your corner...
December 1 from liz lamoreux on Vimeo.
today, i felt moved to make another video sharing something i just really want you to think about...something i really want me to think about. this idea of focusing on my own corner has really been pushing me lately. i have some projects/ideas/stuff to share in 2011 and i want to let go of all the what ifs and envy and fear and just show up as me and tell my story. sharing these little video snippets feels like one way to do this. thanks for watching. and if you feel moved to dialogue about this idea of focusing on our own corners, i welcome your thoughts...

three other little things:
1) thank you (like big) for all the orders in the shop today. your response to my last post has deeply moved me. i am busy making more "seek peace" necklaces. there is such beauty in the experience of pounding those letters into metal. i have put my hope out into the universe that perhaps we will be able to donate enough to fund one family's stay at the Tree House (parent/family apartments) for one week. this is where jon and i stayed while ellie was in the PICU.
2) i have been receiving lots of inquiries for custom lockets/necklaces. at this time, i will take them through december 8. after that, i will be taking custom orders again in january. if you are interested in a custom order, please just send me an email or etsy convo.
3) i do plan to participate in december views again this year. i love this project. i especially love that there are no rules. this means i might just post another post today...or two photos tomorrow...or maybe just post on flickr. no rules. yes. love this. (let me know if you are playing along.)

That was beautiful--you are beautiful--thank you for sharing that and just simply having the bravery to think those thoughts, to say those words, and to record them for the rest of us to listen and hear. Hugs to you.

I forget sometimes that my story is unique so hearing you profess this really takes me back to what i need to be focusing on. thank you liz! i admire you, i adore your being and presence and I thank God that you are a friend. love you!!

thank YOU. this spoke volumes to me as I have those moments of "worry" like you discussed.
those moments of "comparing". those moments of "am i good enough". those moments of "do i leap or not?"

I am sitting here listening to you speak with big fat tears rolling down my cheeks. It is New Years eve and I needed this right now. This has been something I have struggled with for a while now... comparing myself, my life, my work with others. Even though I am happy most of the time I always see people and start to feel real bad about what I have, who I am ... in my mind they are so much better than I am. It needs to stop otherwise I will end up in a padded cell. I have decided on a word for 2011 and it is going to BRAVE, to be brave in who I am and what I do... and the precious 4 minutes and 16 seconds you have taken out of your busy day to say these words has really resounded with me, has pretty much smacked me in the face, and it hurt and it really needs to hurt to make me listen, so I thank you from the bottom of my heart... thank you. x
LOVE LOVE LOVE this, thanks so much for sharing. You made my heart squeeze wonderfully....because your so right....and I see time and time again that those people with the beautiful corners we look at and envy or want for ourselves only have those corners because those people are fully in it, they are creating their own beauty and abundance. So if we stop worrying about everyone else and concentrate on nutrureing our own lovly-ness our corners will shine out and become full and the kind that others look to for inspiration and beauty.... I was once punished for having a corner someone else envied, for welcoming luck and abundance and positivity in my life, those that envied me (family I must add!) abandoned me because they didn't think I deserved the lovely space I created...it took awhile to bounce back from that negativity but the last year and abit I've mended myself and I am back to fully believing I deserve my own beautiful and bight corner and I am gonna embrace and decorate my own corner even more in 2011....thanks for this authentic and inspiring video:D XO Mandy of Bijou's Whimsy.
