What did I do for my creativity & passion? I have restarted writing, one of my passions … http://poetwhispers.wordpress.com is my new poetry blog where I am keeping track of mostly my new poems. I remember last year when Gitz had You:Create, and I had said that I would write …. it’s taken a year, but I have now started ….
From that, I am going out more (was hiding at home in my pain over the last year, and before that was so wrapped up in family and other responsibilities that every time the monthly poetry readings I used to find so enjoyable would come around I would beg off and never go. Instead, I am reciting again, and it’s even kicked up a notch – I have already been invited to perform a couple of my pieces at a show, and I’m doing it again this Sunday. So, in launching out, I have done wonders for my self confidence and my creativity has been given a boost as well!

Just to say my ‘n’ sticks … I was trying to put my Twitter handle before the keyboard went crazy heheh @bajanpoet is my Twitter handle for those who are interested :)
Alece, just a thought – the website remembers all the rest of my information so that I don’t have to put in my name, email and website all the time – could you set the Twitter handle the same way? mkaythanks :)

Today?… Uh… Nuthin. I creativitied myself out over the weekend cake decorating for a baby shower ;)
I pondered on something I think God has called me to, and made some notes… Gathering my thoughts.
I finished writing a post on beauty that has taken me 2 weeks to write.

Today… so far I have exercised (while listening to some great tunes) and enjoyed the pseudo-silence before I get the girls up to start their last week of school – keep in mind that it’s only 7:15 here though. :)
The plans I have for the day though… go watch my 9 yo’s presentation on a Red Eyed Tree Frog, and stay for lunch with the girls at school. I also need to prep for next Sunday, which means a couple of hours spent in the bible… and then there is choir practice tonight (a new thing that I am TOTALLY LOVING!!!!)
So the day has already hit on the body & some on the mind, with plans for the rest before the day is through.
Thanks for making me think about these! I don’t always make it through the whole list each day… unfortunately there are entire weeks that I may not make it through the whole list!

my spirit…refer to ‘my mind’.
my relationships…at bux with you. best of bonding.

my mind: taught a class i wasn’t terribly confident doing.
my body: ran on the treadmill during my lunch break
my spirit: prayed while running

my creativity/passion: hmmmmm……

It is funny because for the last couple of days my dad and i have been talking with people about what they are doing to take care of themselves. We have repeatedly asked some of thse same questions and now the tables are turned and well i guess i better practice what i preach!
right now i feel a sense of accomplishment that i got out of bed, put one foot in front of the other, did what needed to be done, and didn’t have a mental breakdown in the process. even watched a movie with my mom. and laughed. out loud! so yeah, i’m feeling pretty good about all that. it’s been a tough couple of weeks!

Mind – read this blog
Body – played church league softball
Spirit – read Beauty for Ashes (http://marykathryntyson.wordpress.com/2011/06/21/now-you-see-me-part-two/)
Relationships – hung out with a friend to the wee hours of morning. Usually see him one a year.
Creativity – still thinking how to be intentional on this
Passion – still thinking about what to do
Mind and Spirit – I meditate every day to clear my mind, then focus on filling it with the great beauty found in the world around me, and as many joy filled experiences as I can. Spent many hours over the weekend filling it with the joy in music like that from the Talking Heads “Stop Making Sense” concert film, and Natalie Merchant’s “Wonder”, “Carnival” and These Are Days”
Body – Stretching exercises every morning. Power walking at the beach and park. Eating healthy food, which means a healthy portion of bacon everyday.
Relationships – Shared some bacon pizza with retired buddies Saturday. Spent some time on my neighbors deck doing absolutely nothing.
Creativity – My blog and Facebook posts.
Passion – Danced (see Mind & Spirit), laughed with friends (see Relationships). Watched the squirrels, and kids, playing at the park. Put as much passion into everything I did as I could. I can put a lot of passion into frying bacon.
with the bacon comment, i think my husband could be your bff :)
for my mind? well, I read all kind of stuff on educating my kids
for my body? ay, drinking water right now
for my spirit? well, I have been trying to read a book called “Lies Women Believe”, and keep failing…. sigh
for my relationships? Well, besides the fact that I spent over an hour in text conversation with one of my closest friends building her up, I also spent quality time with my kids outside in the pool, and in the courtyard swinging them and playing. :)
for my passion/creativity? I haven’t…. but I am trying to organize my life so I can be more able to do this…. excuses, excuses.

Good things to think about…and come back once the day has started afresh. :)
@traceepersiko says:
i probably should take of all of that in me better, but today i’mma go to the gym which helps both my wanna by cammy d’z, and my mind.
Trying to choose to hope today to help my heart. Struggz in heart. reading proverbs has been helping, and always rocking some music.
I hope i am doing something for others, although I would like to do less for others in customer service, but still hoping others are feeling valued and loved by me. Little encouragement shouts.
creativity….dreaming new things up.
@onestitchrachel says:
Oh, good questions! And good ones to reflect on each day!
My mind: My daily crossword
My body: I ate lunch at home and I’m trying really hard to ignore the ice cream in the freezer that’s calling my name =)
My spirit: Nothing. And I’m feeling it.
Relationships: I didn’t’ get mad when hubby came home 2 hours late from work. I played with the kids instead of doing chores. My sister is visiting, so we’re having lots of girl-talk fun!
Creativity and passion: Feeling a HUGE shortage of creativity and passion. Which I always get when I forget to feed my spirit. :/
@coffhaus says:
Not sure where this applies too, but it probably covers a couple things: I had communion alone in my home. Was stressed…very stressed and decided to have some time with the Lord. I recalled 2 people within a week suggesting having communion with Lord with a cookie instead of the traditional bread or communion cracker/wafer. So in a moment of “why not” I grab a freshly made peanut butter cookie and a glass of water.
I sit down and began to speak to the Lord, joking around, when I realize the cookie represented the sweetness of what Jesus did on the cross. I realized how in taking away everything else He left what was sweet for us to enjoy. So I had some tears and rejoiced in a new found freedom. Jesus is so much fun!
i LOVE this idea! thanks for sharing it
mind: i’m learning all the bones and the circulatory system
body: i got a massage
spirit: i spoke with a dear friend, sat in the sun, prayed, and worked on my memory verse
relationships: i handled a conflict with my husband in a healthy, right way
creativity & passion: no time for that right now, but i do use color and drawings in my notes and studying whenever i can! it really does help me learn.
Great questions. I am finding that I am not doing nearly enough to care for myself these days. Not feeling productive but also recognizing that I have just come out of a busy season and am seeking rest. That being said, I did do some creative things today and feeding my passion and work. I had a lot of fun doing web searches for work and blogging purposes.
I did some exercise and did some hanging with the family – I need MUCH improvement in this area.
Thanks for posting those questions – I’m new to your site but enjoying it so far!

Today I had the privilege of baptising four people. Each one with a powerful story, each one so precious. We had a young girl of 13 who is on anti-depressants due to abuse who accepted Jesus one week ago and was baptised today along with her mother, a man who has been sober for 54 days and a christian 46 days, was baptised too and finally a man who renounced the devil this past tuesday and gave up being a satanic priest was baptised today too. So what did I do today for my:
Mind: I told myself that what I experienced today is not your ordinary, average thing. It is so amazingly special and I should never become familiar what God is doing in our church.
Body: I ate one less cookie and an extra helping of salad and the BBQ after the baptism! I recognise that my body needs to be strong and healthy if I am going to love and support the people that God has brought into my life.
Spirit: I worshipped with all my heart and gave thanks with every fibre of my being because God is alive and well and working mightily right before my own eyes!
Relationships: I humbled myself and apologised to my husband for being unreasonable before church this morning…. and most mornings before church… why do I do that???
Creativity & Passion: I wrote this comment to share with you :)

I cannot seem to figure out to subscribe by email to this blog….. Help. please?

I took 20 minutes and sat outside on the porch with my 8 year old and shared the headphones to listen to her music– justin bieber, hannah montana, selena gomez– good girlie, adolescent stuff. And I had the grace of entering into her world and I let her drink her own diet sprite and it was a really, really fantastic 20 minutes of my day.
Thanks for the prompt, Alece. :)
