Heart-Felt Living
I have been researching knitting support and have been ‘trying’ different teachers to see what might be a good fit for me. It has felt like I am Goldilocks with the three knitting teachers. The first teacher was okay and yet I didn’t feel it quite fitted, the second teacher was too busy to fit me in. And the third teacher feels a wonderful fit for me. One of my friends said ‘why does it matter so much? Can’t you just go to the teacher who is local?’ and I said ‘I could, and I choose not to’. I spent a good few years ‘making do’ in my life and I refuse to do that now. I want to feel happy and excited about my knitting, and along with that goes the support that I am paying for. And the personality of the person teaching me needs to ‘feel’ right to me.
I have begun to make decisions based on what my heart feels, rather than what my logical mind tells me. To ‘live’ and love from the heart is a completely different way of approaching my life and I’m curious to know where that might lead me. It’s led me to a wonderful new knitting teacher and a new sewing teacher. It is leading me to this continuing ‘healing’ journey and the sifting and sorting of the people in my life. What people do I want to keep and those I want to discard. And its helping me to make decisions that I have not wanted to look at or contemplate. Heartfelt living is such a beautiful concept and I’m ready to live my life with these sentiments now. Oh where will I end up – that’s a fun contemplation to consider!
