Phew, I never thought this project would get as intense as it has seemed in the past couple of days! Today's theme is a particular challenge because finding my "heart's desire," is an issue that I deal with on a daily basis. I don't have any real direction in life and if you would have asked me this afternoon what I really wanted, "nothing" would have been my response.
In order to get motivated today I enlisted the help of one of the most creative people I know, my friend Nicole. I asked her how I was going to do this when I had no idea what my heart wanted. Thinking outside of the box, as she always does, she suggested photographing something that would symbolize my struggles with this question.
I sat down this evening to do just that. I was going to make a wall of post-its of all the things that are keeping me from my dreams, except..when I started to write my hands (as they so often do) just took me to where I was going. A bucket list of sorts. The hurdle I leapt, was getting passed the idea that I could want just one thing out of life, I want a lot. And instead of the 'nothing' symbolizing what my heart's desire is, it's a one word response to the question, "what's stopping me?"
