Building Blocks

No matter the profession, career or just daily living, all actions begin with a decision.  The quality of this decision greatly affects the outcome of the action and the satisfaction derived thereof, basic.  Of course, this doesn’t mean everything will go as intended or turn out as hoped.  Tis is just a given.  The outcome is usually based on the quality of the decision.  That is something we can significantly impact.

So that followers can have a better perspective of how I began to consider a combination of faith, writing and claying, I share by providing a glimpse of how this began to percolate.

I began working with clay a few years back, as a therapeutic activity that would facilitate healing from a life-changing event.  I quickly learned that had to always be more to life than just finding a way to stay busy and pass “alone” time.  My career path, new life direction, almost dictated that I work all the time, well, a lot of the time.  Claying was also a way to let go of the stain of this kind of schedule and stress.  I also soon discovered that the planning, the decisions and the creativity provided dramatic improvement in my self-value. It was a lot more than a distraction.  I learned also that the process from start to finish humbled me in the face of the unfathomable creation of the universe and of humanity by God Himself.

These added insights (growth), over some time became the impetus for me to evaluate the quality of my decisions:  decisions about my life in general, my purpose on God’s earth, how to discipline my actions in almost everything from food preparation, home maintenance, relationships with family and others, and how to derive satisfaction from lessons learned through bombed, really dud, action plans.  Most importantly, I found that I could turn to my Maker to walk with me as I learned the many incredible blessings in my life by looking at some of my failures.

The lessons that brought me here is that I love all of this process/meditation and am channeling  this guidance as a woman who felt like life had turned sour to one that is happy, hopeful and bowled over at the every day miracles provided by my God. 

This is a beautiful world with beautiful people and bountiful grace and love.  I will be sharing tidbits about how these things impact me: past, present and future.
