Scrabble aficionados, how many words can you make with these letters? I threw in a bonus heart for sport!

Grounded for two weeks with an injured shoulder, and then a cold, left me itching for a field trip. A quick jaunt to the Sassy Bead Company took precedence over folding forlorn piles of clean laundry this afternoon. It’s been ages since I’ve visited a bead store – and what a treat! – dazzling colour, shimmering colour, radiant colour (did I mention brilliant colour?!) ..freakin’ everywhere! A beautiful sight for bored eyes. I got in touch with my inner crow. Hell, this bird hit the jackpot.

No fancy beads for me today. Not well versed in jewelry craft, I wouldn’t know what to do with such treasure. (Other than admiring the pretty stash while muttering “my preciousssssss” in low, gutteral tones.) However I did score a small collection of inexpensive letter beads for an experimental crochet project. Dare you to guess what I’m making!

In other breaking news, I bit the bullet and signed up for an 8-week online life coaching program. To be honest, I was initially skeptical and found every reason in the book not to commit. But a tiny nagging voice -call it intuition – kept pressing me to reconsider. Not the same manic motivation that drives me to research or pursue new ideas. But rather a “quiet inner sparkle” gently pushing me to go forward.

Day one. A coaching video and companion worksheet are served up daily for the next 8 weeks. So far, so good. The content is high quality. (*sigh of relief*) No clue how this program will play out for me. All I can do is be open to the possibilities. What I know for sure is that I’m stuck and need help. Clear, concrete guidance to help me navigate my trouble spots consistently, and with greater ease and success.

Not to worry, I won’t weigh down the Museville blog with excessive navel-gazing, or “woo-woo” ideas over the summer. Plenty of private self-reflection, journalling and inner work to do. The internets at large aren’t an appropriate place to share the constant and vulnerable flux of my deepest thoughts and feelings right now. Perhaps I will divulge more after completing the program, when I’ve had a chance to assimilate and fully digest the experience. Creativity is one of the guiding principles of the course. So I may feel inspired to post tidbits of things that I’m working on in relation to my journey. Art? Craft? Sketches? Possibly some writing? – I have no idea how the upcoming weeks will unfold. But most of the fun lies in the surprises ahead no?
