Genius, let us talk about genius, what does that mean to you? I would always think that that is someone greater than I such as the inventor of the light bulb or electricity. We are all genius because we are of the great intelligence that takes care of us all. The all knowing. I know this sounds kind of woo woo but there is an intelligence that grows our hair, our fingernails and we grow old with this intelligence.
The challenge I see today is to understand your own intelligence, to see how that works for you. Is there a duality in seeing yourself as creative as others, as genius as others, or not? When I can truly let go of judgments, doubts, fears, I can see the creative genius in myself and others. Seeing it in others really connects it to you. See the great works, allow the new visions, and you can flow with the genius of you and others.

Another great day. Meaning I let go of the self talk that is not really true but is a perception that I had put on myself. This is about friends, about me and how I work in the world. If I am putting out self destructive messages, victim messages, lack-full messages from my mind. I will be getting more of that back don't you think? Well, that a law of the universe. I listened to the things that I made up and I believed them. No one looking in would believe them. Who are we and who do we think we are.
That is the challenge for today. Who are you? How do you think others see you?
Are they the same or are they totally different. It would be nice to ask people what they thought of you so you could see what you are giving off. Maybe do a creative project that shows the difference. I may do that myself.

This beautiful day was a much better day for me. As my health really gets better and better it really is a luxury to go for that walk, or run. Have to do it early in the morning as it is getting pretty hot out there. Today's challenge is to look at the work responsibility and what it means to you? What about the reponsibility to live up to your potential? The responsibility to create what you were brought here to create? I got that word today and when I usually see that word I worry about not being responsible enough about money, or household duties or anything like that. But today when I got that word and I went for my walk I really got the view of being responsible for living up to my full potential.
I am wanting to learn how to do better blogs. I want people to come and read my blogs. How do I do that? Could you help me with this? Please contact me and help me do this. Thanks.....l i n d a

What could I write about today that would make me feel better, make your life better and be of a great truth. I don't know if I have that kind of news today. I left work sick this morning. I over did it yesterday and I didn't eat very well. I was going to go for a walk and that didn't happen. Creativity flowed and flowed and flowed. It was late. I knew I woke up with a little headache and in proceeded to get worse. I came home and went to bed and you know what, I felt better later. It is my husbands birthday and I sent him many cards late last night.
I feel like I have been wasting this beautiful day. But I had to take care of myself. Then I ate too much. But I guess I needed it too. Trust that is what I will be talking about today. Trust. My challenge is to ask yourself who you can trust? Can you trust yourself? I don't think I can trust myself, I don't always do the best for myself. I can trust others? Yes, that was a question. I have levels of trust but if I can't trust myself how could I trust another. The other question is of love. If I don't love myself unconditionally how can I love others. I guess that is the message for today. It is a large question that touches every part of our lives. Our relationships, with people, with ourselves and our creations. Just make it simple and sit with the love and the trust. See how it effects you. Is there something you can do to trust more, love more, and create more.

06-26-10

The day before my husbands birthday, the day after getting together with my son and a new friend. The day I have felt inspired all day to be grounded and in my body. This has led to massive movement, cleaning out, clarity, creativity and simply allowing me to be and not hear the obsessive chatter in the head that is not of the creative good. I am in the creative good mind.
The deck is part of the living area now. The garage is getting ready to be a welding, wood and etc workshop. As I took more than ever to the goodwill. Letting to and creating a new. Is it the sun....Is it the full moon...is it all the daily practice to be in the now and not the past. I don't know. I am so grateful to simply be able to be. I wanted to call new friends and at the same time wanted to create real time with myself.
This challenge is to create real time for you, for yourself. What does that mean to you? Does that mean saying No to others, it may be. The whole challenge is about listening, being and going forth with courage, love and acceptance for yourself and everyone else. Wow, now there is the real challenge.

06-25-10

I had a great evening last night of creating. Some of the things I have been putting off got worked on. One of my beading projects and one of my multi media creations. How did I get motivated? I got everything out. It made kind of a mess and wow, I enjoyed it so much. Now everything is still out as I started another project.
So the challenge I have for you is to take a look at something that you may want to work on and just aren't doing it. You may want to get it out and put it right in front of your face, you may want to mess up a counter top that is usually clean and it motivates you to finish the project so you can clean up the counter. Or do just one thing towards a project. Like taking things to the goodwill to give you more room to set up a project. There are many small things to get you going and then you feel motivated cuz you moved. Movement and sound can be motivating. You can give me your feedback on how you stay motivated. I am wanting to know and learn from youl

06-24-10

Today was a great day, the weather, the work, the mindset. I didn't create anything did I? Did you? I did take responsibility and get many things done. That was the plan so I created a plan. I was very creative about what I wore. I have some things that are half done and I am not really interested in working on them. I have a great studio and product and I am not motivated. I work, I try and keep the lawn done. I did learn a new song of someone elses. I do my vocal exercises in the car and am enjoying singing again.
Now I remember the challenge that I wanted to give all of you today. Is there something you may have given up that you love to do? Something you may have forgotten you loved to do? Singing lessons, I loved, some of my best friends are singing teachers. Take a look at that. You may want to bring out something and try it again. I did and I love it. It opens my mind, my body, and my mind. Spirit loves to sing.

06-23-10

Sometimes TV does inspire. I have loved HGTV and then I change to the food network when there is reruns and now I found an Art challenge on Bravo. This is my type of show. And it is on Wednesday evenings, I remembered and it is on now.
My challenge to you is to take a look at anything you do and take another stand on that habit. When you think this way, change and think the opposite. Today I found myself falling into ways of thinking and with a second look it was only my choice to look at it that way. We are creative creatures. Let us create from love, from nature, from abundance. Yes, take a look at opposites. From No to Yes. Now that is a good one......l i n d a

06-22-10

Today I really had some big plans. I was going to work from home all day. Then after I had gotten my calls done earlier than I thought I decided to take a trip to a mountain that people climb here. Well, they walk it. It is 1.4 miles uphill. Yes, uphill. My heart was beating over the aerobic amount that it should. That is one reason I wanted to go. I was a little depressed or not able to lift my spirits before I left. On the way up I really wanted to quit. I didn't. I made it up to the top, I had a headache and didn't take enough water with me. I made it though. On the way down I kept bringing up how beautiful the walk was and that my heart needs this push. I don't want to exercise anymore. I did it regularly for at least 20 years of my life if not more. I need to find some more fun ways to exercise. Dancing was always something that I loved. When I got in the car I looked in the mirror and wow, I had blood in my face. I need to get that blood moving. That will bring creativity moving also. The challenge I have for you today is to see how moving your body can start that creative blood flowing. I will take a look at that today, tomorrow and the next day. I was making excuses for not exercising. Let's see if I can stop that with creativity being a side effect of movement. Good moving to you.

06-21-10

Hello my dear friends, Yes, there is some sun on the first day of summer. I rejoice in the light. My challenge today is to take a look at courage. Do you have courage to live your life? Do you have the courage to create? I love the word courage, what does courage mean to you? This is a short summer blog. Keep the creating going and we will be headed for the 4th of July. Enjoy!!

06-20-10

I am seeing some more of my creative ideas in stores. And I just put a little thing together and wow someone else made the exact same thing and are selling them in stores. I think I can create mine and sell them at weekend markets and such. I really think I will make a few and say, hey, I like them I hope you do.
This challenge that I bring you today is about you and your seeing what is in the places that you may want to put your creations. I stopped at 2 places and got cards to ask if they supported local artists. Now I have to back that up in the way that they want. I heard today that that is the masculine energy and I am dedicating this blog to Fathers Day, to my husband and to my dad. Also to the father that my son will become in the future... thanks everyone.

06-19-10

OK. I had this great idea on what to put in this blog then I remembered it was Father's Day tomorrow. What I wanted to originally talk about was trusting your emotions. What if something doesn't ring true to your gut? But you give in anyway, is that pleasing or is it compromise or exactly what is it? If you are going to hold a grudge or resentment because you gave in, then you may not be staying true to your intention or your authentic being.
This challenge is for this week. When you are in any kind of exchange of communication, whether it be on the phone, in person, at work or at home. Take notice of your gut feeling. Of that twinge inside you that says, what? or wow? or whatever? Because sometimes we don't go with our gut feeling, our passion, our knowing, because we listen to outside influences and think, oh, they must be right, they have been in this business for many years and they must know best. Their best may not be the way of the future. Your way may be, just take a look at that. Are they just playing it safe in the world that they have worked for so long. If it was put into your mind so passionately it can happen. How does progress happen, through the person that doesn't go along with what has been done before and moves into a new arena. Where is your arena? How are things done there normally? Do you think like that or are you original, authentic and getting creative ideas on doing it a new way?
Just take a look at that, I am.

06-18-10

My challenge for you today is to face your fears. I am afraid of heights so we climbed Smith Rock in Central Oregon. Now that is high and there are no hand rails and my life was on the line. Now I faced one of my big fears. So now it is your turn. And you know i cried. I did cry. It was good and spiritual.

06-17-10

Let us begin. I have had a really really long and great day. People, many people and a new adventure. I attended a Health Fair shared a great way to loose a few pounds and to detox. These are things that I use myself and have made my life a better life. I was sharing this with others.
My challenge to you today is to ask yourself do you share what works for you? I have mixed feelings on this, because of my creations being shared. Sharing what works to make you feel better, be healthier and like how you look is something I can share about. Just ask me. I have my ways. And I am very creative with these ideas. love me

06-17-10

I need to focus on this blog. Intention. My challenge today is for you to take a look at your intentions. I was driving and feeling down and feeling bad. I was being a victim, but I am not now. I listened to a cd on intention and I made some intentions. I intend to live from love today. My intention is to respect myself and others. It is my intention to serve others and know my purpose. What are your intentions? Write 5 intentions around your well-being, it will actually translate into you creating a life you love and what is better than that? Maybe chocolate?

06-16-10

Looking at color. Yes, such a simple thing but with a little sun in our lives right now I am noticing the great colors. The lawns and trees are green and the burst of flowers, what a joy. I notice the magazines are brighter and people are wearing more color. It is a season. There is a reason.
This challenge is to make up a theory. Why do people go for more color? Is it because they see more color or they feel brighter because of the change in the weather? Yes, we come up with these theories in our head and it is fun to take a look at how you look at these things. Would it be a good time to create in brighter colors? Is art seasonal, well, what people are finding attractive probably is seasonal. Are you seasonal? I know I am. I am wearing pink right now. No pink in the winter for me. Take the challenge my friends.

06-14-10

What shall I write about today? If this was your blog what would you write about today? What issues are coming up for you? I believe I want to talk about marketing. I always say that I am not a very good marketer. What could I do to change that? I did take 2 of my creations to work and told them if they wanted special presents they could see my creations and see if they would be appropriate for gifts of their friends. This is where I need to start, with my friends and co workers. How about you and your creations? Do you cook or garden? What is it that you are creating? If you are creating for your family and such you probably aren't into marketing. Many creative people don't use that part of their brain. I did some cold calls at work today (a part time retail job) and I had fun. I used to do it for my Acting School. And I hated it at first and then I really liked it.
The challenge for you today is to ask yourself, are you a good marketer. Maybe you are the very best and you don' t consider yourself as a creator. I think it is one of the most creative things people can do. I am going to stay courageous and show more people my creations for sale. I call it Art to Heart and want to reach millions with my creations. How about you?

06-13-10

Today let us talk about beginnings and endings. We had a discussion this morning about how something has to end to begin something else. Change is all we every have, some feel it is like ebb and flow. Change is always happening in nature. The seasons, the sunrise and sunset. So what am I getting at here? One thing is looking at endings differently. So you are hungry and you end it by eating. You end wearing heels and begin wearing flip flops. So getting used to those small beginnings and endings you can let go of the larger beginnings and endings. Sometimes you need to grieve an ending and/or celebrate a beginning.
The challenge is to put this theory into how we create. Have you ever not wanted to finish a project because then it will be done and you may feel sad, or fearful because then you will have to have to start another one. That may be a scary thing also. Take a look at how you feel about endings and beginnings.
Then we may have to look at the middle part.

06-12-10

Let us see what this font looks like. Well it is almost like the other that I usually use. It is something different though. This days plans got changed and I am OK with that. I decided when it looked like gloomy day instead of the sunny day we were promised that I would do something totally different. I did get up earlier than usual and got cleaned up to go to a couple sales. I decided to be my own best friend. I called a few people and everyone was busy or didn't get back to me. I have friend expectations and that is what I need to totally letting go of.
Creative day, is a day of observation and doing. I watched people and explored stores to see what they have and what people are buying. Then home to mow all the lawns. For you that don't know me I have a lot of yard. 2 in the front and a large back yard around a pond. A large riding lawn mower that was the pride and joy of my father, who has passed many years ago. It is the closest thing to a motorcycle that I have had for a long time. Creative lawn mower driving. Get the feel. I want to talk about getting the feel. IT took a lot of the day to get to this challenge which is get the feel, get in the groove. Do you know that feeling? Do you do that? What happens when that happens? Does time go by fast? Do you forget what you are actually doing and just BE? Wow, this is what happened as I drove the lawn mower, then last night I cleaned up many messes and big cupboards and it just flowed and time just flew by. That is creativity, it could be baking cookies, making dinner, doing the laundry. Anything. That is your challenge, take a look and get lost in your beautiful creative life.

06-11-10

Cleaning out the work space. Is that the work space in our minds or the work space where you create? That is what I am asking you. I really have had a stomach ache worrying about telling people about not re creating my creation. It is a subject that is full of emotions and when people didn't get back to me on my emails I assumed that they would never want to be my friend. This must be a pattern in my past and I know it to be. I will be working this out with my friend. Yes, I said my friend. Now that is a real friend that will listen to how I feel and we can work it out together. I have to say it was one of the hardest thing for me to do.
My challenge for this beautiful day is to think about your friends, are they approachable with your issues or things you may be facing in your creative career? I have to admit I haven't had enough guts to find out most of the time. In the past I just stuffed it. I wonder why I have a deep deep sadness. Because I haven't been truthful out of fear of abandonment. Yes, that's right abandonment and not being lovable. Take a look at that in your life.

06-10-10

I have to make this fast as I have to do something else. HA!! Well, I emailed my two friends and asked them to give me a year to launch my Alignment Beads. I had to tread backwards and share that I didn't feel good about them making something while I wanted to start to share them with the world under my name.
It was very hard to do, and at the same time it is very good for me to do these things as I would otherwise let it fester and create a barrier with people. I felt small and stingy. But it is how I felt and that is the truth. I am not as abundantly generous as I originally tried to be. I really wasn't but I said Iwas to please someone else. Those things lead me to be the false self.
My challenge to you is to take a look at this situation and see how you would have handled it? Have you ever had to handle a situation like this before? Having someone want to make the same thing you are making to share with the world? Let me know I really want to hear ways that others handle these kinds of situations. Thank you, now on the next thing I need to do. Let the create flow begin, and continue.

06-09-10

What do I want to write about? So much is happening in the inner creative world. New experiences, new conversations, new sensations, new choices, new self talk. I just decided. I have a conflict of feelings. I wanted to find something that no one had created here in the US or that I don't believe has been created. When I was in Switzerland I saw a few great things that were very sell able (I loved them) and I have never seen them here in the US so I bought one of them.
I was so excited and it actually took me months to learn how to make them, they were just bead work but in an unusual configuration. I loved them and gave them to my friends, they loved them. Now, I have been asked by a new friend if she can make them and sell them because she doesn't want to loose my friendship over a creative venture. I told her I didn't mind. She even asked 2 times and I said I didn't mind. To please her I said I didn't mind. Another reason is that there is always enough to go around philosophy. Then today I asked another creative friend if I could bring my beading and a couple other creative projects of mine to sell with her creations (which I would never make and sell because they are hers) and she said yes. Then she continued to say that she had told a friend that was into beadwork that she could make things like mine (and proceeded to show her my gift to her). Why does this bother me so much? In my mind I am saying this is my creation? I wanted to bring something new to this country.
Well, how do I let this go. I have my standard and they have theirs. Creation is creation and in truth I didn't create this. I designed bead work in the configuration of this already created works. I almost feel like I need to apologize for being so proud and so generous. I gave these out with love generosity and now everyone is going to be making them for profit. I don't know how this works. I guess I stole an idea and brought it to a new area and now the idea is being used by dear friends. My challenge and I would like you to take a look at this is, creation is upon inspiration from creation. Do you feel you have ever stolen an idea and created from it? Is it really stealing when everyone is different anyway. 2,000 people can make the same thing and it is all different. I really don't want to feel this, and I don't want anyone else to feel this, so let us all take a look at how this works in our creative life. Integrity in creating.

06-08-10

A heart with wings is tattooed on my body and I don't have to tell you where. This symbol is on many of my logos for art projects. It has always spoke to me. I have seen it in many logos so I know it speaks to many. What I want to say is I wasn't always exactly sure what it meant consciously but now I know exactly what it created in my life. After my retreat and a great sunny day of cleanseing along with staying focused on love and my surroundings and my callings of the day, I felt great. My sleep was somewhat feathered but I got to write down a few things. I didn't turn on the TV. I built a fire outside caught up on some current readings and off to bed.
This morning during a very long meditation and many realizations my little voice in my head said "my heart is flying". I went what? That is symbolized by a heart with wings obviously. But our intellect, our heart and our spirit don't speak the same language. The experiences I got this last weekend opened my heart in a way it has never been before, unless when I was born and taken care of as an infant. Unconditional love could not come in. I can't experience something I have pushed away and really don't understand until I am ready and willing. That is why I cried so much. This deep sadness I have carried in my heart hasn't been seen or heard, it has just been pushed down, with many different addictions. Yesterday when I started to feel uncomfortable I wanted to put food or drink in my mouth. Not booze but coffee or something. So my heart with wings is a symbol that I have that means more than I ever knew. I am so grateful. I have been able to hold everyone in unconditional love for 2 or 3 days. Can I keep this up? I will practice new things to stay connected.
The challenge for you is to take a look a symbols that you are attracted too. Sometimes the picture of money or the big house holds only human condition when symbols hold a deeper meaning to you. I am going to cut out and save images that speak to me. Not pictures of things I want to manifest like my motorcycle or more income. I will keep what speaks deeper than what my eyes see in magazines, TV and on the street. Not that those things are bad but I know something else is working in this universe and those old ways don't serve me anymore. Let us have our hearts fly today. Mine is.

06-07-10

What a wonderful day of creativity. My tears and release in the woman's retreat
has given me a new energy to live. Well, the sun has something to do with that also. I couldn't sleep very good. I felt tired but after I settled in I saw 1:30, 2:30, 3:30 and I think 4:30 then finally I fell asleep. I mean the sun is up by that time. I even got up at 1:30 and wrote and read and wondered through the house. I don't usually like doing that but I am not going to stick to the old things anymore.A retreat gives you a new outlook on life. I want to go to a art retreat. I wonder if I could get one of those together. What fun is that? The difference with me today was being open to a new way to do things. I got to create outside, and inside. I cleaned off the deck and washed the furniture, bought a couple new chairs for by the pond and fire pit. A whole new color. I did buy a few flowers also. One thing I did notice that today was my compulsion. I was doing a cleanse and that means I am not eating solid food, it is a detoxing cleanse and I found myself wanting to put things in my mouth (food or drink). Then I went to the buying place and I actually let myself buy. I found myself a little uncomfortable with this new clearing and wanted to fill it up. I am going to explore a book about your shadow. Debbie something is the author. I like living in this new open heart feeling even though it is uncomfortable. I can live through the discomfort of the new.
The challenge for you today is to see what may happen to you when you feel a little uncomfortable. Do you reach for a cookie, a drink, get ready to buy something. The challenge is to live in the discomfort and just notice it. You will survive. Last night I actually thought maybe I was having a heart attach or maybe I have a disease with my bones. Aches and pains made my imagination and my tired mind go to strange places, but I lived through the discomfort. I got up and got dressed to go for a jog and I did job for almost 2 mile. That is good for these old bones. HA! Happy creating. I feel a very safe place to create. Right here, Right NOW!!!

06-06-10

Now, today is actually the day I am writing. It is Sunday and I just got home from the Retreat and I am exhausted from all of the emotional work. I opened my heart more than I have in years or ever have. This opened heart brought many many tears. We did an exercise with everyone telling you what a great person you are. This is something that was hard to take. To take in all that goodness. I fought it for a while then I just quite hanging on to the judgmental voices in my head. Wow, that was a change. Everyone had their challenges with at least one of the exercises. Looking at each other in the eyes for a very very long time. Dancing, music and much more.
My challenge for today is to take some time and write down 20 good things that you could say to yourself. What if you imagined saying 20 things for other people, that may be easier. We seem to give and give and give and sometimes it is harder to receive. How do you receive? Do you receive?

06-05-10

This is Saturday's blog. Yes, I am writing Saturdays blog on Sunday. It just had to be that way. And I am OK with that are you. At the retreat we were calling these things distractions. Because I could really let it bother me but I gave it up. The important thing to me was to keep my word on writing a blog a day. I didn't really say I had to write it on the exact day. Saturday at the retreat was full of expression. We used the cards I made for an exercise and trusting that we always get what we need at the time. We danced, sang, cried and laughed. It was about the love. Yes, let us talk about the love, opening up the heart and allowing others in without that voice of fear. It was quite an experience. And my word was purpose. I always think I have to have a title, like actor, musician, artist. What if I was just a spiritual being. And my purpose was to just learn to be more of a spiritual being.
My challenge to you is to see if you know what your purpose is? Is it creating? Is it being an artist, a secretary, a Ceo? Well, let the love in, open your heart today and see how you see yourself in the world.

06-4-10

3 blogs in one day for me to keep my hearts desire and challenge to myself to do a blog a day on a safe place to create. I was at a woman's spiritual retreat for 3 days. No phones or Wi-Fi. So here I am getting all 3 done today. I waited to long to get the first one done and for some reason the computer wouldn't allow me to log in to this account. This made me a little tense then it went down from there. I got behind in the gas line and had to pick up some balloons for the leader of the retreat. Then I couldn't find the paperwork so I didn't know where I was going. That made me even more tense. I got to the retreat 18 minutes late. To me that is not acceptable. Here I was going to a retreat and was stressed out deeply so yes I needed the retreat. No one cared by myself. Then the next thing that made me uncomfortable was doing all of the flowers. They left them for me because I am creative. It scared me and I just threw some flowers in vases and people loved them. I heard my little voice in my head saying, just jump in and do it. And that is what I did.
My challenge to you today is to take a look at that kind of strategy? Just jump in and do it. Using your own style or whatever you have. Because I had to use what I had. I had random flowers and random sized vases. I got lots of compliments.

06-03-10

Hello my dear creative friends. I have been excited about my follow through and getting in by the deadlines. Then I have that little critical voice in my head saying, "well, that is all well and good but you didn't do a very good job with what you submitted." Yes, that is still going on. I believe that may be a human condition. What is the human condition? To me it is the mind, ego or whatever you want to call it, that speaks continuously finds some comfort in suffering, in complaining, in not being good enough. I really don't know a human that doesn't suffer with these issues. If they are perceived to be great, invincible, a really great person may be a cover up for the insecurities from inside. It is like a bully that is the one that has a broken heart and uses that to bully people, it is not a conscious choice. That may what this blog is really about, making conscious choices and this gives you a way to change your life for the better and leave the suffering behind. Oh, yes, let us leave that life behind and bring a new vision to this life on earth. I thought I was born on the wrong planet for many years because the life I came here to live was full of love, beauty and more. When I got shut down for being expressive, too big, for speaking my mind. I found that this planet wasn't safe for me to be me. This of course was my way to survive. I made major decisions in that moment and they stayed with me for years and years. These decisions weren't for my best life and they definitely don't serve me anymore.
My challenge for you today is to take a look at what you believe the human condition is. This may have a very large impact on how you listen, how you perceive every human being. Are humans always striving to do their very best no matter where they are at a particular moment. Are they losers? Let us take a look and see if it serves us and the larger picture anymore?

06-02-10

This is the second day of June and it is pouring down rain. I wore winter boots to work in frustration of the weather. So how does the weather change your mood or make a mood or whatever? I am wanting to dedicate more time to researching how we create. How we stop ourselves and what we can do about those blocks. Another thing I wan to bring to my blog is video, photos, art and much more. My challenge to you today is to take a look at your attitude towards weather. What kind of weather do you perform the best in? What get's you motivated? Are you living in that region? If you are not why not? And then maybe it motivates you even more.......take care..l i n d a

I think I say this a lot. WOW!! Well, I guess it is because I get surprised at life and how it unfolds. Today Wow, is because I finished one of the things I was procrastinating on and really had negative thoughts about before I finished it. Meaning that I wasn't going to get it in the time frame that I was given and I didn't know how to do it. I didn't know how to fulfill the demands of the goal. I find that to be a great motivator and at the same time a great detriment. I have talked about this before on this blog. Yes, time frames, goals and deadlines. These can be good things or bad things, it is all in the way you look at them and/ or how you feel about them.
I have been working on a grant application that I am so excited about and I ran into many delays and technical problems, some in my head and some on the website itself. Then I realized the deadline and it was a month earlier than my original mind thought remembered. When I saw the deadline it put me in a little of a tailspin (which could be a pattern). So I decided to make it a point to get this done and make it work.....well, so far so good. I only have two references to give me their complete information before I send this baby in. I am so grateful for the inner determination that was given to me to finish this grant application. This means what? This means I can do this over and over and over, and get it the way that the universe says, thank you for giving your gift of creativity, thank you, thank you, thank you. And I reply the same, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. With Love, Life and Laughter....l i n d a
