So, continued from yesterday about making space for my new dream... I had my plants on the mural primed and was wondering… what am I going to paint here?

Then I remember, oh yeah, one reason why I hadn’t done this yet is… have you seen the price of paint? All of the "how much money do I get to spend on my joy" stories swirled around.

And I say to myself… well, I want to do it so I am doing it. I am making a commitment to following my creative practice where it goes. I am buying art supplies as needed. That’s just a part of this.

I have this problem that didn’t seem connected to this.

My bedroom closet is so cluttered! Like, I don’t even have that many clothes, what is even going on in there? That's a part of what I want to de-clutter and re-organize this year, but so far I had avoided looking more deeply at what was in there. And then I just happened to look closer and...

It turns out that TWO BOXES OF PAINTS is what is going on in there, lol!!!!

Which I had put into the closet because I wasn’t sure if I was finished the mural I had been painting up there and just wanted them out of sight. And I guess.. out of sight out of mind because I thought I had NO paint to start from. Turns out I do have wall paint - in all of the colours I like 

It feels like following our creative dreams wherever they go, not letting the inner voices stop us and getting creative about getting around the outer obstacles…. solves problems and creates new possibilities that WE CANNOT SEE in advance.

I just love this.

A practice is an ALCHEMICAL CONTAINER.

The work is just to stay in it, and keep listening and following it. I think when we want it to look a certain way or create a certain outcome, we can thwart the magic and power of it.

I flipping LOVE my new wall.

It feels like a "dreamscape" and sitting at my desk feels more magical and creative.

I did MAKE SPACE for new dreams to emerge here.

And it freed up some energy and I did get a good start on organizing art and office supplies.
