Intention

I learned that it is during the first two weeks of the New Year (yesterday ushered in the Year of the Tiger) that your intention needs to be at its most purposeful. For you are setting up your intent for the entire year. Or perhaps the gods are listening the most intently during this time of year when everything is fresh and new?

My intent. Finally. Is to draw - paint - create. This year. And the next. And beyond.

Hear me roar!

Love & Inspiration

In "honor" of the oh-so tedious Hallmark Valentine's day, rather than celebrate the day with obligatory chocolates, pointless gifts, and a mass-produced card, I feel pulled instead to notice and spread the joy of Nature's Love. Let's celebrate Love of all kinds, not only the romantic this Valentine's day.

Here are some hearts that I found right in my back yard.

Magical!

I was inspired by Kelly Rae Roberts, who finds hearts wherever she goes, and encourages others to do the same. She's inspiring in many other ways as well. Check out her blog and her website.

She has also inspired me to follow my heart, to do what I've spent my adult life yearning for, but have been too afraid to embrace completely. ART! Painting, drawing, collaging... YES! I am finally saying YES to my creativity, to art, and to my heart. I'm ready.

I'll be using this blog to share my journey, to share my art, and to encourage others to do the same.

It's a monumental step, here I go! Thanks for being here, along for the ride.

So this weekend, notice, honor and spread the Love wherever you go ~ starting with yourself: love who you are, your gifts and talents, and all that you have to offer the world!

Let's go!

Change

Change.

The only constant "they" say.

Changes are in the air. For this blog.

For me.

Intention.

I am setting my intention here.

Change. Time to change. Time to claim. Time to SOAR!

Join me in the journey!

It's going to be a wild ride. I'm so excited!!!

Creating, Creativity, Joy

Here's what I've been creating...

A new hip belt for our next costume. The front anyway.

How about you? What are you creating these days?

Synchronicity, Magic, Connection, Wonder

I believe in magic.

Synchronicity is a kind of magic.

Invisible threads woven out of site ~ linking, connecting, joining each of us to what & who we are truly meant to be with, so that we may be who we are truly meant to be.

If only we pay attention.

And trust. That you are being presented a glimpse (or whallop on the head) of something essential, a vital clue to who you are.

And like a spider web, strand by strand, an entire scene will unfold before your eyes, if you trust, if you follow, if you open your heart.

Stay open to the magic.

I have discovered a thread very recently, I'm so excited to see where it leads! A blog I follow of an inspiring and beautiful dancer, introduced to me to another blog, which led me to this amazing group of creative, courageous women, and their blogs, and their magic. And then, there in one photo was someone I recognized? Yes, someone I went to high school with.

Small world? Synchronicity. Magic. Connection. Wonder.

I am so excited by the possibilities.
