Sunday Mornings of an Artist

Sunday Mornings are my sacred time, the time when I re-group and focus on my Self. I reflect on my journey and my purpose, on the people that I have connected to in this life, and how we all impact one another. 
This is when the vast majority of my ideas are born, when my intuitive self is most confident in my direction. Inspirations and images flow through me with ease, sometimes so fast I have to write them hurriedly in my worn dog-eared notebooks of artwork that is yet to become. Each thought or concept is a Seed to be planted. Each one to be symbolically created either to encourage me through my own life or to be the hand that holds another's during their journey. 
Isn't that why we are all here? 
To help one another through this life? 
To stand with one another?
As my life has evolved, this is the way in which my compassion for others has transformed. And....this is the way that my compassion for my Self has transformed.
I try to infuse this love through my artwork, lending a healing energy to each piece that will then touch someone else.
My philosophy of being an Artist is somewhat different than the norm. I do not necessarily work at widening my "customer" base, but look to truly widen my circle of friends and our connectedness. 
My art feeds me...in a literal sense yes...the groceries that nourish my body. But it also feeds my soul, and that in itself is a blessing.

I have been told by some that my philosophies are Unrealistic...that I am a Dreamer...a Tree Hugger...a Light Heart...that these are not the ways to change the world. While this may have been meant as a criticism, I look at it as a compliment...for I believe that each time my soul touches another's soul through my art, I raise our energy and vibration for a better world.

Namaste my friends, Namaste.

Oh. Sacred time to center, ground, refill the well, and dream DEEP. Yeah. I so get that. And it's beautiful nourishment, isn't it?

And I delighted when I read your words, "widen my circle of friends and our connectedness." I get that, and yet when I share this "business" concept, most folks look at me as if I were speaking Martian. But I often say, about *so* many things in Life ~ it's all about relationships.

I love your work and am grateful that our paths have crossed.

Keep dreamin'!

I understand so well about people not understanding that connectedness concept. I am surrounded by so many who are afraid to "share" another artist's work (even if they truly love it), afraid that it will take away from them somehow, instead of connecting us all more fully. The stories and the inspirations of art is so important to me, because I do truly connect it with my spirituality. I can't imagine creating without infusing my spirit and intentions into each piece. You do the same, which is why I resonate with your work as well.

Romancing the Butterfly and its Symbolic Meaning

The Butterfly has such a beautiful significance in life, a delicate and ornate creature who just by their floating into our presence can instantly light smiles on the faces who see her. They are symbolic for the Perception of the Evolving Soul. The way in which they flutter through the air and land on one flower... to the next flower, looks as if they are doing a dance of happiness. Almost as if they are giving out kisses to each one. Even in difficult or harsh circumstances they still float in the same manner, insistent on living in the moment and living in joy. The Butterfly represents how you choose to perceive your growth, whether you perceive the transformations as  a difficult period or whether you perceive them as a grand adventure appreciative of each moment. Transformation, change, and growth are inevitable, but how we choose to walk through them affects how easy or difficult they can be.  The Butterfly is a special totem to look to when you are going through a t...

New Year Quest to Organize and Simplify

I'm spending the remainder of the year trying to make life easier, simplify, organize, with the eternal quest to find more time in my day. So many hours are spent now on social media that I strive to find the balance between creating and connecting.  The past few months my blogs have suffered from this, my writing being sporadic. I'm committing to get back to my consistency with the blogging, as it has always been one of my first loves....and especially the time   reading my favorite blogs.  I found Bloglovin where I can keep track of my favorite reads nicely, in one simple clean format. I hope this helps on my quest. Back to organizing :)    Peace and Love http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/13296731/?claim=mn4sk8qx4fb
