Behind the walls...

Today a new shift in construction is underway up in my studio.

The laying of the radiant flooring has begun at long last.

I have to admit, part of my absence here is due to simply feeling

worn out by having disorder surrounding me, in every room of my home,

for over six months now - not to mention the months preceding

that were all focused on chemo and radiation.

There hasn't been a window of opportunity for me to simply be

in my home feeling the triumph of having overcome a huge challenge,

and to then restore.  Instead I've been in a holding pattern that 

I am doing my best with.

Doing my best often means closing my eyes to the chaos surrounding me - literally.  I nap, even through hammering and drilling and sawing and stomping!
I know there will come a time that I will be ecstatic with my new studio,
I'm just feeling really tired now.
Naps are a good thing!

My hands have not been at their best either,

so I haven't been able to paint or draw,

but I created this little Intention Charm,

to store behind the walls of my studio. 

It's filled with words and images that inspire me,
and will set the tone I hope for in my studio,
and to share with others there.
