What a Difference A Week Makes!

Last week I was stuck, mired in almost ready, getting there, not quite or absolutely not. This week everything seems to be moving forward in a rush.

My show at Gallery 255 is hung and looks really great! The newly configures space is perfect. I have audaciously hung only 1 painting per wall. Scary for me but these paintings are large and are worth it! The opening is Saturday night. There are a lot of other events going on and I am holding the space for people to come to mine. The perfect people.

My day job ends on Sunday. It is an end and it is a new beginning with all the attendant emotions.

I am rehearsing with a new director for my show 'Skydiver'. I am so excited. He is going to help me find the humor in my life story! Honestly I can't wait to laugh at it & me!

It is all good. It is all for my good.

It is better when it's moving forward!

Busy Busy

Where did the last week go? I feel as if I am marching, mostly forward, at a slow but steady pace, and now all of a sudden things are picking up speed!

I am hanging an exhibit of my paintings at Gallery 255 in Ventura on Wednesday. I finally figured out what paintings I am going to hang and so have a huge sense of relief. It is going to be an impressive show! She says modestly. My job is finishing up this week. I have rehearsal for the ballet and have started talking with a new director for my 1-woman show Skydiver which will be performed on June 12 at the WAV. I am teaching an art class, doing a couple of closet organising gigs, thinking about teaching a beginning acting class, taking a writing class....the list goes on. I am grateful that my time is being used creatively.

The problem is my mind has gotten lazy habits. Life has been frustratingly simple these past few months and I stopped using my organizer/day planner. I have started writing things in it. Now I have to retrain myself to actually look at the things I have written.

I love being creative! I feel alive! I feel like I am fulfillin my purpose here on earth! Gratitude is overflowing!

I am going to be the Queen in the Ventura Ballet Company's Sleeping Beauty! I have never danced ballet in my life. I do not have to in this, but...I do have to be graceful, stand up straight, glide regally, and use hand & arm gestures that are totally unfamiliar in their grace. I will be spending the next two weeks doing lots of yoga, Pilates and more pilates, and practicing making my old hands and arms graceful!

Be careful what you wish for! I have been wanting to get fit, I tend to need a goal...and bingo! I manifested this amazing opportunity! Scares me to death and makes me grateful!

So today I am going to finish some paintings while standing regally, moving my brushes in graceful strokes watching the Sleeping Beauty dvd so I can manifest myself into someone who knows what they're doing onstage in a ballet!

Cranky

My work has been going well this week. I am excited by it! I am grateful for it! I will put new photos on here as soon as I have them.

I have been really cranky and disappointed lately...agitated. Today I just happened to look at my May horoscope and there it all was. It was a relief; it's the planets doing this to me!

I don't believe everything I read in horoscopes, but I do believe, having experienced transitions that aligned precisely to planetary transitions. So I feel I can relax a bit and enjoy the ride. I have definitely not been enjoying the ride in recent weeks.

So today I am enjoying the sunny day in beautiful downtown Ventura, the friends I am seeing and my lovely home. Not much to be cranky about really, is there?
