every day is epic if you believe!

My life these days is an amazing balancing act between truly epic happenings and normal day to day life events and I find myself wanting epic every day! Let me explain: I've been on this whirlwind of finding and exploring my purpose and creating a life that is fully expressed, and taking this creative energy into my professional life as well. It has been such an incredible journey, and I'm literally learning stuff every day.

Last weekend Jeff and I began doing my very first hired painting job for my sister. Her and her partner were moving in to a beautiful new house and they wanted a pop of color to make it truly  inspirational and in alignment with who they are.  We ended up painting some very bold colors, doing a faux finish on the Master bedroom and a sweet treatment on a wood feature in the kitchen. We painted the bathroom and the kids rooms as well.  My creative self has been on a balloon ride going higher and higher into the unknown and exciting realm! It was very intense, the planning stage of the project, then putting the colors on the wall and finally hanging up all the items in their home to bring the dream more into the reality. I left thoroughly exhausted and exhilarated.

I loved creating the rooms, and loved even more seeing their reactions once they were complete! It was such a high, and I realize that I'm a dream weaver energy junkie. I live for that excitement, and reaction and cant wait for the next moment that I get to create that emotion for someone else. To be a part of creating inspiration for someone else is so different than anything else I have ever done on a professional level.  I know now why I have always been a gift giver, I love to see  joy brought to someone because of something I have created. I love to inspire and share the passion I have with people.

 My good friend Ronda who I have been friends with since Jr. high school came over last night with her fiancé for dinner and I casually pulled out this quilt that I have been working on. This quilt I took from her house probably almost a year ago, to do some mending on it. This particular quilt Ronda has had since childhood, and so its important to her. I totally get that. What she doesn't get is that because it is important to her, its important to me. I'm a believer in whatever it is that brings you joy, no questions asked and if I can facilitate that happening, I'm in heaven doing it. I had completely redone each of the little girls dresses and hats and am in the process of hand stitching them to the quilt. When I took it out to show her, she burst into tears in disbelief and joy. She was so touched by the gesture and the time I took to care for her inspiration. My heart was so full and I was just bursting with joy myself!

I'm convinced now that what is created in the space of joyful expression, what others see as inspiration, I see as inspiration and feel compelled to create and facilitate and make space for. Its such a powerful force for good things to happen in all areas of life and is truly epic on both sides of the equation. Why would I ever want to do anything else, this is my life's work, and I'm so excited to share it!

I noticed that after the high I felt from the painting job, I just wanted more and more and more! Coming home, sitting in my house, I started feeling the creativity flowing in regards to my own space, and what I can do with it, and how it could be a better fit for our new lives. I started dreaming and finally believing that if I can dream it, then I can create it.

I guess what I am trying to do in sharing this experience in my blog, is to truly inspire my readers to take a look at your life from the perspective of creation, hope, and believe that the opportunities to live fully expressed are yours for the taking. Try it for a day, believe that the impossible will happen, and see what happens as a result of your believing.

In the words of Lewis Carroll "There is no use trying, " said Alice; "one cant believe impossible things." "I dare say you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "when I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

"Whatever you can do, or dream you can, Begin It!" Trent Dimas Olympic Champion.

There's power in dreaming, there's hope in making a wish in the wishing well of life. There is a Master dreamer who wants nothing more for us than for us to be happy and fulfilled in our life, I'm so grateful to feel this in every cell of my being and to be able to share it with you. Let the dreaming begin!
