...focus chrissy!

i.ve been in a bit of a fog lately.
 having a hard time focusing.
not finishing projects before i start on yet another.
feeling pulled in many different directions.
words don.t come as easily to my mind right now.
they hide and make me dig for them.
i can.t concentrate.
{from a little shirt i bring out whenever i.m feeling this way,
 just to warn those around me!}

i know it will pass.
it always does.
but i have to say that i am so excited to be flying out to california today.
to meet this beautiful soul.
to breath.
to talk.
to share.
to walk.
to paint.
to not.
to be.
i.m hoping to find some space inside me.
some vacancy.
in the meantime sweet dear friends that i love...
sweet dreams!

  2. the fog has found it's way here too chrissy. i think that it is the small buds of summer nestling in for that last bit of warm so they (all our ideas, hopes and dreams) can burst wide open in the coming summer season. i hope your visit fills you up friend!

  4. I'm having one of those times at the moment where I have too many ideas and just can't decide on where to start, i've got pages and pages of scruffy drawings and nothing drawn up neatly ready to paint.
    I just can't commit to one thing at the moment!! :)

    P.s. I don't know if I said this already but "I REALLY APPRECIATE" the emails you sent me the other week about the magazine stuff, I would give you a jolly good squeeze if you were near by ;) Hugs for you fabulous lady x x x

  5. I hope you have a lovely time in California, maybe a bit of time away is just what you need for the fog to lift?

  6. oh my goodness.....i know that very fog that you're describing.....mainly because i seem to be in one most days!!! i'm glad that you have a chance to sneak away to a place where fog doesn't exist.....enjoy your breathing, talking, painting, sharing, walking, and just being time (is it too late to add "chocolating" to the list?!!)......travel safe, have fun sweet one!!! xox, :))

  8. Be warned...whenever those moments strike me, there is usually so much that finally comes out that I can hardly make time to sleep! Words, ideas, happiness all overflow following the drought. Happy travels!

  10. Chrissy, if you read my "scattered" post from last week you will know that I totally get it! Much as we'd like to, we can't always be on top of everything 100% of the time - all part of the ebb and flow.

    I know you and the fabulous Kolleen are going to have a blast. Huge hugs to both of you!! Hope I can hug you both for real in November!!!

  11. Your friend will help you out of the fog! We all have it, see it, it is a lull between your next
    creative surge! Hang in there, best thing to do is go on an Art Date, do something you haven't done in awhile and/or try something new!
    It will snap you back to you! Flying to CA and enjoying your friend, will inspire you and nudge you, out of the funky fog! Have a wonderful time!!!

  14. I can totally relate to your description of sometimes being in a 'fog' that is somewhat paralyzing. Glad to hear that you are looking forward to your California visit (my sunny state). I hope that your visit gets your juices flowing again. Have a great time!!

  16. oh how i relate
    to being
    pulled
    in many directions
    & how that
    can cause
    a kind of
    exhaustion
    & then
    fog
    & something
    in us
    goes on strike.
    i am so
    heart happy
    for both
    you
    & kolleen
    to now have
    a singular focus
    of
    filling
    your
    cups.
    i wish you both
    brim
    brim
    brim
    & huge love
    as always.
    (& if you paint,
    i'd be giddy
    pleased
    to see!!!).

  17. Oh, you lucky woman!! I'm so glad you and Kolleen get to hang out and celebrate your friendship!! Enjoy!!! Love, Silke

  18. Spending time with a good friend is usually the best medicine for lack of concentration. I've found that whenever a friend takes the time to truly listen to what's been on our mind, things begin to make more sense and the inner chatter quiets down.

  19. Lucky you! Have a lovely trip and wonderful visit out in sunny California. These days I just blame all of my actions and scatter brain on early menopause :))Just this month alone I've finished making something in the kitchen and left the oven/stove on at least 6 times. Does that make you feel any better?

  20. Oh, I hope you have a lovely relaxing trip with no need to concentrate, but just relax and enjoy your friendship. :-)

    PS. I'm back from NZ and looking forward to catching up with your lovely blog!
