Wake Up - Max. Capacity

Woke up to a kitty paw on my forehead, first gentle-like. Then… a swat.

Indulged the unruly kitten. Went downstairs and gave the monster some kibble. I proceeded to remind her of the plethora of toys available for early morning romping and went back to bed. 

4 am - perfect timing for my brain to start spinning…
with should haves, need to, check lists, to dos.
People to contact, emails to write, client stories to tell, projects to finish and start. 

4:30am - the overwhelm coaxes me out of bed, back downstairs and in front of the computer. 

I open Gmail to fire off some quick notes…
error. “cannot send or receive”

Now my options are edit the inbox or order more data… and so the mass deletion starts.

This week’s reoccurring theme has been…
“Make time for what matters. Let go of what does not”
in email, facebook, Instagram, a book I’m devouring, artists group pages, even my yoga practice.

This blog idea… my “what if” Wednesday post
has been rattling around in my mind, my journals,
my thoughts for ages. 

The idea is still in flux – stories to tell, ideas to inspire, humanity to share.
… today’s wake up paw was a good reminder to start, even if you are not ready.

My current situation allows for a lot
but I’ve been filling my life, studio, new home to… m a x  c a p a c i t y.

Now that I have started, I’m committing myself to what matters to me, showing up and sharing a weekly “what if,” with a gracious heart and adventurous spirit.
I’ll share more about what’s with this what if next week.

In the meantime, I know your days may be filled with “have to” and “musts” but 

What if… 
you edit, even one thing and let in more of what matters?

What is your what if…
