I've been quiet...one of those periods where I just don't have a lot to say here. All is well and life is good but I seem to have lost my voice, here in the written format. I saw this quote from Rumi and it describes how I feel right now. (thanks to Rox at In The Transition for bringing this quote to my attention)
As I wrote the paragraph above, I realized that one of the reasons why I may have less to say here is that it feels as though my voice...my speaking voice...has become much stronger and clearer. I have less fear (and leaning towards none!) about speaking my thoughts...less fear that I may hurt others or that I might dissapoint or be judged. It feels safe to be me and to emanate who I truly am and I know there's no need to hide that. Hallelujah!

I will be back soon with an update on my travels and my painting too...the painting is still very much a work in progress and I packed it up along with all my paints and brushes, to continue on with it in our new Mexican "home" for the month of March.
Adios mis amigos!
I know your written voice will return when you need it to, kate; in the meantime, ENJOY! xoO

I love to hear everything you have to say...I wish you were here to have a coffee/tea with!
I am looking forward to seeing your painting progress...
XO

It's good to develop our audible voice - and perhaps with the sights and sounds of your travels you'd rather spend much more time just "living". Go for whatever feels right. Take care and have tons of fun!

I think it's partly the season too...the lingering dark, the dormant world...for me anyway. Looking forward to all you have to share...

Thank you SO MUCH for this affirmation. The validation to relish my solitude came at just the right time for me. Feels like a cleansing breath of fresh air.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that goes through this. I just spent the last 8 months or so in silent mode. But, like you, it does awaken new things in the real world! I love that you found the silver lining. And I love that you are traveling! Mexico?? Did you spend a whole month in a land filled with warmth and sunshine? I swoon.
