Artists live a life of wonder. At times, it’s wondering what to do next. I will not lie, I have been wondering this for the last few months. I am looking for the sweet spot! It’s my favorite place to be in Art. It’s the place where you are working and you don’t want to stop. I think it’s a divine place where God kisses your life with ideas that flow out in a steady stream.

A lot of things can bar you from this place. Looking in the wrong direction, self doubt, self pity, self self self. Ha! Get the point? You have to get rid of the”self” part. If the sweet spot is divine, then you have to seek out the divine.

A few nights ago I had a dream. My dad was in the dream. Someone had driven him to my house. He slowly came up the steps to my house and said to me, ” Bloom“. In a small whisper he said, “bloom where you are planted”.
Then he was gone.
I woke up knowing the “divine” had spoken to me.
No grinding out ideas, just let the divine IN me out… to make the art I was born to make.

A flower does not worry about the bloom. All the coding for that bloom is IN the seed. It simply drinks up moisture from above and the roots go down and the bloom comes.

So… BLOOM today! You were meant to be like none other.

2. If this Blog where a Boyfriend, I'd be Dumped!

Inattentive. Distracted. Bored. Lazy. Tired. Burnt Out. Passionless.

This has been me the last eight weeks. 
Don't worry, theres nothing wrong, it was just to many self doubt, procrastination and focus loss cocktails.

I haven't been writing. I haven't even been reading. But today for the first time, something stirred.

My jolly postman delivered the Dec/Jan edition of WQ , the Queensland Writers Center publication. Flicking through the magazine,I read it cover to cover, and realised that I wanted to write. Better still, I had a new idea and a new project to start. 

I have decided that I will ease my way back into a daily writing routine, fearful of it becoming 'a chore'.

Expect new posts to pop up sporadically, better late than never......
