This was our view today from our dog walk along Carpenter Creek.
Not much reflection today – even though I think I “should” be reflecting. Well, I am and I’m not – sort of and but not quite – and I dare you to make sense of any of that.
Do I want to live on Vancouver Island or do I want to live here? That is the big question right now – not just for me but also for Simon. I think we’re doing our best to be open to both possibilities. And so – we shall see. First things first – this house has to sell – then we have choices to make.
Meanwhile, I have settled on my word for 2018 – Shine! To elaborate – My Fucking Shine (MFS).
But I think I’ll stick with the simple Shine. In 2017, I wrestled with Home – and boy, did that word come up a lot!
2018 is my year to shine. As a start, I have begun publishing my stories on my blog and I will continue to post one a week – on New Book Tuesdays. I have also sent some selected stories to people I trust to read them and give me pertinent feedback. It’s important to me to focus this year on writing – to put my all into it – one roll of the dice – give it everything.
And spend as much time as possible in the alpine.
This is how I balance my life:
Alpine for the soul
Writing for Creativity
Simon for the heart.
And everything after that is only logistics, and we know how to kick ass on logistics! I’m grateful that we share our hearts, Love.
