I'm back again

Can you believe it? I am chasing the perfectionism away and going to continue to put my butt in the chair and blog away like my words are the masterpiece I envision.

I have a pretty great time since I last blogged. I have been doing alot of decluttering and passing things on to other people who actually are delighted to get the things I no longer want. This gives me so much joy. It is so much fun to give things to people than post them on ebay, keep checking back and then packing it up and mailing and all that businessy stuff. I really love giving it to someone who is super excited because they are getting it for free and they say thank you with a smile. It is worth more than the 5 bucks I may have made.

I am also working very dilgently on getting my sewing room/creative space in order. I have the main parts and pieces I just need to work on getting them arranged and organized. I am so lucky to have my own room in the house to create and use as my sacred space.

I am going to sign up for knitting lessons beginning in March and I am so looking forward to it. I learned to crochet about 10 years ago but after crocheting alot for about 6 months I quit and do not seem to remember.

I am signing off for now and will be back shortly.

I am still here

It has been so long since I have posted.Today seems like the right day to post. Without going any further perfectionism seems to cut my postings off at the knees. I am putting my perfectionism in time out right now so if there are any errors in this post ignore then because that is what I intend to do. Right now I just intend to get something written to the blog.

It is currently snowing and raining where I live. I am sitting in a wonderfully cozy glassed in sunroom watching the flakes fall. The snow is not sticking but it looks so serene and peaceful it is mesmerizing. Early I started a pot of chili with lots of veggies and beans. Yummy. I have also cuddled up with cups of hot tea. As another concidence I am reading a book named Consumption which is set in the cold icy tundra.

Right now my energy is focusing on decluttering my life and setting it on a more simple path. I am jazzed and excited about this. I have dreamt of doing this for about 10 years but for some reason this year my vision of how I want my life to be has become sharper and more concrete. For once I feel like I know the path I am on and it feels very right.

This is not to say that I have not done anything in the way of making my life more simple because that is inaccurate. I think this year I am feeling the momentum of all my past choices and am feeling the effect of baby steps. I am really happy and content with that.

Well, I am going to stop writing and enjoy my snowfall.
