The collage behind the glass is made from copies of pages from my \"scribble book,\" documenting the thoughts and feelings I scribbled down about a year ago. Only snippets of those thoughts can be seen now, which allows the viewer to fill in the gaps with their own experiences of reaching. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-no-proof: yes;\"\u003eBut to more fully share the parts of myself that went into this piece, here is a selection of thoughts from the collage: I like coming here. The counter lady knows my name and my regular order. I know that feeling Want to be someone who builds Something every day Struggled this morning Not yet. Not there yet. I wasn’t at full speed on Monday. Preoccupied and off my groove. Calm. Anchor. I belong to myself. I have strength. I have dignity My truest self? My most anchored self Grateful for every day Choose a life of Well, I just did that. Still growing. I was having fun today at the end of work. How will I keep going with that? Am I ready to bet on it? I feel a little disgruntled. Hope that’s okay. Decision made, I guess. Wed: -wrap last pieces? -prep chains? -read -shop online? -watch deadlift video finding my way. Where to go now? I do feel angry. I still don’t know A good moment to be in. Wasn’t expecting the issue to come up. What is right. What is possible. I like my story. I forget sometimes. My life is real. My life is beautiful. Just get comfy? trying to grow into myself. Trying to anchor. A lot of ppl struggle with that. I am enough. My life is here. I do remember. I’m doing well. need my life to anchor outside of work. And anchor inside of me. My heart was feeling raw. Sometimes I feel like I’m not ready. Sometimes I feel so important. Sometimes I feel calm. Solder worked better today. I don’t want to talk that way Then pause? Experiment with the stickers I made? Sometimes I feel tired. A special opportunity. I did my best. Dignity. Strength. Love I am like them. I am enough. Sometimes I just need to be okay with where I am. I think they were beautiful Wonder if I’m taking on too much. A lot of growth. Not easy releasing tension sometimes. needed a break. Some let downs. Some work stress. Some [dog] stress. Some church stress. I am going to be okay. I am right here.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leslie A.
