RoseInBloomWhen spring is really here, the first rose blooms. Then light stays out longer.  Darkness delays coming with dusk notifying the birds to go home and the bats to come out.  Dusk is a time I like to sit out on my porch in the silence of the change from light to dark.  It is in the transition that I find peace sometimes.
The stresses of the day slip away.  I forget what I was concerned about as the sky creeps from a silvery blue spattered with grayish clouds to a deep midnight blue with flecks of light that dim with the movement of the clouds slithering past.  It is a practice of 15 minutes to let the dusk roll into night, and the stress rolls off me like the moon orbiting our world.

I'll try to describe it.

When faced with creative outlet, sometimes there are blocks to publishing content that is begging to come out. The stress part for me comes with committing to the form of implementing the creative outlet. For example, I have started many blogs, many projects, and have a myriad of interests online and offline. To focus on one seems to me to be counter-intuitive. In the meantime, I am feeling the stress of going off in many different directions and not accomplishing what I want to, NOT CREATING ANY content at all. I'm seeing the pattern as creating stress in my life.

So, as an answer to stress, I am writing about what I grapple with inside and some ideas that are a solution for me.

What I want to do with this blog is to consistently create content that can help you discover what you can do to relieve your stress.

StrengthMy challenges may or may not be yours but in the sharing of it, I hope solutions come.

Best for now, Mary

Honoring the muse means to me writing about those things that just come up in my mind when I pick up the pen.  There also are times when something won't leave my mind until I write it out.  That is what I call honoring the Muse.  Creativity and Intuition are within us for a reason.  Handling the stress in our lives is one of those reasons, I am finding out.

Enjoy your day.  Honor your muse today.
