Letting go

Everyday this week I’ll be pulling a (virtual) card from the Universe Has Your Back deck and reflecting on it.


I let go of the shadow of the past by seeing someone for the first time with the eyes of love.

This card feels appropriate for my first day back at work. I also forgot that I don’t have any seminars until next week, so I have a day off tomorrow too. I had a slow day, reading emails and reviewing my various notebooks that I’ve stored around my flat. I had a big clean last week – kinda like a spring clean but at the end of December. I filled four bags with bric-a-brac/clothes for charity shops when they opened. And I organised my stationery so everything is packed away, and I put a lot of unused collage/zine materials into the recycling bin. Because I had so much! Now I feel neater but not as creative. I feel tidy but not informed.

Now when I look at my notes I see new tasks to do, rather than see a reminder of who hasn’t replied to me. When I look at my art supplies I have to think of new ideas, rather than glue/sew together half-completed scraps I have lying around. It’s hard to start anew but I don’t miss the baggage one bit.
