(my photo, shot 15 years ago...!)

When going through an introspective phase, (again!), unexpectedly finding yourself looking at photos of your personal life from the last 15 years....maybe it is in the order of questions to inquire if all the information you've fed yourself has been a banquet or a starvation diet!

And even if it might have been a 'bulimic trip'.

This does not only refer to food at all.

It includes all the experiences you have provided yourself with.

It looks at the people you have brought into your life.

It appraises the sounds and sights and ideas you have allowed to pour into your very own and precious imagination!

...from time to time, all of us take this type of essential inventory of our lives...

It is important to be kind to ourselves when conducting 'life mapping'.

We will only find the inspiration and the power to make necessary changes, when we find the point of interest, the focus, the passion, the love we carry within ourselves.
