Reconstruction on the Outside.

I was surprised at how at ease I felt writing and even how peaceful I was inside, how comfortable I wrote my thoughts as they drifted by, as I looked upon this day, as I just seemed to write effortlessly.
Six years later the me that is doing The Artist’s Way is completely different inside than the last time…I have a hard time recollecting the old me.
She was a compilation of her parents, built upon their patterns and beliefs, structured to fulfill their needs, a woman with very little sense of self.
Now my insides are bursting with me, my knowing and fully comprehending who I am, where I came from, how I made the choices I made etc. A woman with her History pretty much figured out, but a woman with an open slate and a big world to explore.
The other thing missing inside is the fear of changing, the dread of trying something new and even appearing silly or a beginner…all my sense of pride is gone, with nothing left to lose, I can only gain.
It is astonishing to me how different I am, the years slipped by and tiny layers of confidence grew on me, so that I am in a much better spot to now add accessories to the new me.
Just as a woman adds to her outfit, I will add to the strong core of who I am, colorful and exciting things, my bling.
I have never been a person to wear wild clothes or trends, to dress with flair and be fancy, but I can feel that I am standing here, in need of a bit of that.
Perhaps The Artist’s Way will change my outward appearance to match my insides…or at least begin the reconstruction on the outside.

    I love your new cover, my daughter Becky was here this weekend and loved the one you gave me. Do you sell them?
    I know what you mean, since reading and writing I feel “me” coming out…(smiling)…and it feels wonderful.

    I am sooo happy that you feel the new you coming out. It will be so exciting to be part of this with you. Yes, I can make one to sell. I have given them as gifts thus far… It makes it so much more special to have a nice cover. I never realized til I had my own. I am loving writing this time, I feel like a totally different girl.
    Keep writing Judy and you will open up more and more to a you you haven’t met!!! She is fun and full of exciting ideas and places to go!
