Stuck

Hello Dear Friends,

Have you ever felt stuck in a place that makes you wonder if you will ever make the changes you need to make in your life to be truly happy?  It's a wonder that anyone ever moves forward. 

Ingrained habits die hard and I sometimes struggle to make sense of the "why"?  Even though I know what needs to happen, it is hard to implement a change of habit.  The old keeps dragging me back to what's easy and familiar.  My heart and soul look towards the possible and my feet take me on the same paths I traveled yesterday.  I will keep my sights set on the possible and continue the journey even though I sometimes stumble on rocks that are strewn over the road.  I still believe that change can happen and being stuck is often part of that process.



I discovered a new magazine that has really touched my spirit.  It's called Bella Grace and is available online or at JoAnn Fabrics.  It's put out by Stampington Company, a company whose focus is on the creative arts and crafts.  Bella Grace is an out of the ordinary glimpse into the creative processes of many women whose inner fulfillment is a result of letting their artistic endeavors lead their life's journey.  There are currently 3 issues available and I quickly picked up all three, devouring every word and reading many of the articles more than once.  If you wish to enjoy developing your own artistic side and want to get a spiritual lift in the process, you will enjoy reading this magazine. 

Time for me to get back to my own creative process.  I wonder how I can create an enjoyable experience of the more mundane tasks associated with owning one's own business.  The creative side is always a joy, while the business end is often a struggle.  Maybe some of you have some suggestions as to how you do this in your own work. 

Let your creative juices flow,

Gloria
