Minerva the Goddess of the Arts and Creative Passion

Minerva is the Roman Goddess of Wisdom, the Arts, and Trade; making her a wonderful Goddess to look to for guidance by virtually any creative person who desires to make a living from their talents.

Her wild and fiery hair is symbolic of that Creative Passion that fuels your drive to create, that keeps you up at night honing your craft, and the perpetual thoughts of how you can continue elevating your talent. Her wisdom lends perfectly to the heightened creative by fostering a diligent work ethic and responsible choices on turning the creative dream into a career.

While many people don't realize the tremendous work that is involved in being a full time artist, Minerva can be your Daily Inspiration that "You Can Do This".

Minerva is #15 in my series "30 Goddess in 30 Days".

She is available in my Etsy shop here

Thank you Catherine. Her spirit is so much more shimmery and glowing in person, difficult to capture in photos. She's one of my favorites of the Goddesses.

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 trans form

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
