Blogs are simply –
public diaries. I remember as a child I had a baby blue diary with a tiny lock
and key attached to it. I also remember losing that key, which meant I had to
cut my diary open. With no lock, it became an open book. As it is now, that
diary was filled with hopes, dreams, aspirations, affirmations and experiences.
I wasn’t afraid to try anything. I didn’t worry about time. I didn’t think
about money.
I’ve spent many years in
the entertainment field making stars and orchestrating other people’s dreams. I
loved every minute of it. And I just wrote that in the past tense. Feels
strange yet liberating. During that time, I filled many of my own dreams too.
Some have yet to be realized and THIS IS what MY new
venture is about. My creative spirit, my inner child is telling me it’s TIME
TO PLAY.
I think as adults,
sometimes it’s possible to forget how alive we really are. We can get trapped
with responsibilities and limitations. Even the barrage of too frequent,
disturbing images and events around the world can make us numb and want to hide
under cover. I think it’s possible to forget about our inner child and all the
things that make our hearts leap for joy. I think it’s possible to forget about
the radiant intelligence of our inner child, especially when discovering
something new for the very first time. I want to see more of the wonderment and
excitement of the present in the way my inner child sees. I WANT TO CREATE! I
WANT TO PAINT! I WANT TO SEE ART, I WANT TO SHARE ART. I WANT TO HOLD ART
SHOWS. I WANT TO SELL ART. No confinement, no deadlines, no limitations and if
my inner child wants to paint fluffy purple clouds – so be it. The other need
my inner child is asking for is a dog and now that I have the time and love to
share, I can address this need too. So mission accomplished, a couple more
dreams realized.
Join me on my journey
and maybe you too will be inspired to let your inner child out to play –
because after all, this IS what life is all about.
