Sloppy, Messy & MiMi

Today’s card reminds me that it is okay to take a MiMi day. What? You don’t know what a MiMi day is? Well it isn’t a day to honor your grandmother although any day is a good day to that. It isn’t a day to honor your friend named MiMi although I’m sure she would appreciate it.

It’s a day that’s all about Me Me Me! That’s right, y’all. I’m advocating for selfish behaviour today. It’s going to be all about me. I’m not doing any readings. I might not even do any reviews. But let’s talk about what I am going to do and how that ties in with this gorgeous Queen of Wands from Roxi Sims’ Pearls of Wisdom.

I’m taking two classes at once (both are online). One is the Leonie Dawson Creative Goddess class and the other is Joanna Powell Colbert’s Gaian Soul Seasonal Practices. There’s still time to join both if you like.

Each class has a creative component (one more so than the other). So today I’m going to buy art supplies. And I’m just so excited about it. I love color, y’all. Sloppy, messy, in-your-face color that just can’t be avoided. And the idea that I can say, “No, now is my creative time. I am going to get messy”? Wow, that idea just makes me wriggle in wickedly tingling excitement.

Like this Queen of Wands, I will fill my world with images that bring me light and enlighten me. I won’t allow my inner critic/editor time. She will have to sit with duct tape on her mouth while I play and explore this part of me.

OH! I am also indulging ANOTHER creative piece of me. I saw this gorgeous crocheted shawl online. NOM NOM NOM I wanted to get naked and roll in it while chewing on the soft silky strands. WHAT? TMI? Grin, you’ll get used it. This is me.

Anyway, I’m going to take a lesson at a local yarn shop (LYS, babies) to learn how to read this pattern. I don’t do well with the way patterns are written so I feel more comfortable with someone instructing me.

What are YOU going to do today? How can you make it a MiMi Queen of Wands day even for half an hour? Brew a cup of tea? Read a chapter of a book? Watch your bird feeder?

Indulge in you, darlings. You are worth it.

Seek joy, y’all! Pass it on.

  1. Lovely, hilarious post, Arwen. Not sure what made me smile more, the picture of you duct-taping your inner critic or covered in paint, in full creative flow! My me-time today included meditating, exercising and sleeping – not as creative, but all were needed 🙂
