Every Monday, Wednesday & Friday morning I invite you Behind the Scenes at my studio.
Today: Tapping into the energy of the Black New Moon, sharing our one-magazine-page collages and discovering the impact of seeing yourself anew.

A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE, YOU ARE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT INSIDE AND OUT. I REALLY ENJOYED BEHIND THE SCENES AS USUAL BUT YOU REALLY HIT HOME FOR ME TODAY. I HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH SOME EMOTIONAL CHANGES THIS PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, BECOMING AWARE OF A DEEP ROOTED FEAR OF LOSING CONTROL. I COULD ALSO RELATE TO YOU SPEAKING ABOUT SEEING YOURSELF AS OTHERS SEE YOU AS OPPOSED TO HOW YOU SEEN YOURSELF FROM THE INSIDE. TWENTY YEARS AGO I COULD NO LONGER SEE MYSELF. I COMPLETELY LOST MY IDENTITY, IT WAS THE MOST FRIGHTENING FEELING. IT WAS LIKE I WAS LAYING ON THE FLOOR IN A MILLION LITTLE PIECES AND HAD TO PUT MYSELF BACK TOGETHER. NOT AS I WAS BEFORE BECAUSE MY LIFE BEFORE NO LONGER EXISTED, THE PERSON I WAS NO LONGER EXISTED SO I HAD NO IDEA WHAT PIECES I COULD PICK UP AND HOW THEY WOULD LOOK WHEN THEY WERE PUT BACK TOGETHER. IT’S INTERESTING TO GO THROUGH THIS STUFF AT THE AGE OF 76 AND ALSO BE SURPRISED, AS YOU SAID, AT HOW THE BODY AGES WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. ACCEPTANCE AND AGING GRACEFULLY IS THE CHALLENGE NOW. THANK YOU FOR THIS POST AND BEING SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT AND SHARING SO MUCH WITH US.
Jamie,
I love your suggestion to release what we don’t even know needs releasing. That struck a chord with me; I think it would make a great journal prompt/meditation. I have so many magazine pages pulled, I really should try doing a collage like you suggested and see what happens. So happy for you with your time with your sister. It sounds so heart filling! One present moment after another. A great family focus. :)
I also loved what you said about really seeing yourself. Not just looking, but really seeing and appreciating who we are right now. And that energy of what we put out, how we create and what holds great meaning for us.
What a terrific BTS, Jamie!
Great day to you!
Be refreshed,
Dawn Herring
