First 3 Years of MyShadowProductions Blog - MyShadowProductions #134

Hello everyone, still there?

I haven’t Posted in a while, just haven’t been “Feeling IT” !!

Just a side note, 3 years ago on April 29, 2020 I published the first Post of MyShadowProductions. You can see it here! (Obviously, I did not know how the “Live” photo setting on the iPhone camera worked, hope it doesn’t make you dizzy?)

In an effort to get re-started, I have reminded myself of an excerpt I read in the book “The Gifts of Imperfection” by Brené Brown that was a big part of my initial impetus to “do a blog”. 

Here it is from page 53, middle of third paragraph:

“…Our unexpressed ideas, opinions and contributions don’t just go away. They are likely to fester and eat away at our worthiness. I think we should be born with a warning label similar to the ones that come on cigarette packages: Caution: If you trade in your authenticity for safety, you may experience the following: anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addiction, rage, blame, resentment, and inexplicable grief.”

Maybe a little too harsh? I don’t really think so, for me I can see how it rings true.

Here is a LINK if you want to read the first 40 pages of her book :)

Anyway, I started the MyShadowProductions blog in April of 2020 during the start of the insane COVID stuff.

Prior to that I had tried to share some travel photos and thoughts on JOURNO. You can CLICK HERE to visit those posts.

A few “themes” that I have tried to keep in mind along the journey have been:

Spring is here again

New growth, colors, warmth, sunshine

Time to move forward

I continue to keep an open eye, ears and heart for other Posts, not sure where that leads, but hopefully I can find “IT” to photograph and share.

By the way, Spring is Springing, albeit rather slowly, but here are a few early signs at, you guessed it, the Denver Botanic Gardens:

Always interesting what might be visible out my apartment window and nearby streets:

March 3, 2023 8:30am East High School Student March for Safe Schools to the State Capitol (crowd about 3 blocks long)

Car bombarded by the Murder of Crows in the Neighborhood 

April 18, 2023 4:30am Emergency Response to something.

What? Why? I don’t know!

                            Happy May !!

I am grateful for my many Imperfections:)
