I'm sitting in the midst of all my insanity projects & I think to myself, hhhhmmmmm...with a faint giggle...
I could sure use a goat right about now.
I've been determined to shovel out the office & studio for some six years now. Anyone who has had the sincere pleasure of spending any amount of time in these adjoined spaces KNOW it's a balancing act of papers & art supplies & this & that & oh i was going to give that to so and so and oh I forgot about that & where did that come from? And it's all important.. Ever single box, bag, container. Each overflowing, covered in dog hair & dust--YUK! It's all needed. It's all got a destination or final purpose. It's all just taking up my work space & there as a visual reminder of how distracting my life is.
When we're upstairs & suddenly hear a loud unfamiliar noise coming from the basement, we can pretty much conclude it's one of my many uncompleted, in-the-process, just getting to that, oh yeah, I never finished that pile, of projects, letting go of it place on the counter or chair or laundry basket.. A final shift in weight or a gentle nudge from Corona our cat. Either way, it just complicated an already filled space. It's a vicious cycle. But...what to do. Back to the goat.. Goats fix all kinds of problems! I'd heard of a goat lady...my neighbors might call the city & my children would tell everyone their mother has a goat cleaning out her office!

So, if I can't get the Goat Lady here to clean out the creative space,
I'll just think like a goat! Basic connect the crazy dots, huh!?
Wha-La! As of this week, I have already shredded 14 garbage bags of sh*t!! Yes in deed...it's working! Be the goat.! All these years of start & stop, when I just needed to think like a goat...eat,eat, eat translated into shred, shred, shred. Life is strange and unusual isn't it.. See how associating out of the box results in unorthodox solutions?! Feeling pretty full of myself this week AND I have space to CREATE!!!!!! Maybe I'll recycle, re-purpose or re-used some of the trash & create an inspirational piece. I think I will title it ...
"Prose of Goat....baaaa!"
