My Pot is soooo Empty
I know Paint n Sips have been around for years but for some reason I’ve never been to one.
It could be the fact I’ve never actually painted anything in my life beyond the paint with water books I had as a child. (Remember those? They were so cool!)
Or that I don’t often get time out on the weekend with just my girlfriends and no kids… but I was super excited when we booked our spaces 🎨
I started painting (our goal was a vase of sunflowers 🌻 one of my favourites!) yet I just couldn’t make it happen.
The flowers looked weird, and what should have been bringing me joy just, wasn’t.
I was feeling depleted, my period was due in three days. I’d been working lots of hours that week and my pot was literally empty.
Luckily I have smart friends :)
My girlfriend reminded me that we didn’t have to follow the rules. I didn’t have to paint flowers if I didn’t want to. This was my creative expression and it could look however I wanted it to.
So I mixed up some more paint and I painted over them.
So I erased them, and the pressure I was putting on myself.
And it felt good to let go, to not keep pushing.
To just allow myself to create how I feeling, not what I was supposed to do
In fact I think that was my favourite part, mixing and playing with the paints. Creating colours that reflected my emotions and brought my soul joy 💖
Acknowledging our cycles and the energy they bring, whether we still menstruate or not, is an important part of living within our sacred feminine.
Do you track and honour your cycles?
Do you work with them, so you don’t have to fight against them?
I hope you have a beautiful week 🌻
As always with love + gratitude,
Lia Skye xoxo
