Finding Sunshine

Heading to Las Vegas for some greatly needed sunshine!  If it won't come to me, then I'll go to it!

CELEBRATE MAKE BELIEVE

Work in Progress

Here is my latest piece in progress.  I'm not sure what the title will be...Maybe...CELEBRATE MAKE BELIEVE.   I'll decide when I'm all finished.

Time...

Time is such an illusion...

Lost...

Lost again, but with hope of finding myself soon...

Lifes Complications

I suppose that life's complications are what make us grow.  They can stop you in your tracks at times, but I suppose life would be pretty dull and shallow without them.  That's my positive spin anyways...

Old Friends

Seeing old friends is good for my heart and soul.  Saying things that were once bottled up is so freeing and cleansing.  I wish I could let everything out, that needs to find its way out.  Thats probably a good lifetime goal for me.  Purify the heart...

Purity

Purity...Pureness of thoughts and actions.  Pureness of Heart...

Intuition

Intuition...it's all I've got to help me wind my way through this lifetime.  It's not really a question of trusting it, because I don't think I really have a choice...It's all I've got.  What a powerful tool if you learn to use it correctly and recognize it always.  I need to remember to always be working on this.  Following the light...

Lost Again

Lost again...

Lost and Found

Lost and found.  

Lost again and found again.

And again, and again, and again...

But each time found a little bit more...

Simple Pleasures

Simple pleasures...

A.E.

I think Albert Einstein and I would have been great friends-I hope I meet him in heaven.

A Kiss

A kiss on the cheek is a powerful thing  :)

Another Day

Another day...out into the world I go...

Beadwork

......It's coming along...

So...how do I trust my instinct and not let logic make it blurred?  Do I even want logic to enter the picture?  Is there a balance, or is logic just an illusion that gets in the way?  I believe in balance, but in this case, one may have nothing to do with the other...I suppose the best answer I could give myself would be to become totally centered (or as centered as I am capable of) and ask myself this question...

Good Morning

GOOD MORNING WORLD!!!!

Me

Me in my little fantasy world-where there is peace on earth and no one is suffering.

Beadwork

Here is a bead prodject I'm currently working on.  I'll post a picture when it's all finished so you can see how it turns out-  I've always got to be working on something!  OCD!!!

Life

I wonder if someday this life will all make sense to me...I think it will, I hope so...

Be human

I think it's especially important to say what ever needs to be said.  No matter how silly, or corny, or even inappropriate it may seem, if it's in your heart, then it's okay to let it out.  It seems to me that we (as a society) are so programed to behave a certain way, that important feelings sometimes can get lost.  It's not fair to have these imaginary restrictions put on us.  It's much more important to just be human...

Treasure

Treasure your short time here on earth...

Treasure the time you spend with those you love...

Treasure the small moments that make you smile and warm your heart...

Reach

Note to self:  Reach and reach and never stop reaching...

Mom

My Mama and me

Spring

This morning I took a drive down this old country road, just a mile or two from my house.  It was sunny (but cold) and I came upon this barn with a big green field.  The field was full of mama sheep and their brand new babies.  They were the cutest little things.  They just melted my heart.  It was such a vision of Spring.  I will go back later today or tomorrow and try to get a good picture, so I can share with you!

Patience

I'm telling myself that time is only an illusion.  And I do believe that to be true.  But it' never feels that way when you're trying to be patient.  I think that is one of my weak areas-patience.    Not such an easy thing to work on, but I have no choice...Still, I don't know if it is improving at all.

Seek

Seek and ye shall find...Seek what is real and true. Open your heart and let it guide you-if you follow it, it will be right.  Don't be afraid...just listen...

Right Now

Ok, so how to live in the moment seems to be the hardest thing for me...I always find my mind wandering to other people or places or feelings. It's hard to stay in the present. That is my goal right now...to enjoy exactly where I am and exactly what I am doing, right now. Much easier said than done, thats for sure. I know when I'm doing my art, I am totally in the moment, and time has no meaning, and it's pretty much wonderful. I need to incorporate that into some of the other parts of my life too. Life is short, and basically, "right now" is all there is...how can that be so difficult?

Pink!

I dyed my hair PINK today!   It makes me happy!

Mermaid at the Beach

These things make me smile...

I found the mermaid  just lying there, so peacefully and beautiful.  The sun was going down and people were leaving the beach to go home, and she was all alone.  I thought she was so lovely...
