Shed Project

Today I started the "Shed Project".............

Idea of this is to shed some things from your life, could be physical or mental..whatever you like.

The idea is one I have been always doing but on a small scale.  I want to go deeper and want to get some weight off my shoulders.

Scared and Excited is all I can say, because I know the emotional
attachment to things I have.

First 3 things we have to do is
Clean out purse that's easy I just bought a new one
Clean out car
Weigh yourself........uh oh I have not done that in a couple years.


Glove compartment, backseat and the trunk. I didnot think there was that much stuff in the car, I haven't had the car that long. Trunk...... that box in there, completely forgot about it. Surprises already.
Now just to weigh myself..............

Assignments not too hard so far.......but there is more to come.

Last Sunday I started the "BIG" course with Connie Hozvicka http://www.dirtyfootprints-studio.com/ , she is so amazing.  Connie knows her stuff, seems like she is just one step ahead of  my inner critic.  Love her approach.  Before my brush even touched the paint...so much came up. 

 Then all the wonder tribeswomen,  well they are absolutely inspiring. ♥

Connie was not kidding when she said that there was alot in this course!!

So much is changing this week...
I'm happy, sad, mad, crying, intoxicated (not with the drink)
 but maybe a little wine might help,
excited, inpatient and and the list goes on and on.
I am quit sure it is going to take me awhile to really understand
what is happening and this is only the 1st week.

Better fasten my seatbelt,
I have no doubt in my mind this is going to be the best
rollercoaster ride I've been on in awhile.

This is Jack my painting partner,
 he sleeps in his little bed while I paint away.


The first exercise was scribbling......
.a few days later I look at this painting,
I see all the walls I built up around me.
Perfect little boxes.

What is really funny is......
 that is one of the things I wanted to break down.
I wanted to break a few bricks or walls....hmmm!



Then I did another aaannndd...
to me it seems my boxes and bricks are
started to stir up....like little tornadoes.
Wonder what the red in the corner represents?
Maybe that answer will come later.
There is greener grass.....

I called this - INNER BLOCKS
