Art Therapy for Broads Abroad :: Recycle Youself DIY Style :: #10

:: What we are living with is the result of human choices and it can change by making better, wiser choices.::  - Robert Redford

One of the more beautiful aspects of life are the  opportunities to do our best, again!  On a daily basis, we are met with challenges, wearing many disguises, and yet, they can all be evaluated with one simple question - did I do my best?

I have a lovely friend that faced death many times.  Once diagnosed with breast cancer, each re-occurrence introduced trauma, bringing fear into the forefront of her life.  This woman is not fear based, and in fact, she is one of the most positive women I have ever known.  Like many of us in the service field, the last person she was giving to was herself.  She put so much out there for other people she was being sucked dry.  Over a few months, she fought back the beast of fear, did a 360 make-over, and saved her own life.  Pumped full of laughter, images of herself as healthy, and dropping the persona that needed to please others, she reinvented herself and boosted her immune system.   Cancer was the alert, but she was the agent of mindful change.  As grateful as the world was for her devotion, her inner world needed her to do her best for herself.

Doing our best, every moment, is one variable within our control.

This one is for you Sis!  BIG LOVE!  

Today's Secret Message of Love: I am doing my best, only better!

Recycle Yourself DIY Style © News From A Broad, 2012

Materials:

• One beautiful clear glass tumbler (Highball style), 4 oz, or larger
• A cup of dirt
  
• A handful of organic brown stuff
• A handful of organic green stuff
• 2 tbls. water
• Chop Sticks

NOTE: Just like the revealing property of vellum mentioned in Exercise #9, the clear glass tumbler is going to help you see your progress.  You can use any glassware, from a bowl to a vase, just as long as it is transparent. 

 

Process:

• Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl
• Add mixture to the clear glass tumbler
• Add water to the mixture
• Pick-up sections of the mixture with your chop sticks     
• Do that again!

Options:

• .None! 

Conclusions:
Doing your best is a mindful process.  Every day, give the ingredients a toss about.  Every other day, add a new organic scrap or two and a tbls of water to your lovely compost pile.  As long as you balance the green/brown organic matter, add a bit of water, and stir it up with your chop sticks, your compost pile won't stink!  What do you think of that magic trick?  You will be monitoring your own growth, going from the lovely that you are now, to an bountiful handful!  Use the Broad Dream Notes as a guide for processing this exercise.

Create the life you want!
