good in my surroundings. Good Feng Shui always comes through.
