J. has asked, on one of her previous posts, to take the challenge and define your style in one picture.

I have spent hours looking and still cannot come up with just one.

These past two weeks have been a challenge enough for me as it is, I have changed, grown, whatever you want to call it, all I know is that I'm different. They are subtle changes which I'm learning to get used to, it's like learning to walk all over again. So I'm taking baby steps.

When we learn something new, surely we can never be the same again.

So here is where I begin....

A place to welcome the new me

'When you come to know something new, you come

closer to yourself and to the world'

A place to sit and imagine the possibilities

'Creative human thought adds to the brightness of the world'

A place to be still

'The presence of a person who has stillness and contentment

of heart engenders trust'

A place to dare to be me

'When you open your heart to discovery, you will be called to step

outside the comfort barriers within which you have fortified your life.

You will be called to risk old views and thoughts and to step off the circle of

routine and image. This will often bring turbulence. The pendulum

will fix at times on one extreme, and you will be out of balance.

But, your soul loves the danger of growth'
