the lone but not lonely orange

The lone orange
Watercolor pencils
Journal Entry: June 20, 2011

I'm loving this habit of drawing daily. It's like a mini vacation, an instant retreat in a sketchbook. I can take my break anywhere I want - in bed, out on the porch, in the toilet, by the lake...love, love, love it!

I joined The Sketchbook Project! It was a spontaneous decision that felt so right in my gut, you know how that one feels. Will have more news about that when my actual, serial numbered sketchbook arrives. Can you tell I'm all excited?

And that's all for today, folks. Orange you glad I didn't babble too much this time?

^_^
Creatively,
Chiqui

Glossary of Weird Words and Abbreviations

The PYS - The Protective Yet Shaming Monster, one among many gremlins that permeate this writer's existence day in and day out.

TNKs - Tunay Na Kaibigan, Filipino for True Friendships

Wruddy - Writing Buddy; one who shares with another his or her faith in the power of having a writing practice

The100i.s.p.- 100 im.perfect.songs.project. Sung imperfectly. A project. BUT, as one TNK noticed, there's an ever-so-subtle play of points there, just between im and perfect. I'm.Perfect. In the world of song, we all are.

Rinse and repeat - a phrase borrowed from a divine page BFF named Allison. I use it to refer to the cyclical ways of being. Round and round the mountain we go until...we're ready for the next phase of instruction.

We are all meant to shine

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
- Marianne Williamson

“Why do people say 'Grow some balls.'? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding.” - author unknown
