My Flow

This is exactly how I’ve been feeling lately. It’s taken some time for me to find a certain flow, especially this past year. Change has never been an issue for me, I actually welcome it and adjust fine. But with major waves coming through sometimes it’s hard to get above water.

I always find a way to make it work. Always. And this time I slowly accepted what is and actually embrace it. I believe everything happens for a reason. Coincidences don’t really exist. So I take everything as it comes. And sometimes you wake up to what a blessing something can be.

Sadly, there will always be people who will try to bring you down. They may not do it purposely but they are doing it nonetheless. And my response to that is… No one is going to throw me off track. And no one is going to fuck up my flow. It may not be how you would choose to live your life but it’s the best for me and my family. And something we should all want for everyone is happiness. Positive vibes only.

The sun is shining and it’s a beautiful day. Lately I’ve felt the weather shift a bit and I’m enjoying the cool breezes and crisp air. Autumn is upon us and I’m not complaining. Our veggie garden is still thriving but needs more care. The tomatoes are the only plants producing less but we got soooo many these last few months that I’ve been able to share with others. The cucumbers and peppers are going strong and the green beans aren’t done yet. Plus, we have lots of lettuce to pick and new plants starting to grow, including spinach. This is my happy place. Our garden gives me peace and allows me to be productive while relaxing AND it’s just so gratifying. This process is a life lesson we all need to be reminded of: If you work hard, have patience and put love into something it will flourish and give you many gifts. This applies to everything. And I’ve truly lived it with my business. I put in the time, the love, and the most work I’ve ever done to grow Gray Star Design, sacrificing many things along the way. And it’s all paid off. I am in the midst of rebranding the biz and giving my website a full makeover, which is long overdue. I am restructuring my services and excited to offer new packages. Looking forward to sharing it all with you soon! For now, I am enjoying this view and ready to take on the day. Wishing you all an amazing Thursday.

Space

SPACE has always been something I needed. Whatever I was doing in my life I required the necessary space for myself to thrive. Whether I chose to write, reflect, create, dance, listen to music, sit in silence, go for a walk or drive, watch tv or a movie, etc… it didn’t matter. Within this space I was free. Isolating yourself from the world around you is healthy, acceptable and quite frankly, smart. We all need time for ourselves. It allows us to reflect, wonder, question, and rest. Not only rest our bodies but our mind as well. No one to answer to, no one to consider, nothing to tend to. It’s just you and space. That surely sounds nice, doesn’t it? It is.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The space I am currently creating around myself has been glorious. No drama. No bullshit. No negative energy. It’s pretty awesome. I seriously recommend you take a good look around and eliminate the things that annoy you, piss you off, or straight up drag you down. It’s not hard. There is a solution for everything. Whatever it is you must do, just do it. We all need to rise up in our own way. No one has the right to invade your space. No one. Exist peacefully and all will be good.

Coexisting

I spotted this big guy this afternoon before we headed out to my in laws, he was just hanging around. We got back a few hours later and I went out to water and he was still there. Except this time he was at the top and seemed to be in distress, as if he was stuck and couldn’t get down. Now I’m no bug expert but it really did seem as if he was in need of some help. I watched him for a bit while I watered to see if maybe he would fly away or walk down, something. But he didn’t. He just kept going in nervous circles at the top. I felt really bad and wanted to help. So I gave him a hand by holding one of my bamboo sticks (I use these as stakes) out by him so he could get on. He gladly did and started to walk along the stick towards me. I put it on the ground and he boot scooted away on the grass.

I know this may not seem like a big deal but it made me happy to help this beetle. I’ve never been one to like bugs, they are actually one of the very few things I’m kind of afraid of. But lately, especially since we have started our garden, I’ve gotten used to these little guys being around me more. The beetles, the slugs, the snails, the bees, the spiders, the butterflies, the praying mantis and all the strange looking bugs that live and visit our property daily… they are all special and important in their own way. I appreciate them all, even if some want to eat our veggies. Lol. I’m here to help them thrive as much as I can and give them a place to be free. And the fact that I’m getting more comfortable coexisting with them just proves that when you allow nature to be an integral part of your life and surround yourself with its beauty, magical things happen. Change happens. Evolution happens. You truly see how we are all connected, no matter how tiny something might be. And there is a huge lesson to be learned in that. I am so grateful for what the Earth teaches me. I am just so fucking grateful.
