Feeling Good Friday- We Need More Beauty

Ever found yourself overwhelmed by life? Ever found yourself drowning in stress, chaos and disorganization? Ever feel like things are dark and harsh? 

Ever feel like there is no way out?

I’ve been here.  For many years after my husband’s death, it felt like living in molasses.  Everything seemed hard. The smallest tasks seemed overwhelming.  The crumbling of my former life was apparent all around me and the physical task of pulling myself above the rubble seemed insurmountable.

I’m not gonna lie.  I was putting on a good game face for the public, but there was a time I wasn’t sure I would make it. Grief and stress are cruel opponents and they were winning the match.

But, there was a fire down inside of me.  Slowly, I began to develop a belief I could make things better.

As an artist, I have always been attracted to beautiful things: colorful patterns, luxurious furnishings, flowing gowns, flowers of all colors and shapes, art and nature all around.  Slowly, I began to bring more of these things back into our lives again.  I began to spend more time waking in nature.  I soaked up the sun, the wind, the ground and the water.  I began painting again. I began to take care of my hair and skin and I kept MOVING. I got more organized and started to insisted on getting to a place of calm and order. Slowly, I began to envision the most incredible, extravagant, beautiful world to include all of these.

I’m not completely there yet, by any means, but I can honestly say that it was a mindset toward beauty and love that began my journey back to more serenity and peace.

We all need this.  We were not made for so much chaos and disorder.  Humans can withstand a lot, but we shouldn’t have have to- not for years on end.

I believe we all need more beauty. I believe we all need more love and calm.  My journey toward these has helped save me.

Find that fire inside of you. Start to build the belief you can have a beautiful life too.  What would it look like to be in flow a little bit more? How would it feel to love your surroundings and live more luxuriously and colorfully in your life? How would it feel to be doing and be surrounded by all the things that make you FEEL GOOD?
