END AND BEGINNING

I love to read.  I love the feel of a book in my hands and turning the pages.  I love to be pulled into the story.

Starting a new book always stirs up wonderful anticipation.  Ending a book can be a mixed bag.  Sometimes,

glad to finish the book and sometimes really sad

 to close the cover. 

This morning's journal art was about my own  journey.  The ups and downs and the hopefully acquired lessons that inspire you to keep going.  I am really good at persaverance of my passions.  I can get an idea in my head and it's like I am riding a fast moving train.  Hell or high water is in my veins.  It is a good thing to have.

What I stink at is introducing good habits..sticking with self imposed schedules...etc..disipline....

I am looking at the end of FEBRUARY with great satisfaction.
  And I look forward to MARCH with

GREAT INTENT to... 

~ STAY AWAKE ~

~  BE STRONG ~

~ CARRY ON  ~

~ NEVER GIVE UP ~

yep, that's me.

NOW

I am enjoying a day home embracing my space, feeling deep gratitude for life.

A STICKY SUBJECT

There is this ongoing quest for artists to find the best glue in the universe.  Glue sticks have always been a big

disappointment for me.  Until today.  I bought this with little faith.. and was pleasantly surprised.

This is COOL stuff!  Scotch Wrinkle-free Glue Stick is FAB-U-luscious.  It goes on smooth.

It STICKS and the lid is strong and tight fitting which hopefully will keep the stick from drying out.

This is the cadillac of glue sticks and will be in my arsenal of GLUE for sometime.

NOW

back to art.

MOMENTUM

RED is my power color and I am FOCUSing on NOW.  I am a great one for exploding with intent,

carrying it strong for awhile, then losing my momentum.  I don't think I am alone in this.  Human being

Human.  But my recent break-through has shown me this:  I must hold strong and true with my path in my heart. I will continue on determined.  The door I have been pushing so hard on has opened and I

know NOW I will keep FOCUSing on the steps forward.  So much of my energy has been

engulfed in fear, and now that I have broken through the paper tiger, I am ready to stay on track.

Writing it down here gives it more strength for me.

NOW  - I -  FOCUS.

RED LETTER DAY

I NOW TAKE MY INTENTIONS TO HIGHER DIVINE LEVEL!!!

Owning my own business is wildly duel for me at times.  A Gemini.  Mostly that dividedness can be a great.

Or not.  This economy has been pounding away at all of us.  And the concern and worry has been

heavy for me.  I am a well known Pollyanna.  But even the best of pollyannas has venomous toads
snapping at her heels.  Those wakeup calls at 2:22 a.m.  The creeping of the disease called worry.
Oh.  I fell into that bog and was slogging around. It was heavy and it slowed me down.
I was feeling lathargic with fear.

And at the core of this gutbomb,  it was all a big ole ugly cloud that was more fear than substance.
So now I make my intentions new and improved and am celebrating my new found batteries.
And in my morning's journal art, I expressed my gratitude and determination.
Because ART speaks it for me.  Always.
NOW
I leap into the BEST IS YET TO COME!

THANKFUL

This is the journal art I did this morning. When I did this art early this morning, I gave it all to the universe. And when I was finished, I turned to face the answer to what I have worried about for months.  But I finally made it over the mountain.  I am relieved, I am tired and I am proud of how I weathered this ordeal.  Gifts have come to me through this time and I have embraced and excepted each one with gratitude.  Learning how to rely on my inner strength has been a test.  I now step forward more informed and with my warrior goddess gear in place.  I will not let the forces overtake me.

And I will remember, 90% of what we worry about, never comes true. 

NOW

that is the truth.

NOW I go home to peace.

NEW ENERGY

I wanted share my envison board with you.  I redo this board every new year. It has my intentions, my dreams and my aspirations.  Being an artist, visually posting works best for me.  Throughout the year, I will add new affirmations.  I group the intentions.  On the lower left, which stands for the northeast, I post my success goals.  In the lower right corner, which stands for the northwest, my relationship goals.

In the right middle which stands for the west, I place my health goals.  In the upper right corner, which stands for the southwest, I place my wisdom goals.  The rest of my vision board I place images that relate to one of my 4 energy fields.

This morning I did a gratitude meditation for Emalie to heal from her eye surgery.  And then I worked on positive affirmations in my journal.  It's a wonderful way  to energize my work day.  The sun is shining, the sky is blue and spring is on the way.!    yahoooo!

NOW

I step into UP>

BEAUTIFUL EYES

This is beautiful Emalie.  She has an eye that is not perfectly shaped and today is having corrective

surgery to help that.  So I am sending her all my love and prayers to help the surgery go smoothly and

we are praying this corrects her beautiful eyes.  She is an artist at heart.  To paint makes her day.

We love her immensly and I am flying to her in spirit and love today.

Please say a prayer for her if you read this.

thank you.
