What if

What if I do a deep dive into my shadow?  What if I accept all my anxiety and fear?  What if doing that makes me whole?  Or feel enough?  I have long held the belief that I should cut away my darkness.  How idiotic is that?  I think I need learn from it not get rid of it.   Can you ever truly get rid of it? 

What if

What if I base my success on how my art has enriched my life and how I felt when I created it?  My art adds value to my life.  I add value to this world because I am a better person for making my art.

What if

So, what if it is okay to tell my story?  What if by telling my story I inspire or help someone?  Contributing to someone's well-being means a lot to me.  Can I be brave enough to open up and thereby help someone?  I am willing to try.

What if

What if we learn to rest?  What does that really mean?  Is there an element of trust to rest?  I think so.  Trusting that all will work out, be okay, be provided allows me to let my shoulders drop, breathe deeply and know that I don't have to strive.  So simple!

What if

What if I slow down?  What if I just remain calm?  What if I yield to peace, sweet peace?

What if

What if I remember to write on this blog!  I have some ideas and hope to follow through with them here.

What if I love and accept myself more deeply?  I believe I am improving at this and feel that it is spilling over into accepting and loving others more.  Especially the others that are more difficult.
