Commitment

There is so much going on in peoples lives, so busy, too many worries and distractions. Lately I have been thinking about commitment to my personal passions. The things I do that help me thrive.

I have to re-commit to this blog. To my artwork. To just keep doing it; step away from the distractions of the outer world, commit to the soul life.

I have been intensely involved with my garden and now it is too hot to be outside for long. I actually made myself sick – probably heat stroke – working on a brick pathway a little too late into the morning, and planting a new flower bed in the front yard. I knew I had to step back, only work outside, in the early morning coolness, and dusk when the sun has taken its foot off the gas. We, (the human race) really need to face it, global warming is a real thing.

I live in the west, drought has changed my thinking about what I can plant. What can survive in this intense heat. What can I plant that will help the honey bees, birds and butterfly’s. I maintain a small pond for the pollinators. It is pretty cool to watch birds take a bath, and the bees zoom in for a drink of water. Growing waterlilies can be rewarding. The bees land on the lily pads to get their sip of water. A solar powered fountain keeps the water clear and aerated. Water helps to keep the garden balanced and healthy.

TIME TO CHANGE THE ALTAR – When there is change in your life, you should change your altar to reflect and honor the birthing of this new venture. It is a welcoming process, calling in spirit and acknowledging that you have heard the call, it is time to take another step forward on the road less taken.

Spirit has been nudging me all week. Little things, subtle things that need to be heard and attended to. I must go back in to the Shaman’s cave.
