"Child of mine, I will never do for you that which I know you can do for yourself.
I will never rob you of an opportunity to show yourself your ability and talent.
I will see you at all times as the capable, effective, powerful creator that you've come forth to be. And I will stand back as your most avid cheerleading section.
But I will not do for you that which you have intended to do for yourself.
Anything you need from me, ask. I'm always here to compliment or assist.
I am here to encourage your growth, not to justify my experience through you." - Esther Abraham-Hicks

This s a big night for us because we usually watch DVDs at home; but, my husband is a big fan of the Hobbit and the rest of the story; we decided to see this one on the big screen.

All I can say is it was well worth it and they leave us at a cliff hanger. So, there shall be another movie coming out next year or the next.

DH says they tweaked the story line some but it was okay but the rest of the story they held true. The graphics were stupendous. I felt I could reach out and touch them. Many times I was on the edge of my seat. Or gripping DH's knee so hard he had to remove my hand. Granted it was two hours plus. Make sure you don't drink much prior to and during the movie as you don't want to miss a thing.

I'm going in.

I have had this sweater pattern that I knitted so far and then got hung up on some of the directions and it has been sitting in my knitting bag for a couple of years now.

Today, I got on-line and looked up free knitting patterns - easy patterns - and found one to my liking. It will ultimately become a scarf. This one I shall keep for myself since it was to be my sweater in the first place. After this one, if I like it, I shall make more for gifts for my friends and family.

This is a part of Part One in getting back into creativity and to quit purchasing "stuff" at the store when gift giving comes around. Now I will have handmade items to give.

Art 101

With my new journal I am working on writing my words and having art through out it. So far I have had fun with it. I am working on an actual art piece that I am feeling excited and anxious.

Perfection is surrounding me and wants me to stop right now.

It knows what I do won't be perfect so why subject myself to such an event.

Then I remembered to breathe. Breathe three times.

Then do the next part of the piece and remember to breathe.

I may not get it done today but I have started and that is good enough.

Just like beginning the sweater and now it is taking on life to inspire me not to stop creating.

"I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again." - William Penn, English entrepreneur and philosopher
