Today was one of those really shitty days ...
I never used to write out of them but I will today ... write as I climb out the other side of some serious sad.
I usually go on a reading-jag, or a find a beautiful movie, or listenhard to music.
Tonight I found all this new music to consider. I'll see if it's some to love.
There was Andrew Belle and In My Veins. Laura Marling. Lissie. Olaf Arnalds, Old Skin.
Sometimes I just need to find someplacebeautifulenough and tonight I found hernameismoon.
I found her site perfectlywonderfullybeautiful. And stayed there until I started to feel okay again.
And I had an idea that everyday over the next month I'll post 3 beautiful things found during my day. Perhaps being proactive about beauty is how it should be.
I noted quotes in my journal as I devoured the new website. I loved ... 10 years from now, make sure you can say that you chose your life, you didn't settle for it.
Mandy Hale.
hernameismoon introduced me to awelltraveledwoman who wrote ... you should not have to rip yourself into pieces to keep others whole.
Wise advice I thought, wishing they sometimes taught useful things in school ... rather than all that other stuff that still involves me finding algebra, and other silly things, terrifying.
Georgia O'Keeffe photographs appear, randomly, throughout awelltraveledwoman's website. It seemed like a place I was meant to find too.
Which reminds me ... Annie Lennox was there as I started to climb out of sad. I was searching for an album she put out just before I flew from New Zealand. The sculptor who moved into my cottage on the edge of the harbour told me of it. She did a good thing, introducing me to Annie ...
Did I ever write of this song? I love it so much at the moment ... Ghosts in the Orange Blossom Air!!
Perfect. It is.
Now, to for the roadtrip so I can play it all.
