Is There An Enima For Blogger's Block?

The following excuse for a post is almost certain to bore you into a coma. To offset that, I'm gonna sprinkle in some random eye candy to keep your attention.  Because I need your help.

I'm feeling a bit creatively constipated this week.  That's a new term I coined with the help of my friend Stacy.   Last month the creative juices were flowing like beer at an Irish funeral.  But now, I stare blankly at a blank screen, unable to compose a single sentence, witty or otherwise.  To make matters worse, Stacy sent me an email this morning.  I get a nice encouraging email from her every morning and it always makes me smile.  Here's what she said today:  


"I believe as you go through life - if you are REALLY paying attention to your journey - you learn as you go, perfecting yourself as a human to grow and become wiser with each experience be it good or bad. As this happens, your spiritual vibration is raised to a higher plateau therefore drawing more and more high quality people to your inner circle, that is, if you are moving in the right direction. Higher quality people are very hard to find so your circle may get smaller as your vibration gets higher, but quality always takes place over quantity." - Stacy Polidoro (I told you I'd give you props!)

WHAT??  How could she do this to me when I am the throes of a full-blown creative slump!  The nerve of some people.  Being all profound and eloquent while I face the Hoover Dam of mental blockage.  

I'm going to go take a shower now to try to clear out the cobwebs.  That and I really smell from my spin class this morning.  I will be back in a few.  But before I go, here are some of my fave inspiration pictures.

Do you sing in the shower?  I don't, but my man does.  Nothing in particular, just songs he makes up in his head mostly.  It's kinda cute.  When our girls were first born he wrote a song for each one and would sing it to them every night at bedtime.  How.Sweet.Is.That?

Do you ever put something in a "special" place, so you won't "lose" it? Then when you "need" it you can't "find" it?!!!  Like last week when I was looking for this cute tray I bought at Marshalls.  Last time I saw it was Christmas.  Since I couldn't find it, I just assumed it was packed away with the other decorations.  Then yesterday I set the oven to Self Clean (if only my kids came with that setting) and remembered that I had to take all the stuff out of that drawer.  There was my tray.  Huh?  What?   In my brain's defense, I'm sure it seemed brilliant at the time.  

So back to my problem.  Before the well in my subconscious dried up I did a post on the subject of "Forcing".  I talked about not forcing pieces that just don't work in your space.  I'm gonna take a page out of my own book and apply that same concept to my creativity or lack thereof.   I've either got it, or I don't.  And right now, I don't. 

So thanks for sticking with me in this rollercoaster of randomness.  I hope you enjoyed your ride.
