The piles take over. The books stack up. The scrapbooks stay on the shelf, unfinished. The sewing machine waits to feel the love of hands on fabric again.
Notebooks sit on the writing table, empty or half-used. Words hang on the edge, ready to be strung together and brought to life. Thoughts run through the brain. Eyes scan and the mind takes everything in. Every single thing.
And the heart? The heart is easily overwhelmed. Distracted. Tired. Tired of all the pieces and projects being undone.
Where does one begin? How can any real focus be found?
Slowly order is restored to every corner. The desk, the bookcase, the writing corner, the sewing nook, the coffee table. Any little space.
Creativity returns. Piles removed. Projects reconsidered or restarted. Inspiration rediscovered.
And words fill another page.
Heart refreshed and ready to continue.
Laura, you make it sound so easy! For me, it is finding the place to start in the first place. I loved your thoughts, thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks, Patricia! Not quite easy for me either. 😉 The process takes time and I don’t always know where to begin either. But I love the finished result of clearing the clutter and seeing intentionality with my spaces!
With heart refreshed, I loved hearing the words ready to continue. Lovely post Laura wishing you many happy days filling the page.
Ah, yes. I’m still moving slow with the writing this month because the sorting and finding order continues as well. All good and needed. We need the space to create…in our homes and hearts. 🙂 How is your art? And inspiration while it is cold there?
Laura I am stripping my picture book apart, it needs work. I am starting a new editing course for my novel. Building a collection of art to sell online. Life is sweet and I am learning many lessons.
