Old Crone, Love your screen name ! I qualify as a crone as well..LOL! Midlife. I have a few "Big Ideas" , all creative, and sometimes I wonder if I'm just too big for my britches!! Ha-HA! I want to publish a book ( maybe more than one). I want a healing practice in my home...I want to speak ( keynote) and perform a bit on stage. ( and there is even more). My life has been way too serious until recently ~ the writing and speaking and performing are all dreams that got supressed for a long time..and now I'm just bustin' out all over the place with color and new ideas and BIG dreams. MY questions are: AM I too big for my britches ? Does one have to narrow down and focus; can one work a bit on all of it? And, last but not least, what ( if anything comes to you) do you see in my future ( when I grow Up?!) Love and Light, Tallkat
Hi TallKat and hi StarFly i guess i am old enough too to join the circle of oldish ladies ... you know i just came in from doing a sketch with many trees reaching up to the sky, with silver white branches and vines spiraling up and all intertwined and connected. A magic forest in deep slumber, preparing for its time to wake. Yes a filigrane web are we. I loved your quote StarFly. TallKat ... i think you are not too big a girl, to start at the beginning and be just creative in finding your own recipe here, and be consequent with your self ... do not focus so much on the outcome but stay with the process of change. It will all work out fine. Instal a loving relationship with the creative forces in spirit. In this there are no limits, and nothing will keep you from becoming who you are. And be creative in seeing the others the same way ... like a sleeping forest with arms reaching out, to slowly wake. Wishing you well!
Reach for the sky..if you are going to fall might as well make the landing worth it. Just imagine though where you will be when you find you can fly. Hi Talkat You are the breath of your dreams, so only you can breath them into existance. Never doubt your size in this. You are everything you need to be to make your world become you. I Believe in You... So should you. Does not mean there will be no rocks in the road. I have learned much from these rocks. I have sent you a private message. Good luck Let me know when the first book comes out.
Hi, Thanks to each of you for the replies ! Tommorrow is my birthday, I'll be 54 ~ so a nice time to recieve input. My first book is a real story ~ I have performed it via storytelling in a local workshop, which is where I found out I love the "stage". Coulda knocked me over with a feather! I never knew this about myself. Got a GREAT reception from audiance..... My book may be near completion ( how does one know?) Ha! .It is my story of my path following an assault by one of my psych patients that left me vision impaired and cognitively damaged. ( Mild form of diffuse brain damage). I fit fully in neither the handicapped world or the 'functional ' world. Which makes me a bridge and a voice for those with impairments..my book is inspirational, and funny , and very real. I plan for a resource list at the back of the book. Its very colorful writing with lots of images. I was told I had a gift for writing in 6th grade, I still remember that teacher. I was an abused neglected kid ( another book) and that comment has stayed with me. I just never did develop it. I was in survival mode. Someone told me about 3 years ago that I had Huge, big energy ~ including the Oprah thing ! The more I allow my self to laugh and play: I am beginning to believe this about myself. Not by trying harder do I believe it, but by letting up! How great. I've wondered just how to publish, and God knows I need editing. A manuscript has to be in top shape , or so 'they ' say...but I KNOW my book is publishable and will sell. I just flat believe it. I wonder what is just ahead!!!! Feels good to dream, to KNOW, and to have hope. Tallkat
