Life in Motion

Roots 2020At the beginning of the year I sit and meditate on the year that was.  Last year becomes celebrations of victories and lessons to be used as building blocks. My word for last year is ROOTS. As total lockdown came, in that quiet, unknown space, when all the noise and distractions were put on pause, I discovered that I was on shaky ground. My roots, my foundations, needed reinforcement, needed healing. I found a whole bunch of squatters in the basement of my mind. They might have been there for years, quietly gaining adverse possession of my thinking and my habits. 2020 was a year of tremendous introspective work. A year of evicting the squatters and facing the giants. Looking back, I can see how much damage has been done by said bad thinking, bad habits. How very grateful I am for the opportunity afforded during this global crisis, to  clean this ships’ hull of all the barnacles for the rough waters that lies ahead. 2021- A new season and the word that chose me LOVE. After much prayer and meditation Love chose me. Love is not just an emotion. It is a choice. It requires courage, vulnerability, trust.. Love gives joy… As an artist I often challenge myself to photograph an emotion. So you will find my word in many of my photos this year.. Thank you for lending me your eyes as we journey together through unknown waters. May you be blessed beyond your wildest dreams this year. I know one thing forsure. In times of trouble character is built, innovation and creativity is built, resilience is refined.. Diamonds are grown under pressure… Take heart dear one, together we will find a way, God is still completely in control.
