T is for Treasure

 Treasure
A very valuable object, a much loved or highly valued person, a quantity of precious metals, gems or other valuable objects.

Generally most people walk around without realising what treasures they are or have within them, what a blessing they have been when they interacted with someone who needed that very thing that was said to them, or shared just when they thought there was no way out.

You have so many treasures locked up within you that if you could get a glimpse you would be overwhelmed.  The word of encouragement that you sometimes give, the compliment or smile that reaches people in places deep within their hearts that you don't even realised.

Those ideas and dreams you've been sitting on are all treasures waiting to be birthed, all trying to get your attention, yet you just haven't seen them.  It can sometimes seem far easier to see the treasures locked up in someone else than it is yourself.  It's time to dust yourself off and turn the spotlight within and unearth all those hidden talents waiting to be expressed into the world....what are you waiting for?

S is for Sensitivity

Sensitive -
quick to detect or be affected by slight changes, appreciate the feelings of others

There are times where being sensitive is taken as something to be ashamed of and the individual might be criticised with the label 'they are too sensitive'
In our relationships we have to be sensitive to the needs of others and we hope that our needs will also be considered.  This avoids causing upset and hurt and allows relationships to build.  We should also be sensitive to our environment, not only just leaving it in a good state for the next generation, but being mindful of how our actions impact on the environment.  We can be sensitive to the changes in the seasons, coming out of the winter our evenings are much lighter, the sunny weather and warmer temperatures always reminds me of times of growth.    I celebrate my life today that I can be sensitive to the needs of others and do not regard it as a sign of weakness.  How has being sensitive affected you?

R is for Relationships

We had the private view for the Art and Healing exhibition which brought together a range of artists, art psychotherapists and clients.  My painting is about the relationship I have with my mother as her carer, but the other relationships we have to have to fit the role that we perform at any given moment.  My painting sums up for me how I compartmentalise and manage the many roles in order to have some continuity with situations and relationships that can seemingly change from one moment to the next. 

It was great to see so many people come out and it was a lovely surprise to meet for the first time fellow blogger Hilary from Positive letters, Inspirational Stories   We have been connecting online through our blogs and it was great to meet her in person.  I have really enjoyed her blog and it is also very informative.
The relationships that can develop from connecting on line is something quite special, and my journey as a blogger has been made richer by the many friendships I have been able to make.
