THE BALANCED LIFE
CULTIVATING YOUR CREATIVE LIFE
JUST THINKING

When I first started posting, I would wonder how others could be so honest in their writing. How could they allow total strangers into their lives with no reservations? I find myself knowing the answer to this question more and more as time goes on ... It is liberating, freeing. Shedding the layers that weigh us down. The feeling of being "lighter" ... 

It seems certain times of the year, life becomes clearer. The two seasons that seem to affect me the most are Spring and Fall. Spring always feels like a renewal of sorts - Flowers blooming, Trees start to fill in, Birds are singing once more ... Windows are open, the fresh air smells clean, beautiful maintained lawns, etc ... Nature at its best ...

Once we are through Summer, then comes my favorite season, Fall ...

Lots to see and do before then ...

I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated
