Sketching...

I know I've been gone awhile...a long while...

You know how sometimes you just really need soul searching time? Time to get back to basics and try to figure out what direction you are heading?

Taking time to reflect and then slowly get back into the swing of things.

That is where I've been...just trying to take things slowly and get back in balance.

I am reflecting on a lot and changing things that need to be changed.  CHANGE is my one little word for the year. For one, I am working hard on changing my health. Now I have been on diets before...but I am looking at it in a whole different way this time and it is working! (I've lost 6 pounds in Jan.) I am looking at it as a life style change and not a diet. One reason I am looking at things differently is because of this FUN lady...Yep Cathy Z is part of the reason I am thinking differently. Her Move More, Eat Well class over at BPS is definitley the boost that I needed. I will say that I do think I was READY to change my mindset this time around, and Cathy's class is great extra support in doing just that.Thanks Cathy and all the other wonderful people in the class giving support! Now if you have never visited Cathy's blog or taken a class from her, you must! She is so stinkin' funny and makes me laugh so hard! It is not too late to join in on her class either! So if you are thinking about making a health change...I highly recommend Cathy's class!

I am also working on my creative self. She seemed to just drop off the face of the earth for awhile. I guess that happens but I missed her...I missed her a lot! I am doing some things to get her back though and she is making appearances. I am taking Alisa Burke's, Sketchbook Delight class to help me get back in the creative groove and to try something different. I'm not a big sketchbook person, but have always admired Alisa's work. I would like to try to do more sketching to just play and get my creative muse back. The sketch above was inspired by Alisa's class. I was getting ready to go to bed, but then made myself sit down for just a few minutes to sketch...and 30 minutes later I had a page that made me smile!

Great way to end the night. I hope you are having a great night...I hope you are making some time to be creative!

Sweet Dreams,

Cindy
