Bullseye

My horoscope from a few days ago....right on the money.

I usually read my horoscope in the LA Times before I dive into the day's crossword puzzle, and every once in a while I get one speaks to me more loudly and clearly than a neon-blazed billboard on Sunset Blvd.  I love that this one shown poses the question of what I would have in my life if I had less money...so often we are encouraged to think wildly and grandly, as in what would we do with a million dollars.  That can be fun, but I think anytime we focus on less and on simplification our priorities come into sharper view.

For many reasons this has been a pretty wild week full of weird emotions, personal breakthroughs and a new gallery show that literally plopped into my lap less than a week ago.  I feel my creative energy bubbling and sparkling and, after all these strange and still unresolved health issues, am actually quite relieved to feel the fire within me beginning to blaze again.  For a while there I thought it might have dimmed beyond salvation and then suddenly - out of nowhere - the inspiration I needed to burst back into life came knocking on my door.

There is much to write and share, and I will be posting much more regularly starting next week, but in the meantime I have more than 15 new creations at Deborah Page Gallery in Santa Monica, and I'll be there during the afternoons of Saturday, August 4th and Saturday, August 11th.

Many thanks to everyone for all of the support, energy and well wishes you have sent my way this summer as I've trudged through this strange, emotionally gooey territory.

Yeah, I think this is natural stuff. Kinda like pre-growth composting. . .

What a great question! I'm going to put it in my journal and really think about it.

I also have had the experience of feeling as though my fire has burned out, and I know that we have to look out for each other in those times.

But most of all - I just got your update and I am so impressed by all the activity. I would so much love to be able to visit the gallery in person. Instead I'll email you today about getting some of your art all the way out here to Afghanistan!

Hello Christine--

Nice to see your current artworks and accomplishments. Great work.

I think I (and most everyone) can relate to the scary experience of the dimming of the fire. Truly chilling. But it does come back, usually with reignited gratitude and light shed on new inspirations. I'm glad you are experiencing that and doing well.

Don't let the goo hold you down. Thanks for keeping me posted.

blessings & support from afar...
