It is true we must win the battle of guilt by bravely looking within ourselves to practice what really feeds our soul and brings us joy. It is so hard for me to paint. I just read a quote in a drawing book about the different sides of our brain. Our left (logical thinking brain) doesn't want to let the right brain take over and be creative because it will be left out! I'm going to have to start telling it to hush. :)robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10450002985596176720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-90586696218126561022016-07-31T20:39:16.435-04:002016-07-31T20:39:16.435-04:00You are so in tune with what is right and good!

They always give me ideas to savor and inspiration to make changes. I also find it very difficult to balance the wants and needs. I used to refer to it when I thought of spending money but I can see that it reverberates in many other aspects of our lives. I love the freedom I have now that my kids are on their own (although they pop in and out on a daily basis!). I can do what I please. That makes me have a bit of a battle with the needs because I can choose shopping over a good run, or reading a bit rather than doing laundry. That's my 'guilt'. <br /><br />Your daughter is lovely. Just two years younger than my youngest. They are fascinating at this age. So wise one minute, so vulnerable the next. <br /><br />One of these days we have to meet up. Halfway perhaps. I feel like we've known each other forever! And thanks for a sweet comment today!<br /><br />JaneBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-85812593427985522752016-07-25T10:02:37.208-04:002016-07-25T10:02:37.208-04:00Beautiful thoughts and words.

I had left my former yoga studio when my favorite yoga teacher (who became my friend) left to take a corporate job. I didn't care for the other teachers at that studio. I've been doing yoga at home most every day, but it just isn't the same as a class with someone else leading. I left my comfort zone today and went to a new studio. And I loved it! <br />Happy birthday to Maddie!
