Yellow Shoe Monday

I had dinner with a friend tonight **Shout out to Dana** and we were talking about the Creative Soulcare group that I facilitate. I told her a story about last night. We had an amazing group last night and during I shared about Yellow Shoe Monday. I created this day because in my opinion you can not have a crappy day wearing bright beautiful yellow shoes. Well because of feet issues and back pains and unsupportive yellow shoes I haven't had Yellow Shoe Monday in a long time. Last night when discussing this previous event I remembered an idea I had about a blog with Yellow Shoes as the theme. I was going to take a picture in any yellow shoes I came across and post/write about the shoes and where I was and what was going on in my life at the time. Great idea and that's all it was, an idea. It never came to fruition. I realized that I have a lot of ideas that are just that, ideas. . . So last night I came home, read a little bit **Book club is Saturday and I am not even halfway through the book. I better get a move on it!**, then tried to sleep. I laid in bed wide awake with lots of thoughts running through my mind. One thought was the picture above of me and my yellow shoes with my Strength tattoo. I HAD to post it. It needed to be done right then, right then at 12:40am. I posted the picture to my facebook. Smiled at the Yellow Shoe Monday memories closed my eyes and was out like a light before I knew it! Tonight as I was chatting with Dana I realized that a lot of what keeps me up at night are creative ideas that flow through my mind that need a place to go. If they don't receive a place to go they just bounce around inside my brain at the most inopportune times like when I am trying to sleep. Dana so gently reminded me that I hadn't blogged in awhile and I realized that was another way to clear my mind so I could sleep soundly. Tonight I decided to start blogging again. I will make no commitments as to how often I will blog but I do want it to be more often then it has been. It doesn't need to be a novel or short story, it can be just a few sentences to tell how my day was, vent about whatever happened that day **Don't get me started on that one right now!** or whatever creative ideas flow through at that moment. I know I have so many unfinished poems floating around in my brain and it would be awesome to get them down and give life to them. . . In essence I am giving life to my creative self.
