I've been in transition the past 6 months or so in several areas of my life. I used to be surrounded by people all the time, every day on my calendar booked with social fun, church events, yoga, bestie time, etc. Most of those have subsided as I'm entering a season of working hard to become physically healthy and to make my dream a reality. By clearing my calendar I can focus better on my journey. For a gal that loves to be in the middle of social gatherings it has not been the more enjoyable part of my journey. One thing my God showed me the other day was to not mistake His quietness and peace for loneliness. That just because things are quiet in my world and my calendar relatively empty of social "stuff", doesn't mean I am alone or that it will always be like this.
He has put a quietness and peace in my life that I am learning to appreciate more and more. I can view it as being alone and remain stagnant and make it a plateau that is exit-free, or I can view it as a blessing and act on it by using my time wisely to work toward accomplishing goals. I believe sometimes God remains quiet and hovers a peace on us to allow us to make the next move. I view that as having His favor, of Him trusting me as I take the next step into the decisions I make. And that, my dear friends, gives me warm fuzzies in my soul :O)
The past couple weeks have been busy with having a long time, dear friend of mine in town and then Nanny came for a visit. SO great having them here!! Then I got the news that Nickelbug Designs was admitted into the White Rock Local Market at the Lakeside Baptist Church location YEE-HAAAW!!! (yes, wow, I actually just did that) Needless to say, we've been busy bees getting ready for it (when I say "we", I really mean me and the mouse in my pocket). Feels so great to be working, doing something I love and accomplishing goals...dreamy sigh....
This year is full of wide open spaces! Definitely with lots of room for mistakes (insert credit to Dixie Chicks here) but I am putting my heart and soul into what I love, believing full well that all of it will be worth it!
Lots of Love and Gratitude,
~Cas
P.S. The other night I woke up to Nickelbug mumbling in slumber...I listened closer to hear if she was having a nightmare...She lifted up her hand and said "Awesome, that's awesome" hahah must have been a good dream! Has nothing to do with this post. Just sharing, it made me smile, even at 3 AM
