Creative Sacred

I am very pleased to be able to write that since my last post, I have managed to keep to my regime of doing at least 15 mins yoga a day.  Its been easy and pleasurable actually.  I have totally enjoyed reconnecting on a daily basis with my yoga practice. 

I am not entirely sure why I put Creative Sacred as the title.  I was reading my blog list and thought I would check up on a few, this is in google reader, not the blog roll list, and there are a few I had forgotten I had signed up for.  Creative Sacred was one of them.  I remember it was a rather brilliant site by a dynamic young lady from London, who hosted creative salons and the such like.  I clicked on it, but it seemed to no longer exist.  I do recall, now, thinking about it, that she was going to stop blogging.  Which was a shame for me, as I enjoyed her blog.  But at the same time, I am sort of pleased it is not there anymore.  For this one reason only, I LOVE the name of it.  I remember reading that she had come up with it after reading a Danielle Laporte book about finding your words.  or style.  I read it too, and then sold it in a decluttering phase.  I really like the idea, that you chose your style and picked 2 words to give each a sort of dramatic tension.  I think Danielle's words were something like Sacred Dramatic. 

I really wanted to use Creative Sacred as it kind of summed up my artistic yogic thing.  I had other words too, and fundamentally found it bloody hard to just pick 2.  But if I was forced to, then Creative Sacred would have been it. 

I am gearing myself up for my 2 trips.  One to Ibiza with my son, and a friend of mine and her son, a friend of his.  We will be staying with our mutual friends who have a bar in the north of the island.  I am hoping for a relaxed week of warm sunshine and swims in the sea.  I hope its warm anyway.  Bound to be warmer than here, surely, and I do think the sea will still be warm-ish.  I will also be scouting for suitable villas to do a retreat next year.  Which is a plan I am hatching.

As for California.  Oh my.  I am excited and nervous all at the same time.   Hub is getting a bit grumpy and antsy as he is not keen on my going away, bless him.  I wish he were able to come with me, with Bub and we could all hang out.  Well, they could hang out and do other stuff while I did art of course.  Yes Call of the Wild Soul.  Here I come.  I am collecting my art trades, getting the stock for my table, printing out the supply lists and slightly panicking about how on earth i am meant to transport sheets of glass anywhere.....   And planning my reading list for the plane.

And thinking.  Wow.  This is all going to be damn Creative Sacred.  yup.
