Carmen's Creative Works

What a difference a day can make…. last night I was exhausted and bone weary.  Yet I could not sleep, my body ached and the constant pain kept my mind spinning.  Tossing and turning and struggling with trying to fall asleep the voice of doubt crept in from the shadows with the old fears of not being able to do all that my soul longs for…

Several hours of this and as sleep continued to be elusive, I got up and pulled out some crafts and a small wire book that I was beginning to use to write out the steps I have been working on for my oracle deck.

Well in the wee hours of the morning this has transformed into my own “Dream Maker” book.  It is a kind of “To Do Book” and my little book has now been decorated with colour, words and inspiration to build and track the steps to make all these dreams that have come to mean so much to me… come true…

There will be 7 major categories and I will be making a Dream/Vision Board of soon which will then hang in a place that reminds me of my focus for this year.  After that I will be breaking things down into smaller manageable, and actionable steps…  I am setting goals and defining my dreams in specific areas as they unfold and I continue to plan and work towards my hearts purpose:

• Creative Dreams
• Personal Growth
• Relationship and Social
• Financial
• Wellness
• Hearth and Home
• Play

I needed to sleep during the today (luckily I had the day off) to recover from a night of no sleep and then went to yoga this evening.  Through the breathing and meditation I became so much more hopeful.  Now instead of the shadows and voices of the critic, I feel grateful, blessed and so very hopeful.

Tomorrow is another day, and while I may not be moving forward at a pace that others might, I am doing what I can and I’m good with that….
