Fall is upon us now. For me here in the Midwest, it almost feels like a bit of the summer we didn't have. The days are warm with the exception of cool nights. The leaves are just starting to change in some spots and I am hoping for that crisp fall air to roll in soon.
Change is unavoidable. I am learning this more and more as I get older. Sometimes change is Wonderful and then Other times we need to work to see the good in it. As I am getting older I am becoming scared of change. My children are growing and both in school now which is very very hard for me accept. Nothing can be the same as it was, we have entered a new chapter. As the Chapters of life progress, it seems that life gets more complicated. More intense at times. Whether the intensity is happiness or sadness depends on the day.
I have been working in my studio for the past weeks. Mostly on Candles, but here and there on some art. I am really feeling the need to create. To release something from deep inside. My Fears and My Dreams. They are all wrapped up together. Bottled up and ready to be released. I am sitting quietly trying to listen to what my soul is telling me. What are the angels trying to say? Which direction should I move in? So many choices, so many colors to choose from. Life is so full of color, if we choose to let it in.
Here is a recent painting that I finished the other day. I am working on a few new dolls and hope that they will be finished up in about a week.
How about you......What does Change mean to you? How do you feel about it?
