{ Kaileen Elise } Make Every Day Extraordinary

Every day is an opportunity to be creative – the canvas is your mind,
the brushes and colours are your thoughts and feelings,
the panorama is your story,
the complete picture is a work of art called, ‘my life’.
Be careful what you put on the canvas of your mind today – it matters.
(Innerspace)

I came across this quote and found it to be a lovely reminder that we choose the lives we live. We pick the colors of paint that suit our mood and we influence the weight of the brushstrokes. We have no idea how the work of art will turn out, but we see glimpses of how it could be.

Take a moment to consider how complete or empty your canvas is today. Is there something that you can do to create more white space? Do you want to add some big, bold colors? What is your heart telling you?

I’ve been trying to listen to my heart lately, but I feel like I’m receiving mixed messages. Sometimes I feel the passion to write, be creative and get more involved in the beautiful webby community we live in. Other times I find myself wondering if I will ever catch up on all the ‘things’ I have and want to do. Then, there are other times when I decide that the ‘things’ I have to do are so immaterial and useless, and I should just live in the moment.

For now I am trying to hold still and listen. I know there is wisdom in patience and understanding in space. I hope you are well & loving your creative lives. I miss you & will be back in full force soon.
