Day 372 Art Meditation, February 28, 2024

Today the art piece is me and Mother Nature’s Scotch’s Broom, which links me back to my beloved years growing up in Northern Germany. When I see these gorgeous yellow bushes everywhere here in Northern California, my soul instantly connects to my Northern German family, and includes my American Dad who loves Germany and the nature in Germany as much as my family does. 

My life is a work-in-progress, but my new powers of awareness are only 10 years old, it still feels bumpy. Cutting myself some slack with this eternal feeling that I’m not doing it right …  

I got a little derailed recently by walking into negativity, and it somehow makes sense that my body decided to have a fever and stomach ache. It’s good material for my future art memoir however. Writing and making art seem to be a good way I land into my peaceful heart-space.

On a Happy note #1: I have my first paying Member on my website! Gratitude.

My member space is a mutually safe space, a good intention. And now I need to level up, while at the same time working through that I don’t have to prove my worth - that I just AM worthy.

I’m grateful to have created the exercise to open up more and SPEAK - not just writing and editing until it’s perfect. So for my 1 member - I’m sending out a new personal video. 🙂 I know I’m still hiding some, but I’m still growing. 

There is a key point here too about women’s rights: my mother has 1,000 talents and never was paid for a single one of them. It would be so much easier for me to slip into that role, and not bring my entrepreneurial role to fruition. But considering where we are as women today, with more and more rights being taken away, it only makes sense for me to step into my power. My heart space, and hope more of us do.

Happy note #2: I sold my first 2 dresses, which I am over-the-MOON excited about, and I’m trying to figure out how to get us all together for a photoshoot. 

It’s a new kind of love for me. I asked my friends how they think they support my vision and my art. This is not something I can ask my family. I’m trying to step out of the traditional people-pleasing-Pastor’s kid-girl role of being supportive, nurturing and nice - and ignore the fact that it isn’t mutual. I still am those nice things, I’m just trying to integrate and align, even if it’s bumpy…

I am so ridiculously pleased about this All-lines-are-beauitful interactions, because this is something I dreamed of, asked for, beat myself up for = bad idea, but I didn’t delete it, and then when I get the “yes’s”, I think ‘this is what love and belonging feels like’.

And creating a whole new space … Because the more we all are in our Heart-spaces, the more new beautiful stuff comes out … 

Wholeheartedly, 

Anne
