A Personal Thought I Need To Share

Hello my dear friends,

this post is about my personal thoughts these days about blogging. I am not even sure what has made me think of writing this today.

When I started blogging just earlier this year I thought it would be easy. Easy as in I would have the time every day to sit down and share my thoughts, creations and more with you. My mind would just pop out idea after idea and I would be able to create many wonderful things. Reality for me is these days the opposite and even though nobody has said anything I almost feel obligated to try and write something.

My life has become so filled with things that weren't expected to happen and I don't know why but I seem to feel I am not living up to what I am meant to do and this includes my blog. Right now I barely have time to sit down and read your blogs in peace and leave comments. Forget about being creative. My mind is filled with worries and so many other things that have to be done and can't be forgotten.

What I am trying to say I think is that blogging is something that shouldn't feel like you have to because you don't want to disappoint anybody but because you love to share with others. I love to share with all of you lovely bloggers just right now my posts will be few with everything going on in my life. I am working on a few of my creations but I don't know when I will be able to share them with you. I reach out to my creating for peace of mind and rest to take a time out from worrying.

I hope all of you decide not to give up on me and still keep following my blog to see what I will share with you in the (hopefully sooner than later) future.

I hope you are all well.

Have a peaceful and creative day,

Karen B.

I Have A Dream

Hello my dear friends,

I am sure everyone of you has one of these ~ a dream. Mine is a little store just off a main shopping street in our town. It is nothing special, believe me!! I am sure there is no electricity or heating in it. Looking at it, it seems that the back of it has been bricked off some time ago and where the new wall is there is a long crack in the corner all the way down to the floor. I drove down last month again to look at it and it is in a bad state. There isn't even a washroom or a storage room  ~  it really is just one room!

The shop has a front door and a wonderful large window and it's just around the corner of a street called Richmond Row with all neat stores and coffee shops. Right now an old lady uses it to sell over- priced antique and vintage things. You can't even get into the room because everything is just stuffed into it and everything is so dirty and grubby. It makes me sad to see old things just tossed into cardboard boxes and then thrown into a room.

I have a picture in my mind of this shop and how it could look ... I wish I could let you look into my head to see it!! I would have it painted a pale cream color and the floor would be wood. I would have antique furniture to display my creations. I think my favourite part would be the window. I would have the name of my store painted onto a sign and hang it in the window and a small table would display a few items. There would be flowers boxes outside and everything would be bright and pleasant with little pieces of loveliness would be displayed every where inside. (Next time I go there, I will try and take a few pictures of the place.)

Well that's my dream! Reality is that I don't even know if it could be rented in the state it is in. Maybe I will make some inquiries about it, find out who the owner is and maybe even talk to them. You never know, something might come out of it. Maybe if I believe in it my dream might come true one day.

Never stop dreaming my dear friends!!!

Please leave me a comment and tell me what your dreams are!

Have a peaceful and creative day,

Karen B.
