I was going to spent some time working on the TIFC but instead I got lost looking at some of the work that is being created by the 295 people participating in the challenge. It is so interesting to see how everyone is approaching the challenge - I'm in awe of the creativity and the work being produced. Go see for yourself - the Flickr Group or on SharonB's Take it Further page.
Catching my eye today: Linda of
Bilsblog is working on this fabric ArtDeco-styled piece; Dancing Crow is working on this transfer printed felt; Glorious Hats is working on this lovely small talisman; or Kay of Out of the Basement has finished her Japanese Iris.
Living consciously...
This day is all about honoring yours roots. Nearly everyone I know has some "history" with their roots: issues with parents or siblings; what we did or didn't get growing up; or how we cope now! Hendricks sums it up this way we all think we want to let go of our past but it is a part of who we are - we need to recognize their permanence but it doesn't have to rule us! The only thing that can be released are behaviors. Then as a practice exercise he asks to find the one word that describes you. To push the point home you're suppose to think as if you were a willow tree, honor your roots and your branches, stability and standing tall unmoved by the winds of change.
My word is... strong-willed.

If I were to honour my roots the 'strong-willed" would be said as "pigheaded and stubborn" :-)
In many ways, I feel like I have come to terms with my childhood roots but when I look around at blogs (especially around the holidays) I begin to feel a little slighted. I am sure I wasn't but some people seem to have such glowing lives (then and now) that I have to shut it all down and get on with life now. Dwelling in the past (esp of childhood) just makes me mad. Why bother? It's been a long time since my childhood.
