I woke up this morning for the first time feeling like everything is going to be okay.
It's been 2 months since my husband moved out. I've been waking up every morning with amnesia and have had to remind myself of my new life.
This morning I awoke in my room and saw this beautiful burst of sunlight and flower pins and hairclips that I had hanging and remembered what I loved. What inspires me. What makes me get up in the morning.
In writing my Painting book I realized that I was writing medicine to myself, my future self. As Helen Keller said:
My husband and I had a beautiful and complex relationship where we loved each other and were artistic allies. There is so much mystery to people. There is so much that I won’t understand, but what I do know is that we must continue to “show the world our magic” and align ourselves to our own truth and aliveness.
Today I decided to paint my own magic for the first time in my studio in months and it felt AWESOME.
I realized while writing my book that what you put on your canvas is really a mirror for your life. By being daring on my canvas, my life broke open in a new way and is waiting for me to begin.

loving you every step of the way.
xoxoxoxoxoxo
I am so sorry to read that and impressed with your bravery to share. By you expressing that you have comforted others today. xo
Dearest Mati Rose,
I have held a high opinion of you since I first stumbled upon your art a couple of years ago. Your bravery just adds to my respect for you.
Wishing you lots of magic, love, and healing as you travel a new path.
xoxo,
Lisa
U matter. your art matters.
We all love you and support you.
You are strong.
You are brave.
You are a miracle.
Believe in yourself again dear heart. Believe in yourself again. xo hugs
Yes, it is going to be okay. You are an amazing woman who inspires me in so many ways. I have always looked up to you and I still do. xo
Mati, that was a brave post to put up there today, and I am so so sorry ... but also glad to see that you were able to go back to painting today ... I hope you find a wonderful new chapter is just beginning for you. x
You've been in my thoughts a lot lately. I had no idea why but you just kept popping into my consciousness. I'm sorry to read that you've been through such a rough patch, but glad to see a peak of optimism in there amongst it. Yes, show the world your magic. It's such a gift. Cxxx
Hi Mati- Glad to see a sunlit post on your blog and hear about your inspiration through disappointment and sorrow. I think about you often. Take comfort knowing that a "village" is rooting for you. Love, Mary
i love you dear friend. i believe in your magic! keep shinin'
i love to see rainbow colors in your studio.
Just now catching up on this blog post and my heart goes out to you, for your current sorrow as well as to celebrate the beautiful spirit you are Mati! Of my memories from my first Artful Journey retreat, YOU stick out most for your humor and genuine kindness and I know those qualities will continue to guide you through this new phase of your life =-)

I understand...and am holding the curtains wide open...for the light to shine in and warm your soul....much love to you..."YOU" are FULL of wonder and magic...peace to you as you heal and grow...AM
Dearest Mati, Thank you for this brave post. Yes, everything is going to be glorious...but it may take a while to feel it more than you don't feel it. Be good to yourself and lean on these kabillions of people who love you. xo
your particular brand of magic is wonderful.. it makes me smile to see your lovely sailboat painting on my wall. take care.
Sweet Mati, I'm so HAPPY to hear you are in this illuminating place -- it IS all going to be okay. It will be far more than okay. I love what you write about aligning with your truth and aliveness and painting your own magic! Your life will indeed break open to magnificent experiences -- your future self knows this. xoxo
Dear Mati
I am just sending you a big,enormous hug around the world. I just know you will be ok and you'll overcome the sadness. Promise.
Oh, Mati! I am so sorry to hear this news. I, myself, have been separated from my husband for over a year and it's been a journey to be sure. If it is any comfort - I will will say, it DOES get better. Sending you good thoughts.
This brings tears to my eyes, but I know you will pull through... your strength is something to admire. Looking toward the future... X
So much love for you. You are standing on the precipice of change and magic and a new path and you are correct...all is right. It is as it should be my love.
I separated 18 months ago and I'm telling you, even though you feel like you might burst into a million pieces and melt away into nothing, the sun still shines and the birds still chirp. Keep making happy elephants and smiling suns (like the ones I saw at Pier 1!). XOXOXO
Dear Mati, It is a beautiful post! You are so brave and inspiring to share. Everything is going well for you and your magic painting. Sending you good thoughts and ((hugs)). Enjoy the beginning of your journey! xo
You are such an incredible, strong, resourceful friend. Excited to see what your new life will bring! xo Sending love your way...
that sounds good...
be strong

so many words to say and when I type them they do NOT come out right.
I hate that.
I've always loved photography, since I was 13 but when I got divorced...my heart seemed to find another way to tell about my life when I couldnt or wouldnt find the words.
may your story find its way out of you in every way possible.
sweet you. just making the blog rounds and came by here to see what you might be posting. and here you are letting your big beautiful light shine. a big beautiful life. yours. yes it is. love & light to you.
Hey
mati rose
Fairly refreshing piece! I enjoyed reading your article. Many thanks
My heart hurts reading this. BUT I'm feeling your sense of empowerment and wishing you more strength as each day comes.
I'm looking at this old post, your most recent post, and hoping you are doing better. Keep painting and creating, and keep sharing. This is a great community of artists out here who love to hold one another up.

I just bought your book Mati and wanted to let you know it arrived today and I'm reading and loving it and can relate to it. So I thought I'd let you know this - I'm sorry to hear you're having to go through this awful time - I've been there unfortunately and know its not nice - suffice to say, one day you will come out the other end of the tunnel. And the journey will be over and you'll be at your destination.
Very nice blog, thanks for sharing.
I came here for the first time today from Martine's blog and I'm so sorry to hear about you and your husband. I am also very HAPPY that you're painting! I too have just started a new big canvas after a very long time of doing tiny tiny work. It's very liberating and so true what you say. Thankyou for sharing such inspiration! :)

Mati Rose, I found your blog via Kelly Rae Roberts and I love your artwork! Keep following your heart I can't wait to see more :)

Hi Mati Rose,
Remembering back when my life changed, I couldn't bare to listen to music, didn't want to see two people in love, thought all men were cheating, thought everyone knew he had left me... on an on.
I now know that I had to go through that to get where I am today. I needed to feel the pain and the shame to be able to be healed and to help heal. I blog about this and know that sharing is my medicine.
You will find your way, you already are. It's hard to understand what happens and why it happens, but moving forward (painting) is what will help you grow and improve.
My best to you. Blessings galore! www.babbielynn.com xo

Dear Mati...
I have visited you and admired your talent, but didn't comment.
I am so sad n' sorry-I fear this may happen to me. My spouse doesn't share or understand my need to create. I know you will find art to comfort you and support you at this difficult time. Go with whatever sparks your attention and tap those gorgeous shoes. You know Dorothy originally had Silver slippers, not Ruby ones.
You are so talented and magic will come through you again and again!
Sorry you are having a difficult time~ @>-------------
