Happy
Monday! In keeping with the usual, I have a new #MondayinWonderland
for you!
Ok, so
I know I said last week’s was my favorite, but this week’s doodle is totally my
favorite too. Like when you have two best friends! (Except these are
silly, pretty, completely inanimate doodles and not humans. I mean I know art
can “come to life,” but I hope not like that!) It’s inspired by Alisa Burke’s beautiful mandalas and
those Spirograph things! Because that’s the kind of stuff my brain merges
together.

This
doodle relates to a lot of different things in my life right now. I talked last week about my excitement for the future, and using that as a way to stay “out
of the dumps.” Along with that is a sense of newness in everything, which gives
me an amazing opportunity to grow, especially in the ways that I choose to nurture.
The
thing about growth though, is that you can’t rush it. (Unless you get injected
with super-serum or are exposed to radioactivity! By the way, I love the
Avengers. Cap is my fave. *heart eyes*) I know I’m feeling pressure from myself
to just up and make some new, close friends already, but it doesn’t work like
that. The same is true with organizations. I’m a bit (okay, a lot) bossy by
nature, but I’m at a time in my life where following and learning are my primary roles.
And
lastly this applies to my blog. It’s not even a sentiment that’s fame-seeking.
I’m just proud of creating this beautiful, miniature world that’s all mine, and I want people to see
it! I want to spread joy and maybe even laughter if I can. But without a period
of organic growth, would this place even turn into what it’s meant to be? I’d
say probably not. You can’t rush growth or change. You can only be patient and
embrace it.
All
things start with baby steps, and that’s what makes them simultaneously
challenging, beautiful, and valuable when they mature. Whatever growth you are
waiting for, just let it happen as it does! And ya know, make it vibrant! It is
life after all, right? Even the unknown can be a party sometimes!
Stay
lovely,
PS: Here's a black and white PDF of the doodle in case you want to print out and color!
