Opening the Gates of Hell

Did you know that the password to the gates of hell is PLAN? How do I know? Because the last line in my previous post was PLAN and suddenly the gates swung open and a mighty tempest tried to blow me in. As the wind picked me up and attempted to THROW me through the gates I grabbed onto the iron fencing and held on tight.

It took days for the wind to die down, but I kept holding on and was finally able to work myself away from the gaping hole to relative safety. Through the terrible tempest I was able to accomplish a few of the things I had INTENDED to do (according to thesaurus.com INTENDED is a synonym for the PASSWORD to the gates of hell. Hopefully it will be safer to use).

I actually spent about 4 hours studying Spanish. This is a GREAT improvement over the last 3 months. I am learning several verb tenses at the moment.

The most fun I had was the Photoshop Pen Tool class I am taking online. This is truly an amazing tool. If anyone wants to learn how to use it just give me a call and I will teach you what I have learned.

I have written my morning pages 6 of 7 days, read chapter 2 of the Artist'sWay and yesterday I went on my Artist Date and saw the MOST amazing chalk art by Julian Beever. (click on the link to see a YouTube video of this incredible artist). I just love how people and objects are able to interact with his art. Here are some of his paintings for you to enjoy!






I spent half of one day organizing my Energy Medicine workbook.

AND last but not least, I read and marked the first 3 chapters of Isaiah along with reading several chapters in the Book of Mormon.

This week I will continue with my INTENTIONS and see what I can accomplish. Hopefully our second car (used by Alex and Addison) will NOT throw a rod through the engine and I will NOT need to be the chauffeur for the family. Also, now that the first week of high school is over, HOPEFULLY the need to release stress will be minimized.

Hey, I'm totally impressed that you got as much as you did done! I mean school starting, cars breaking- I would have totally just thrown in the towel for a week or two. Way to go SuZan!

I wrote a very lovely comment and then it got sucked into the dark vortex that can be cyberspace...
I know that part of it was to say that around here I think 'intend' is synonomous with 'plan' I've had the intention to call you and talk about the pen tool since Thurs. and we both know how that has gone (I mean the me calling you part...you obviously can't be held responsible for knowing exactly what has happened since then seeing as I...haven't called you. I'll just say it's been whirlwind and incredibly exhausting.)
Anyhow it would seem that the best way for me to avoid complete and utter chaos is to just decide to do things when the moment calls.
Good for you for doing so much! That is really incredilbe. Keep it up.
