winter’s solstice…
…on this day of winter’s solstice…in the early hours of morning just beyond my last moments of dreaming… i awaken for a new day. it is here. i set forth with a ritualistic cup of tea…a journal, and here, i set the tone for my day through “morning pages’, a practice i have grown to love. it is a time of ‘intention’, to nurture my creative mindset. my days come and go, months pass, i may not yet know the wide reaching impacts, but there is a slow shifting in this creative life… and my path, as a creator. the words spill out from heart to hand, an indescribable gentle determination to anchor and slowly move the needle through this dedicative practice, has been authentically life changing.
p.s. ~ five years ago, an artist recommended a tremendously impactful book. the beauty written within and the timeless teachings i look to yet today, as a creative… and frankly, life’s teachings are there. I highly recommend this book for anyone… especially creatives, “the artist’s way, a spiritual path to higher creativity”, by julia cameron. a book of reconnecting, of excavating and embracing our lost selves, and reclaiming all that you are, a book full of encouragement.
love, nicole
