Wishcasting Wednesday LOVE: Nourish
Photo taken by my beloved Hansel.
Miss Jamie Awesome, how do you always ask, week after week, the right question that hits directly home? How did you inherit these magical Wishcasting powers?
This week, Miss Jamie Awesome asked what do you wish to nourish?
Nourish.
That is exactly what I have been thinking about. Ever since I decided to go part time next school year at work--and declared to the Universe that I was putting all my heart and energy into Dirty Footprints Studio, the flood gates opened. Now I find myself doing exactly what I intended---I have my new online workshop BIG filling up fast, Art Journal LOVE Letters is still jumping full of energy, there are up coming workshops and retreats happening, and I keep getting painting commissions!! I am swimming and dancing in a sea of total Creative Juiciness and my gratitude is overwhelming.
But, I know myself. I've been here, in a sense, before. Last summer to be exact. And I know what can happen if I don't intercept now.
I can get so lost in this sea of Creative Juiciness nourishing my creativity--other's creativity--and all these beautiful, baby projects of creativity---that I forget the most important thing: to nourish Creative Juicy me.
I find it happening already. I miss meals, I put off my Yoga practice, and I don't take as long of walks in nature as I used to.
So, the fact that Miss Jamie Awesome brought up nourish as her focus of the week...I'm taking it to heart that this is the Universe speaking to me in a BIG way. I need to remind myself something I kept yakkin' about before summer started---and that is "I'm interested in making a life...not a living." A life--and at the core of that life is nourishment--of my soul, my body, my relationships, my home, my creativity. I need to keep the core strong and healthy--for me to nourish others through Dirty Footprints Studio. I know this. I know this.
I know this.
I just need to follow it to heart.
So this week...it's not even a wish...it's a plan, an agenda, a manifesto for my own Creative Juiciness. I will nourish myself....and then share from a center of strength and pure gratitude for this Life we all share.

Those thoughts are fabulous and I feel I should take notice of what you are saying as well. Nourish. What a great word, but usually as women, we do not apply to ourselves do we? You are so inspirational and I so look forward to reading where your nourishment takes you! xoxo
Gosh, I think we are all feeling undernourished. As Connie wishes for herself, I wish for her also.
Do you have a sample of your workshop?
As Connie wishes for herself, so I wish for her also. Nourish yourself, and others.
As Connie wishes for herself, I wish for her as well. It is so important to take of ourselves so that we can do all of the other things we want to do. It is great that you make you a priority at the beginning of your new life rather than when you are already tired. Good luck with all that you are doing.
As Connie wishes for herself, so I wish for her also. And myself, becasue, Girl, you make good wishes !

As Connie wishes for herself, I wish for her, also. I'm so excited for all of the Creative Juiciness you have going on in your life, but please do remember to slow down and enjoy those nice long walks in nature, which is a great nurturer herself! Thanks for the reminder, too! ;-)
As Connie wishes for herself, so I wish for her also. As you nourish others may you continue to nourish yourself as well so you will always be filled with joy, creativity and love.
As Connie wishes for herself, so I wish for her also. Why is it so hard to remember to take care of ourselves when we are doing something good? Just keep focusing on keeping your well filled!

I so love the enthusiasm in your words. Once upon a time, I did a process where for a month I gave myself a present every day. I didn't buy a present...just did something nice for myself. It was very nourishing and fun!
Well said, well said! I suspect more than a few of us resonate with what you wrote. As Connie wishes for herself, so I wish for her also.
