Embracing the Artist Within

2011-10-25T17:29:00.000-07:00

Holy Cow! It's been a long time since I've blogged! My part time job is taking a lot more time than I ever dreamed it would, and it is time for me to get back to where I need to be with my art........Embracing the Artist Within!!

So now I've got this wild idea, which I always seem to have so many! I found this amazing cabin in No. Georgia that would be perfect for me and my clay, it has a basement! OMG!! Sooooooo perfect...........it would be wonderful to have the space to spread out and really set up an honest to goodness studio for myself. I could still keep my condo in Atlanta, which I will need a place to stay when I come into town, to work and have a place for Affie. So perfect! And the address is amazing 440........which equals 8 in numerology, which equals money! Yummmmy!

Time to get ready for 2012!

Happy New Year!!

Holy Cow it is 2011!! How did this happen?? Where did all this time go? I am always amazed at how fast time goes but yet sometimes it seems to stand still. 2010 was an incredible year for me, my part time job kept me crazy busy and just trying to create balance in my life seemed to be number one on my list. And today, January 4th, 2011, the solar new moon eclipse, is and has been the perfect day, peaceful, joyful and easy. Got to have lunch with a dear friend and go to my favorite store.......Daven's Ceramics and pick up my new pieces..............more tree spirits. So I have embraced my artistic spirit today and oh! do I love that!! The weather is perfect to.............beautiful sunset today, just perfect. I'm planning to create more days like this for myself, just enjoying the moment.............so sweet!

So here's wishing all of you the most perfect, and fabulous 2011 wishing all of your dreams coming true!!

Good Morning everyone...................

It's an absolutely beautiful day here in Atlanta, flowers are blooming, trees are turning green almost over night, warm temps, just perfect.

It's been a very busy time for me these last several months. Started a new job and trying to create balance in my life, you know getting everything done that you want to get done, not enough hours in the day sort of thing, but still happy to be doing what I do. Love it.

Embracing that artistic soul again.................oh, how I've missed her! Thinking about taking a 5 day workshop with Debra Fritts, my all time favorite teacher. She is absolutely amazing! Her work is outstanding, her inspiration is priceless, and my clay pieces took on a whole new energy of their own when I started taking classes with Debra. How wonderful to have someone in your life that can inspire you to such a level. www.debrafritts.net

Enjoy your weekend, take time to Breathe and get a massage!

My how time flys..............here it is Christmas already! Happy Holidays everyone!! It has been a very busy time for me lately, starting a new part time job, wanting to be busier and wow, here I am, got exactly what I wanted!! What is that saying "be careful what you ask for"!! Love it, getting lots of things done, Christmas cards almost ready, yes, I love to send cards and handwritten ones, guess I'm just that old fashion girl................have a little shopping to do and I want to do a little baking, get into the spirit of it all.

So appreciative of my life, my children, grandbabies, all these fabulous people in my life, it just gets better and better.

It is way too hot for me today........I need to walk Affie, but I don't want to melt either!

Clay work is coming along nicely, angels are fabulous, improving all the time on a rapid pace.

I'm ready to move, ready to create an amazing, creative, huge, huge, huge space!! An Art Gallery celebrating local artists, my own big, big, big studio, classes in healing with clay, children's classes, a lovely living space all rolled into the same space, including the massage studio, the library, meditation room, guest rooms,.......... so perfect. I can see it all in my head, now for the manifesting of it all.............

Thank you to all my fabulous friends that listen to my creative expression of what the future holds, the unlimitless possibilities of Creation. I love you all!

I continue to be amazed at how fast my days fly by. Summer is now here, all the kids are out of school, ready for the pools to be ready and the fun to begin. I seem to be focused on organizing my small space, I love how things are progressing along, thank goodness for IKEA!! I think this is the first time in my life that I really feel like I have it all together..........Holy cow, did I really say that??!!! I love how I've been able to make my space work for me, but now I am really ready to move, move to a new, bigger home. I want that big, beautiful art studio, to spread out when I do my clay, lots of space for drying my pieces, lots of bags of clay all around. A big backyard for Affie to run in, a garden, fresh veggies right out my back door. Lots of space for family and friends to spend the night, and a huge kitchen, for great meals to be served and midnight snacks to be enjoyed. Heaven...........

I can't believe that it is the end of March "09 already, my days are just flying by. I am thrilled to have my taxes done and behind me, now I feel that I can focus on other fun things to do. Still trying to get the projects done around home, slowly they are coming together. I just need to focus on how I will feel when they are done..........Free! Free to do exactly what I want and that is clay, I want to play in the clay more. I love, love, love the Tree Spirits that I'm making, anxious to see how the Black Mountain Clay ones will fire. Yummy..............

All the kids are good, everyone is so busy running here and there living their lives. I am excited about Spring Break next week, time to spend with my kids. Hope to go up to the mountains and explore a bit. Look for a farm, the perfect place to live, with everything that I need being there and all the help that I need to create this wonderful, magical place. The "Creative Wellness Retreat Center".............has a great ring to it.

Chinese New Year, the year of the Ox

The Ox is the sign of Industry. trustworthy, reliable, strongwilled, orderly and organized.

I had a wonderful January, going out to Arizona and spending time with my kids. I truly love that state, it is so special, the desert and the mountains, the snow in the northern part of the state and most of all Sedona. Whitney and I had a great time, she is growing up so very fast. And so are Ashdyn and Blake, I certainly enjoy being their Grammie! I would so love to have all of the kids in one place at the same time, that would be amazing!

I sold one of my larger sculpture pieces last week! Wow, that was very sweet! So I am now so inspired to do more and create, so much so I'm running out of space. My Tree Spirits are coming along nicely too. Ready to have those fired soon. All is well................

I so loved watching history being made last night! What an amazing time it is on this planet, and if you just believe.........anything can happen. Anything is possible..................

This is from one of my favorite authors........Esther and Jerry Hicks.........and Abraham..................

"Be easy about all of this, Life is supposed to be fun, you know. It is our powerful desire that you return to your state of self-appreciation. We want you to feel love for your life, for the people of your world, and most of all, for yourself."

From the book, Manifest Your Dreams by Esther and Jerry Hicks.

Namaste

I honor the place in you, in which the entire Universe dwells. I honor the place in you which is of love, of truth, of light and of peace. When you are in that place within you, and I am in that place in me, we are one.

"Your dreams are manifestations of your vibrational point of attraction, so you can evaluate your dreams to determine what you are really doing with your vibration. Your dreams are, of sort, a sneak preview of the essence of that which is to come --- so if you evaluate the content of your dream, you can often determine what your point of attraction is". Abraham-Hicks

Sunday afternoon..............
I love Sunday's. It is a day of relaxation and taking naps, walking the dog, lots of Chai, just doing exactly what I want to do. Today in Atlanta everyone is still in a panic over the gas situation. I visualized having a full tank and that's exactly what I have! It is still hot down here and I so look forward to the cool evenings and not so hot days.

Sissy and I just got back from Minnesota. It was my niece's wedding, and oh, was she a beautiful bride. The wedding was on the lake surrounded by lots of thick green grass, with a baby bunny making it's entrance after the ceremony. Such a perfect day it was.

It was great to see lots of family and friends that I hadn't seen in many years, I guess I was so surprised at how the past was discussed over and over again, helping me to realized that I truly do live in the present, in the Now. And that is exactly where I choose to live, which gives me great appreciation for my life. Again I am reminded of the joy, happiness, abundance, and the magic that I experience everyday.

New Moon Eclipse today, I was reading Astrology Zone.com how eclipses create a key marker point, a sort of "a rite of passage". Then there is another eclipse, full moon August 16, and another new moon August 30, so this will be an interesting August.

I've been busy working and loving my clay, another new type of head, face box with lettering. Little sayings, like "Thoughts are things" ..................love it! And my large sculpture is now finished, it is beautiful! Only one more clay class left and a long break in between before the next one starts, then the Fall Show. I really am hoping for a great show this year.

I am hoping to post some of my new work on my blog, not sure how to do it...........so we'll see.........................

Here's hoping for a lovely, peaceful, joyful and restful weekend.......................
