Feelings Bruise

This past weekend I moved out of my studio after 14 years. I have been going through a range of emotions. Last night my spouse and I started looking at pictures from the past. So many different people have come through my life. I mean of course in my entire life, but these last 14 years have been extra special. I have been lucky to share company with others who value creativity and wellness in the same way that I do. Some have remained permanent fixtures in my life, some have not moved into the same chapters.

What an honor!
Creating the studio was no easy job and maintaining it this long has been both gratifying and exhausting. I am thankful to have crossed paths with those I have. A special thank you to each of you.

The piece above is a journal entry for my online journal meet-up today. I lead this group every other week. Our prompt was to choose a color and create a piece in a mindful way seeing where the color took the process. My color turned into a bruise. A "feelings bruise." My body is currently sore from all the work we did yesterday loading and unloading into storage. We will do it all one more time when the new studio is built. My heart also hurts. Walking out of the space yesterday was hard. I still have to go back and clean and take care of a few more details, but it was a goodbye. My piece is a culmination of my feelings and love around the transition in this art bruise.

I hope the next 14 years in the new space connects me with more creatives who share my vision.
