Clearing Clutter

This time, he didn’t tell me he loved me. On a street corner, I ran into the guy who a few days ago told me he loved me. This time, he was ranting about ‘being slaves to the American dream.’ It wasn’t until I had walked away that I wished I had told him “I Love you.” But I’m not always so courageous.

I have few more things to finish up for my art show this weekend. I’m a little concerned that I still have not heard back from Oded at the gallery. If it doesn’t end up happening this weekend, I will trust in God’s will and know that it’s meant for another time, possibly another space.

It’s not Sunday, but I’m hungry and craving some chilaquiles. I think I will have them for lunch today along with some refried beans and a very cold glass of milk.

#6) Clear Your Clutter With Feng Shui by Karen Kingston. A few years ago for Christmas, my brother, Johnny, gave me this book. Over the years he has shared books with me, but this time, I wondered why this particular one.

I understood immediately; I had ‘stuff’ to get rid of. After all these years, I continue to get rid of ‘stuff.’ Just the other day, after having gone to The Goodwill to drop off ‘stuff’, I came back home, looked around and decided that I could get rid of more ‘stuff.’ It wasn’t easy, but I went back to The Goodwill with more ‘stuff.’ If I’m ever feeling stuck or challenged, I can start clearing out and feel the effects immediately. It’s liberating! In a few days, I think I’ll go back to The Goodwill.

The piece here is titled “Her Outlet #1.” It’s one of 3 pieces from my series of Little Girls: Evolution. In honor of clearing clutter, I choose this piece today because of its simplicity; not every piece needs to be so complicated.

Let it go!
