Recognize the Inner Observer


I am the one who listens to the inner babble of my subconscious mind. I listen from the seat of Self behind her noise.

I have finally figured out why it sometimes feels like I am sick of myself; like I've been on a road trip or a vacation with myself too long. That friend that I am just a tad tired of.  It is that babble that goes on in the mind that I am tired of listening to.  Her ideas are often wrong. She can be really self destructive, too.  Most of the time it is impossible to get her to just be quiet. No wonder I wish the trip was over and she'd go home!

Just stop talking then...

I'm tired of hearing you say, "I wasn't going to say anything, but..." Then stop saying anything.

My Petals

I searched "journaling inspiration" on the internet and I found this little exercise about documenting your petals in the here and now.  What is important to me right now? What do I like? What is my focus? This was a grade school assignment that some kid brought home to his mom and I thought I should try it.

Who am I here and now?
Things look a little different than they have in the past. Fitness and running are missing although getting outside and moving are still showing the active side of me.  I have always focused on my relationship with God but there is more concentration on living my purpose/ His purpose for me.  I notice the focus on personal, quiet things now... my kindle, home, the computer and digital art.  I am nurturing my closest relationships with my daughter and Eric but friendships and my social life are currently not in focus.  

My focus is changed because I am changed.  The spiritual explosion that is going on inside of me has taken over so many facets of my daily life from what I read, watch, think about, talk about, search online, explore and create. This is living my purpose.
