Just thinking . . .

I've been thinking so much about this post my friend, Nicole, wrote. The title "I think my chakras are blocked" grabbed me the moment I read it. YES. That's exactly it! I think MY chakras are blocked! And I have been thinking about it ever since.

Nicole wrote:

"I came to the conclusion - my spirit is blocked. There is a wall inside, and it's dark
and it's negative. My potential is not even close to being tapped into.

No, I am NOT nurturing myself. I am being lazy, I am resting..
resting all the damned time - but never feeling peace.

Every once in a while, when I have spent a little time alone,
I regroup and a twinge of hope surfaces.
But that underlying, dynamic "ME" is hiding in there."

I feel that. All of it. Way too often lately.

So, I've got some spirit cleaning up to do.

Tomorrow, I am getting together with my Scrapbook Cellar babes (LT, CE and PK). It's been way too long since we've gathered, due to some really crappy obstacles for some of my friends there. The strength those ladies have inspires me more than anything else in this word - and sitting with them tomorrow will be surely more therapeutic for me than any one of them. Yes, the cleaning of the spirit begins.

I will be back soon with life lesson learned this week . . . this time - it's what I learned about raising strong, courageous, independent women.  It's a good one . . .
 
Until then . . . just throwing some thoughts out there. I hope you all are having a lovely day - where ever you may be. How are your chakras? Just wondering . . .
 
I wish you Peace.

    Hello dear Leanne! It was so nice to see you swing by my bloggy. I have been bad about visiting all my friends too (although I pop in and stalk them every now and then). I hear ya about feeling blocked creatively and spiritualy. I can be on a roll feeling pretty good about finding my inner artist, and then BAM, I can wake up one morning feeling utterly insecure about cutting up paper.

    Sometimes it's good for me to just do something not art related. Then I find I start to crave it and being around my creative bloggy friends always does wonders for me.

    I know your chakras will be flowing like mad soon and you'll get back to nurturing your creative soul again :)

    hugs,
    Anna

    My chakras were blocked for a LONG time. Thankfully, a lot of soul searching and time with God and the ones who really love me, helped a lot. This past year has been a long journey, but it's been a great one!

    My chakras have hit the ground running and I plan on rounding them up soon. Jeesh. Stupid chakras.
    Have fun with the ladies. They are always good at making us laugh and feel fantastic. I miss my gals.
    PS. I scrapbook too!

My Dream Home Smash Book

Have you ever heard of a Smash Book? If you are a scrapbooker or art journal person, you may have. If you are not one of those types, you may not have. I am a scrapbooker . . . but had no idea what a Smash Book was. That is, until my dear friend Peggy brought hers to our Scrapbook Cellar gathering last month. She introduced us all to her cool little composition journal, and the conversation went something like this: PK :  Here is my Smash book. Me : Your what? PK : My Smash Book. Me : Like, smash, what? PK : Smash . . . things. You know. Like, stuff. Me : What? PK : See . . . I will put stuff in here. Junk. Things I don't want to lose, but don't know what to do with. Me : Huh? PK : Smash. Me : I don't get it. PK : Google it. CE (our friend, Cindi, who just entered the conversation and saw was PK was holding): Oh, a Smash Book! Cool! Me : Huh? CE : Google it. LT (my sister, Laura, who is right there with me): I don't get it. So, I googled it. ...

Any Day Now . . .

Any day now . . . Any day now . . . we will see you in all your glory, and the memory of past Springs will become our reality once again.  Any day now . . . I will walk passed you and be reminded of that scene in "Willie Wonka" . . . Gene Wilder as "Willie Wonka" image obtained from Google Image Search. Original site unknown. . . . when Gene Wilder drinks something (that I like to imagine is the sweetest, butteriest, most amazing thing) from a buttercup, and I'll wish just once I could do the same with you. Any day now . . . I will turn the corner of our block and find you waiting for me with your petals wide open, as if wanting to give me a Spring hug, and your scent will make me feel as if the heavens have opened up and sprinkled sweet smells over us all. Any day now . . . can't come soon enough.

Howdy Friends!!! Hope this post finds you all doing well! As part of my blog series "100 Things to Do with Grapes"  (STOP - wait a minute .... are you kidding me??? I don't have a blog series about grapes!!! Oh - but just imagine if I did!!!), I just had to share with you one of my very all time favorite summer treats . . .  Ok, are you even slightly interested? Hang in there with me, ok? Because this easy, summer "yum" is bound to be a favorite of YOURS!!!! That is . . . unless you have a peanut allergy. If you have a peanut allergy, I would STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST making this treat. (Come back Monday for another more appropriate post for you.) If you DON'T have peanut allergy . . . run to the store RIGHT NOW and pick up these three things . . . Seriously . . . it only takes these three things; green grapes, lightly salted dry roasted peanuts, and a bag of white chips. Seriously . . . that is all! So, how do you make these awesome snackies?...
