Not writing here every day has been a gift and an awakening. It has given me the opportunity to gain some awareness on the value and importance of ‘consistency’ and a chance to reflect on why I write and create, and the importance of doing it every day.
As I reflected on the value of consistency, my thoughts centered around the importance of knowing ‘the what’ of what it is I want to be through everything I do, create and say everyday…
What I want to be each day is inspiring, caring, kind, and loving.
I want to create more of what I value in the world — peace, love, harmony and joy.
I want to give the grace I wish to receive.
I want to be the ripple that inspires a tsunami of love all around.
Reflecting on those things I want to create in the world around me, I reframed my ‘wants’ into a ‘here and now’ statement. In the ‘here and now’, they become my daily intentions, the ‘thing’ I frame my thinking and actions for the day on because I know, this is what my day is all about. This is what will bring my heart peace. This is what will create the more of what I want in my world. And, like writing here every morning, the consistency of my intentions becomes my path. Centered on my path, I become that which I create and what I create becomes me. And in those moments when I fall off the path, I breathe and remind myself, Always begin again. And so I do. And so it is.

LG,
Some adding .. or perhaps counterpoint for you.
What if, as you start to create anything … you just let your juices flow, do, write, paint etc. … without the mental focus – just let the creative process you know so well take you through it.
My guess – expectation and prediction is this: if you don’t harness yourself with “I want to create more of what I value in the world — peace, love, harmony and joy” as a mandate … you will get ‘pure Louise’ product and it will likely touch all those bases.
My thinking, drawn on my experience, is that our best work is often a product of not thinking, not planning, not predicting a purpose or an outcome.
You’ll get the outcome.
It will probably, since you are so authentic, meet those tests.
But it might more-free, not self-harnessed, but self-released …
And who knows what you might create.
Cheers,
Mark
p.s. I predicted you would miss the ‘daily-ness’. Methinks I was right …

Louise, this is poetic. 🙂
And it speaks of everything I too want my life to be about.
You have just reassured me that am not crazy to want the awesomeness of all things life.
To ripples!
