In my very busy studio I have finally put my tools
away. I am beginning to unpack filling the newly made shelves, deciding what to
keep and what to throw away, or recycle. It is a distraction. I like order. I
like control. I like being able to find what I need when I need it. I am
neglecting my priorities. So today I took some time at the computer to make up
the invitations for my forthcoming show. I was in a hurry as I wished to print
some and deliver a few with the donation of a drawing for a fundraiser this
Saturday. When I returned to my computer this afternoon a very diligent soul
had informed me I had the address wrong for the venue. Sigh. I drew a breath,
cursed and corrected the error. I also resent all the emails and added a few more.
I am still not finished. I will hand correct all those I printed before I mail
them out. It seems to be a recurring problem. It has been a while since I have
formulated the perfect invitation. Perfectionism is a source of dis-ease for
me. I have always aspired to be “perfect” as my heavenly father is “perfect”.
Tonight I read this kind of perfectionism has more to with compassion than it
has to do with flawlessness, a difference between the Hebrew and Greek
mentalities. So with that in mind I stood in front of the mirror and
compassionately forgave me my limitations. Life is still good.
Two upcoming events:
Star of the North Fundraiser Saturday, 25th
October in the Santa Maria Goretti Community Centre 11050 90 St Edmonton at
5:30pm. Tickets are available at reception@starofthenorth.ca
