I am so excited and still don't know what to say because so much has happened.  So much internally, outwardly, magically and Big. I am on a vacation in the LA area.  I am seeing many many friends.  I am reconnecting with myself also.  The deep kind of connection that may not happen everyday.  And with the emotion that comes with it it isn't something you want to do everyday.   Facing my deepest fears, some call them demons.  I believe demons, evil, rude, angry, aggressive behavior is all thoughts, beliefs that has been built on broken lives, broken hearts and nothing more.  And of course the opposite is also true.  That a loving, compassionate person live in those kind of thoughts.   There is always a balance.   Too much love that you smother someone and they don't learn how to take care of themselves.  Not enough.   Then there are the beliefs that we make up about what is around us and all of the experiences has a story that fits our profile.
I won't give you a challenge today.  I will just say listen to yourself some time.  Are you speaking to yourself as a friend, an enemy, a looser, a queen\king or what?  Then listen to something that is bigger than yourself. My demons were bigger than myself and I put them in their place,  I will not be afraid of them anymore.  The blocks they put in front of me I will recognize as it is simply a thought that has gotten out of hand.   Sorry, I am the driver of my life and love, not something I made up years ago.  Bye, Bye.   I also recognize you thought you were saving my life.   And I thank you for that but I want my life another way.  One out of love, kind words, space from negative defeating thoughts.   I want to live and play in the bigger picture.  YEAH!!!  Let's do that.

Yes this is the 10/10   what does that mean.  Nothing I don't think.  But the rain is upon us.  I am really focusing on being grateful for what I have and not what I don't have.   My home is wonderful and I have lots of great stuff.  That isn't the most important though.  My health and attitude allows me to love more and be more that I was when I was  hearing and seeing things in a negative way.  Creativity comes way more frequently and I trust it also.   No need to be offended by anyone's opinion.  About anything.  You are you and they are them.   We celebrate out differences. Have a great evening....and get ready for tomorrow

WEll well well, can you believe we are still on that roll of months simply going by.   I get less done every month it seems.  Well, living in the moment is really taking a hold on me and I am making new friends and doing some new things.  I am moving into new areas, I am taking better care of myself.  I am listening to my mind.  and seeing what that mind has to say and how much of it is patterns.  Well, most of them are until I do something different .   Changing is changing what you do, as you change what you think.   The doing can come first.   Loving and taking care of yourself can bring abundance in many ways.  Such as an abundant amount of friends...

This was an awesome day and at the same time I had a headache most of the day and I got bored or something.  I really wanted to be with a friend this evening and get dressed up etc.  But I built a fire, ate my dinner at the pond and the fire.  Then worked on my studio, my art studio, my creative space.  Getting it ready for this winter.  I will need a place to hide away and create.  I am so grateful.  I also played my guitar at the fire and that was so so so so so awesome.   Thank you

I did it and I had so much fun with my music video.  I sang as good as I could.  The practicing helped and the main thing that helped was my attitude.  I could care less how many people showed up and I had fun and I don't care if no one likes it or not.  That is huge for me.  HUGE>
I realized I don't really have hot flashes much anymore also.  But I want to do more of that.  Great supportive friends and all it was awesome.   I felt in my body, confident, doing not for me but for others in some weird way.    Well, I need more of that in my life......love me

Hello the day before my very first music video recording.   It is my number one hit song called,"HOT FLASH"  I have been practicing and is it enough?  We will see I will write more tomorrow after the event.  Wish me well because I have created a safe place to create.

WEll, it has been a long time blog. How are you. I stopped because no one was reading it. But I think I need to do it for me. Maybe I will start writing a new blog. One of a different subject and have people actually read it. Here ares some ideas for my new blot. A conversation with self. How is that one? What else could I write about? Living in the moment? Oh my, now I don't know what to write about. I have created many new things and am getting more ideas all the time I have created a support system for me to create. Now it is time to create something else by studying it and blogging about it. That is how I got my freedom to create, a safe place to create.
Do you understand what what I am saying. By thinking about a safe place to create and putting it the universe it happened. If you believe it, it is true, if you don't believe it it isn't true to you. So there. I started believing about creating and people around me started noticing and even my husband supports all of my crazy art projects. I have met new friends who create and have taught me. I am crying seeing all the tv and movie stars that are dead.
They are close to my age. And Jack Lalane said, it is what you do with your time. I don't do much, I fool people. I am doing more even right now.

OK let us take a look at gossip and inner knowing. I have been caught up in the gossip thing lately. I must not be around the people that I trust to know how to live more in spirit and not in the reality we make up. We make up that people are fat. People are stupid. They don't make the roads right. The parking lot sucks. I hear it all the time. Then I may start down that track thinking I need to tell my truth. Well That is just truth that is caught from the energy hanging around. That is why there is a time for knowing who you truly are. You are the grass, the birds, the trees, the air, the clouds. You are all, you are not the thoughts.
My challenge to you is to ask how much you really know yourself and what you are? Are you what other people think, are you your ego, or are you bigger than any of these human things. Just something to think about.

Wanting to write a little today about creating as usual. Last night out of nowhere I picked up my guitar and wrote a couple little songs. So that was nice and my night was taken over with creative ideas. So that was kind of fun also.
Make room for God was a little saying that came to me in dreamland. Many times my dreamland is filled with clutter. Just as my house and life is.
That is something that I may have to get over. OK had a great day buying gifts for hubby. The whole family is here.

I have had so much stimulation of the creative kind I didn't do much of anything today. It was the hottest day yet. 85 the last I looked. I saved money by doing my own pedicure. And did do a little experimenting with paint but not cleaning and rearranging the house like it needs. I was called a collector yesterday and that is a hoarder. I felt like one and I felt shame also.
The challenge to day is to see if there is something that you may not be taking to heart. I don't want to let go of anything. I love getting more. NO!!! I do have a problem with this. I will take a look at it. I counted how many desks we own. We own 8 desks. Do you think that is enough? Wow!! OK....love to all

The surprise of another day.

The challenge today is to stay focused on new ventures, new energy's and trusting that the lessons you need to learn are in them.
We are changing rooms, studios, storage units all around. There is creativity in movement. Outsid,e I am creating new spaces and inspiring places to be. How about you?

I can not believe it is the first of July. I haven't been feeling very good today. Even though it is one of the first sunny days in a very long time. My throat and tummy aren't doing so good. I cleaned up all of my creative messes today. I have some projects that just didn't turn out. Getting ready to go to the First Friday Art Walk with a new friend.
The challenge is to be comfortable with a new friend and going with the flow of an Art Walk. She is an artist herself and I have seen her art. She hasn't seen mine yet. But soon.
Have a good one.

I am finding I don't have enough patience to wait for the paint to dry for my project. I did art work and am doing the print on the computer and making some posters. It is a great idea but I keep changing the art work and I have to wait before I can put it in the printer. So I am wondering around the house very anxiously instead of doing something else. So I decided to write this. I am still wanting to finish my project.
OK so the challenge is to take a look at your patience. I have more issues as the day progresses and I am still creating. Who knows what, but I have some new techniques that I am trying.

What shall I talk about today. I had to have a needle biopsy today and that turned out to be OK>
I did take drugs to get through it. It really didn't really hurt much but the fear of it all. A dear friend drove for hours to pick me up and take me to the appointment.
The morning was filled with things that I had left to the last minute and it felt great to get them done so I didn't think about the appointment.
I am really getting the message of not moving forward to some of my most creative ideas. The Big Ones. The helping others, with some of the things I do best. I give great guided meditations, I can touch and move energy in peoples bodies. I can connect with them on an energy level. There I said it. Here is the challange, instead of ever being a victim. I want you to voice you victorys. Yes Voice your Victorys. If you failed at something or made a mistake those will be the things that you remember. But our victorys no matter how small will build you up so you can remember you are capable and confident. So yell it from the roof tops and it will even help energy move around the world. Lets get it going. I am

What is the best in the whole world. It is getting up after sleeping outside and taking the dog out for a walk, then the hot tub, then yoga and stretching on the front patio, then a meditation while puppy plays in the grass. This is the weather that accounts for such great moments.
My challenge to you is to look at what you have been desiring and then see how that may or may not happen. Is weather in the way. or the way you think about weather? It is juss something to take a look at.
take care dear blog friends....l i n d a

I know the date. I know the date. Yeah!!!! I worked at health screenings yesterday and today and that is awesome. People are just wonderful, living the best they can and wanting to know their numbers of their blood, weight and BMI. They can start there and go to where they want to go.
The challenge today is to ask you. do you know your numbers? Creative people may ignore the wellness programs that may be availble. I am not talking about going to the doctor, I am talking more about self care and self awareness and knowing where you are with that. I do see the biggest problem with that. How do you do that? Please seek out any free or additional help you may find. This can actually help you start a program or a group that supports you in your health, and besides that gives you mre time to create. That I crave and love.

06-21-11

This is the first day of Summer, so what are people complaining about. I think it is a pretty cool day if I don't say so myself. I got to make some money today. Did a health screening, and tomorrow I will get to do another one. Love it.
Creativity kind of leaves me when I am so into the next person. That I love. That is creativity itself. Being gentle and loving with people when they may feel vulnerable. Taking their blood and weight, height, waist measurements and then the results. Sometimes it is a wake up call.
The challenge today for me and you is to stay connected and keep your own energy while giving to others. I sometimes give too much to my poochy, that is something I need to change. I too have a life. And I have to work

06-18-11

On a roll. Meaning I am feeling better and better and I actually see a future in life. Is it a sunny day. Is it changing my mind. What is it. I have a list at least a dozen long of projects that have been bubbling inside me for quite some time. Realized I haven't done anything about any of them. This is not the way of the world. I have to voice my victorys and not be a victim. How is that for moving forward. So I am moving.
How about you? Are you moving or are you stuck. Invisioning a new way. I had given up on doing anything with my life except sit in the wet Oregon Forest. But that is not how it is. I have many things, all things can be done from my sweet sweet home. I am giving it permission to fill my soul. I will take real good care and bless it every day. Even on the rainy days. That is your daily challenge. Can you bless your living situation. I can.

I am inspired today. Why? I really got down to some realizations yesterday after a fun day of cleaning and getting a little organized after the new washer and dryer didn't come after 10 days of no laundry. IT will be another 10 days. So I will be wearing things I haven't worn in years.
HA> I probably have enough to dress a for a year and not wear the same thing. It would look pretty funny wearing my 70's rock and roll clothes. And yes I can still fit into them. So there are good and bad things. Bad is I still have some of them. (Clutter and hanging on) But you already heard the good news I can still fit into them.
I had a fun exercise yesterday that really got my energy up and going. I set the timer for 15 minutes and got as much done as I could in that time. Then I sat it again and again for 10 minutes. I got more done in that time than I usually get done in a week. Being the challenge today. Try it. Expecially if it is something that you don't want to do. What it actually did was jump start many other activities that I did yesterday and it is lasting into today. I did it originally so I could let the dog have short periods without me having to give him attention. I gave him his favorite bully stick, I have to get more today. HA> Have a wonderful creative day. I am.

The days are going by aren't they. I gave myself 3 little jobs to do today and I did at least 5 things I have been wanting to do. I have a load for the goodwill and clutter has been put away in a few cases. It does help me with my focusing.
The age old challenge of what have you been putting off. And why do you put things off. Have a real great day.

I haven't been blogging much lately, I do have to admit that life has gotten in the way. My challange for you today is to take a look at your life. What is getting in your way? Is it you? Your animals? Your children? Your spouse? Maybe your schedule or a habit that you would rather do without? I will just let you figure that out. How about that?

My gosh. I was going to say it was 1999. IT isn't it is 2011. I have just came back from a very very wonderful womans retreat with Karen Drucker. Look her up. She is awesome. I was on the commitee and that was awesome and easy with our leader.
The challenge today is to take a look at your organization skills. I just heard of micro-movements. That is the chance to not get overwhelmed and allow the inner critic to take over. I named my critic Candy so that pissed her off. Maybe it is a mans voice. But now she knows how this works.

Having the great big heart. I saw a woman on TV that paints pictures of the fallen soldiers. She has done over 800 for the families that have lost a loved one. She has other artists that help and they have done over three grand. This is using your creative energy to give back. It brought a tear to my eye. The challenge for us today is to see what we may be able to do to give back to the community. Even if you don't do it can you come up with something that your creative heart can create for the good of a larger picture. I am gonna come up with something how about you.>
Who knows it may start a new way to create in the world.

Nothing went as planned today. And I have to admit I went with the flow. I got up late so was only going to half of my meditation group and went there and no one was even there. So I had an hour and a half before work. So I ate out and took a nap in the car before work. I went to work early and then they asked if I wanted to go home. I mean I was going to work until 6:30 and I got off at 1:15. Wentin at one. So I decided to get a pedicure and really take time for myself and not worry about everyone else. I did that.
I wanted to get inspired in the moment. The weather is not very inspiring right now so I was looking for it in other ways. So I guess this is the time for a challenge. Well, it is a holiday and I am not giving one. I just want to experience the moment and say HEY!! Happy holiday.

05-27-11

I got my blog back and I am excited. The whole site was down in my computer. So now I have to figure out what to write about today. I will finish it later....Hello everyone....
The challenge that I found during the day is remembering what I created yesterday. It was a song that came to me and I was driving. So I had to learn how to record the melody on my new phone. So I did. While I was driving to an appointment that I had after work. But I am telling you this is a great song for a women of my age. And I have a dead line to finish it. That is the best for me. Deadlines.

I m having a hot flash right now and just got the notice I have to cook dinner. I was talking about the house being is such disarray I don't have any place to go or do and then I have to cook in a kitchen that doesn't have a floor in it. Well, it has a floor but only dirty wood.
I will be creating a new look for many rooms since we are taking everything out and redoing the floor. I will allow the floor to give me the secrets of the room. Maybe I need to really think of what the rooms main functions are and go from there. Just like on HGTV. Now that is my challenge, What is yours? Any ideas please send them to me.

A day of travel and reflection. Wish I was hauling a trailer and going on a really great road trip. I am simply heading home. And my home is in transition. The furniture is misplaced and the floor is ripped up ready for the new floor. My hubby is working very very hard to get this all taken care of.
The challenge for today is to do your own reflection on the day. This is my day also. Have a good one and enjoy the moment.

05-20-11

Yes it is thse 20th. I blogged yesterday with the wrong date and that is OK because I missed a few days anway. I am feeling better and better. The anxiety of life can really build up and take it's toll. We will be paying those tolls when the doctor bills come in.
I want to invite you to clean out the closet of your mind and see if there is some little demon hiding in there. Maybe some old rotten memory that hasn't had the light of day for a long time. The light into the darkness is a great way to shine that light into your heart and not fear the day, not fear your creativity. Take a look, open a few closed doors. See what you find.

Changing grounds, Meaning the actual ground you walik on. I have been on soggy ground for so long and hadn't developed my sea legs that I think I became a little unstable. I am now on solid ground in Central Oregon. I woke up at 2:30 am and felt the expansion of the land. The solid ancient ground I was on. This brought a really great feeling to my body.
The challenge for you today and forever is to check and see what your body is feeling where you are walking. Where you are living, where you travel too. Where is your grounded feeling? Have you found it better at the ocean, on top of the mountains. I have been feeling ungrounded and I am seeking the responsible, unselfish groundedness that is for myself, my family and everyone that I touch. Think about it.

I know I haven't kept up with my blog. I know I haven't downloaded my photos. I know I am tired all the time... I know I don't sleep well at night. So what do I do? What do you do? That is the challenge. Are you keeping up with what you want? Are you just to tired? Well, I am moving into the energy mode. So there you go!!

05-13-11

Missed some days of blogging. And I did it on purpose. Why? Because I didn't want to. A little angry, a little out of sorts. Working a lot and having hubby take care of the house. Much needed and loved outdoor work getting done.
The challenge today is to stay focused on living each moment and experiencing them Don't let the experience be the bloss of you.

This will be fast as I am going to go to work real soon. All the boys are here to help me put stuff in all the right places. I am moving things around again. Getting ready for spring cleaning, spring changing. The challenge for the day is to do something you have been putting off. Really, just do it. Thanks.. it is done. love ya me. Also give yourself some credit today. Even if it is simply for getting out of bed. I did.

05-09-11

Monday again. Round and round we go, where we go nobody knows. If I could do anything I wanted I would dress up and go shoppig. I would go have a cup of coffee and read a magazined. It is Monday and the whole family is here. That means the energy is very unusual. One person sleeping, one watching TV. No real plans with each other. I would like to paint a picture, get my beads out and make a mess. I can't do any of that. The dog needs to be taken care of, the house is torn apart and you couldn't paint if you wanted too. I am a victim of my own victim mind. I could do anything that I want, I just choose not too. So there!!!!
How about you what are you telling yourself you can't do but you really may be able too?

Sunday, May 8, 2011

05-08-11

Happy Mother's Day!!! The challenge today is to take a look ato yourself and ask yourself are you a mother in one way or another. Even if you area a daughter or a son you have the mothering instinct in you to take care of your mother today. I am really seeing how everyone has a mothering instinct in us. How does that work with Creativity? Making a safe place to create. I believe that I have created that for all of us. Gary is always creating now, I am always changing and creating. See, this is all good.

Saturday, May 7, 2011

Is this the right date? That could be the challenge for some of us. We really don't know what the dates are if we are really really in the moment. That is the challenge of this day. I will tel more tomorrow about what has happened today. love to all.

Cinco De Mayo or how ever you spell it. Tequila Thursday then right? Hopefully not for all. It is a full day so the blog comes out early in the day for me. I am challenging you to make an intent for the day. Mine is to stay in the moment as much as possible. Then come back to the moment if you get lost in thought or lost in doing or just lost. What is your intent? I have some creative ideas I really want to get some things done.

Wednesday, May 4, 2011

I don't even know where I would want to start. The challenge today is to just relax and see what would be your next step.

05-03-11

Got a tummy ache, eat grass. I don't know that is what animals do. I have been given some creative ideas and I think that I need to write them down. I want to use some recycled products. I am liking that idea of art from what we see as waste.
Wasted. Isn't that a great concept. We are all Wasted. That is actually a song.
The challenge today is to take time to do something that you haven't done in a while. Be in the room that you are in. See the clutter, see the dust, see the unfinished projects. See the moment and the beauty. See that you aren't even in theis world. See that you are in this world. Wow.
I just thought of all my precious pictures we put on my hubby's computer on our trip and now his computer has a virus. Wasted. I hope that it comes back to me. My precious art photos.

We don't need to stop our thought-we can change our relationship witht them to be more present and aware of our thinking. Thoughts aren't facts and they are not acts. They're just thoughts, part of the passing mental landscape..like clouds moving across the sky. They are not the sky and the sky remains unchanged by them. The way to be with them is jus to watch them go by. Saron Salzberg.
I love that quote. My challenge for you is to see what you think about it? Do you believe your thoughts, your thoughts you had as a child, a teen, an adult? Do you hang on to them like they are real. Live them over and over and over again. It would be nice to take a new look at thoughts and see when we can come up with. Good luck with that one.

Happy May day. This is a great day because we are experiencing it. Whther it good, bad or ugly. If you are reading this our heart is beating and our breath is sustaining us. We can experience what is happening within us and ourside of us without judging it. Simply noticing the sensations.
The challenge today is to live with what is happening all of these sensations, feelings, thoughts and whatever it may be. Peace be with you.
I will tell about the near death experience we had yesterday with a car accident. Yes, that we were in. The great thing is I wasn't scared when I was in the face of death.

Another month has went by and on we go into the future. and still in the now I would hope.
I am not in the now as much as I would like. I come home and I fall right back into the routine that I am not that excited about.
This is the challenge. Having the experience of newness and freshness inside your normal, maybe mundane, maybe boring, maybe overwhelming situation. Is that the truth or your perception?

The Royal Wedding. I mean come on, can you imagine the pressure. OK. Celine Dion, millions upon millions on her voice. She is a mom of 3 and has to perform perfect every night. Pressure. Put that into perspective. Is that why we hide? Is that why we don't voice our gifts? The pressure of not using our voices, our creative power, our simple human nature. Now that is a stress i am sure you can understand.
So this challenge is to separate you and your perceptive of stress, or presssure and find the space to simply be. Like the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Lake Tahoe, they are grand and they just are. I just saw them all for the first time in these last 2 days. Creative ideas flow.

Sun, Sun and more Sun. Just think about it. What weather would inspire you? What creative juice does weather bring. Slumpy slumpy dumpy, or happy hippity healthy creations. I am experiencing the happy hippity healthy creations.

I am so excited that I actually feel pretty darn good this morning. Been having troubles with many health issues. My heart is actually beating at it's normal rate. I didn't get enough sleep though. The challenge for everyone is to make a date with yourself and feed your soul. I am going to take my sketch book and draw. And draw. And draw. I want to have another series of linoleum blocks. How about you.

I have missed many days this month. That has happened because of physical and mental problems. How do you feel about them? How much do you cause yourself and how much do you take in from the outside and how much do you think is caused by the environment? That is your challenge for today. The easter bunny day. Let us take a look at all of that!!!

The challenge for you today is to take a look at your physical issues and great things. Cuz I am really dealing with a sleeping issue that is only a change in my physical change with age. Not so fun!!

Now I see why advertisers try to make you feel good. We are programed to suffer. The brain is always into suffering. I am on a mission to find out somthing that normal everyday people can do to actually move into a non-suffering place.The challenge is to see if you can not suffer for a day.

I think that I want to get serious about my blog again. Because I surrender to the obvious. I have no control over anything and the frustration of trying to control things is bringing great anxiety to my body and my life.
My challenge for you today and every day of your life is having space between each thought. Sometimes I can do and sometimes I can not. Thank you l i n d a

My house is in chaos and I am also in that mode. I have enjoyed working and learning some new things. But too much newness gets to me sometimes. The challenge is to take a look at newness in your life. It can be change but a whole new outlook, new heating system, new internet, new computers, new deck, new people running through the house. Making things feel good again can be task. I didn't even want to come home to the chaos. It just tires me to be around it all. All I can do is watch HGTV. What a life.

I wasn't going to blog anymore. I wasn't going to live anymore. HA. No, I am in a little bit of a depression I think. My heart is beating way to much. Anxiety attacks, hot flashes and more. I am feeling better now. The challenge is to trust and beliee things are really OK. I am not seeing OK. I see a life unlived. What are you doing?

04-08-11

What I am dealing with is anger, angst and sadness. I am about ready to explode with stuff and I don't even know what. I need to go away by myself like I used to. Talking to people won't help me I don't think. Exploding might help. The challenge today is to take a look at exploding and how that would look. I don't think that is a possiblity. No one reads this so I could explode and no one would notice. Does that sound like a victim. I think so. Nap time. huh? Then the Art Walk tonight featuring me. As an actor and casting director. Yes. that is me. The Art of Auditioning for Commercials......

Wow, what things can happen in a moment. The whole front porch is now open and a patio into the yard. This are looking great. The challenge is how do you feel about doing things for free for others. Today I took a risk and actually taught a class of what I may do every morning. I meditate, we meditated, I did easy Yoga and Pilates and we did that together also. She loved it. I gave her some homework. We are staying conscious. I am working on that. We are looking at eating and how we don't take care of ourselves. We are obusive to ourselves in many ways. I am wanting others to really take care of themselves. How about that. I am doing it for free, it is a risk for me cuz my mind says you don't even know what you are doing. Well, I want to teach what I need. And that is great. It worked out also. My friend was feeling awesome when she left and wants to keep it up. I want more people to love themselves and not feel depressed or stressed. I need it so I will teach what I need.

04-06-11

I am starting with the Challenge. I left one of my journals out in the rain and all of the ink blurred and the pages stuck together. All that Angst just washed away. It made me realize that everything like that isn't really important today. And who cares and who will remember in 100 years. So why do we worry so? Why do we get so stressed and depressed. I wish I could just let that all go and live right now, it this moment. How about you?

04-03-11

I am not living in the moment. I am really wanting another state of mind. What is that about? Wanting a different feeling. I could just go to bed and be fine. But I have others that are dependant on me. Hubby and Puppy. The challenge is to ask yourself if you feel others are dependant on your energy? I feel that and I want to stop that. Do you?

This is the day of aquarious, aquarious, aquarious. That song was singing in my head. Do you have music singing in your head? The challenge of the day. The songs in your head, they may come out as a painting, a dance, a new necklace. How about that. We love you. Serve all and be well.

No Aprils Fools for you, or me or my hubby. Why is that? I forgot until late. And then I chose not to do anything......I am so grateful for my body. I really6 think that my girlfriends parents aren't doing very well and my mind is stressed with that. I am stressed with not being home enough. I am stressed about being stressed. Ha. that is what I am trying to get away from. This is the challenge still, The past, the now that gets in somehow and you think it is stress. I am making it up. The more my schedule fills up the more anxious my body gets, my mind gets and it catches up with me. I want a way out. I do different things to get out. I charged some clothes today that made me feel good. And I am isolating some. This is because I am getting uptight for no reason. Help me. Check it out and see what you do>>>>>>>>

Hubby wanted a project and we had two indoor ones to do, but I came up with a creation that was outside and guess what. He loved it and it is in the works right now. I created and it shall be done. He thinks it is a great idea. This is a challenge sometimes to bring something like that to the for front. It costs money and it is a big challenge that will change the front of our house. We are both excited. I thought maybe he would not like it plus it costs money. How do you feel about sharing your creations and see what others say about them

This is it only one more day of the month. And was I waiting for something? I don't think so. I don't even care that this month went by fast. It went by is what matters. I am alive. With others having health problems it is good to be grateful for our health. I was a little under the weather today from my own self abuse but I am so over that. All I wanted was to feel good and get a good nights sleep tonight. That brings up the challenge for you, do you ever abuse yourself with too much food, too busy, too anything? Well, if you do stop. I did.

Cooper in the vets getting his baby teeth pulled. Hope he is alright!!!! I haven't worried about him. I made a point of not worrying. I can put some space between me and my thoughts and that is a miracle. I love it. I also see where I am responsible for many reactions out of people. Are you? Do you take responsibility for how people treat you? You trained them. I trained my hubby, my son, my friends how to treat me. Some of them I am changing that reaction. As my heart opens I can be more responsible for myself and my reactions and actions. You got the Challenge, it is the question...Are You? There take that...

Morning Blog....Morning Blog!!!! IT is almost like a warning Blog!!! Now I will do some Yoga so that I can find something to write about. Well, the day went by so fast because I had to go to work right in the middle of my morning routine. I hadn't checked out the schedule. I hope this is going to work. The challenge to day is to see if you can have things happen and it not change your attitude. I had many things happen and I just went on as I was earlier. Having a very wonderful day. Even though I didn't know I worked, my husband could have rubbed it in. HE didn't but I could have made up what he was thinking and really got all uptight. I didn't. This mindful meditation is working. Thoughts aren't things. They are just that thoughts. They come and they go and they mean nothing unless we give them the believability. Can't do it.

03-27-1

Yes, it is the 27th and on and on we go. The challenge today is to see what emotions keep coming up for you? Do you have reoccuring emotions around a certain happening? How do you react to it? Do you try and stop it, maybe get mad that it happens, try to hide it, push it down? There are so many ways to react to an emotion. I have had a few today that are very very old and I have allowed them to come up. I have found that to be the healthiest way and to realize that it is simply a habit in my body and mind. It is not somthing solid. IT is very awesome. I am excited that it really isn't real. YEAH!!

Hello everyone!! A wonderful Saturday and I am thinking of Spring cleaning. I have many lists to write. Why is it when the sun comes out we want to clean up the messes that we made during the darker months. Well it does make sense when I put it that way.
The challenge for you is to take a look at your instincts or natural urges. Are they natural or are they the retail telling us to buy bins and get it together. I don't know what do you think?

Friday, March 25, 2011

03-25-1

Let us begin with the question. Have you ever had your mind explode? Something happens and so many thoughts and beliefs and past experiences come in that you freeze. You are on overload. I have done that all my life and just now noticing it. I could talk or give my point of view on situations because of the paralyzed fear of everything. It made no sense I couldn't get to me. I had covered myself up out of protection for so many years that it was impossible to be in the moment with a fresh current look. This is human nature, it is natural to have a flood of thoughts come in in any given moment. Maybe obsessive thoughts on a subject, he said, I should have said, boy next time I will tell them what I think. Sound familiar. Living yesterday or 50 years ago over and over and over. It is is simply a habit. No problem. The challenge for today is if you see someone you know very well. Even if it is a pet. See if you can give up the past stories and see with fresh eyes. See them with a childs wonderment. I saw strengths in people where I was only seeing weakness or wrongness. My needing to be right. Now these things can be very tiring. I want peaceful energy and create from there. How about you?

Thursday, March 24, 2011

03-24-11

It is the 24th. I kind of couldn't believe it. When I woke up today I thought to myself, "this may not be that good of a day". Why? Because yesterday was an awesome day and how could this day match that. Well, it is not supposed to match, each day, each moment is new and a new experience. So I went with the new experience and then things happened differently and I accepted them and lived in the moment of experience.

The question for you is how do you move through the day? Do you live in how you think it all needs to unfold. Or do you push your way through the day, believing you are forcing through and it is working? Just take a look without judgement. It is very interesting what we tell ourselves. Sometimes we can live and suffer in a day when it is only how we are seeing the day with our veils of past, hurt, anger. etc.

03-23-11

I am willing and wanting to write a very deep heavy and intense blog about Happiness. Are you happy? That is the question for the day. Really take a look at how your brain works. Do you think you were born happy? Did that stay or is there a time when happiness seemed to change into something else for you? What do you think will make you happy or happier? Are friends and family more important than money and being important? Many Many happiness questions. I don't wake up happy. Most of my dreams are not happy and then I usually wake up in some sort of bad mood that I have to change into one of joy and peace. How about you?

Hello Spring lovers. Yes, we have a whiff of spring today and I am digging it. So not where does that put our creative lives. Do we just want to go outside and play? YES!!! But play can get the imagination and the creative juices going.
This is the question for today. Do you have plans for this Spring and Summer? Maybe some traveling, some building, some Spring cleaning. I have them all. I love it. I am feeling better and better and better. Have a good one dear friends.

03-21-11

Here we go, isn't it the first day of Spring. Here comes the rain. It was sunny for a moment there.
My question to you (which is the challenge) is, do you like to work in chaos or peace. Meaning the creative process. Or are there both etc. I want to hear all of you exciting thoughts on this.

Sunday, March 20, 2011

03-20-11

I don't know what to talk about today. You would think I would run out of talk, or I would choose not to write when almost no one reads my blog. This must not be for others. It must be for me.
This brings up the challenge for you? Do you create for others or do you do it for yourself? I vote for us first and then share. I am making a set of 4 linoleum art blocks and printing them for some of my friends. I will also frame them and give them as presents. They are visions that I have gotten in my meditations. So they are all original. Don't tell them.

OK. Where is your power? Mine I have given up for all of my life. I allow others to tell their woes and to tell me about all of their issues. And I don't do that. So I am not authentic because everyone has those ups and downs.
The challenge today for you is to ask yourself if you claim your power? Power isn't bossy or mean or getting your way. It is saying what your truth is and not to hurt anyone else. That has been one of my biggest issues. I never want to hurt anyone the way I (believed) I was hurt. So I don't live my life in any sort of a full way. I am shut down and never even lived in a state that I may want to live in. I don't want to die with that being an issue. Let us see. Power is standing up and facing someone even when you know it may not please the other person. People do it to me all the time so I can learn the lesson to just get up and tell what I believe in a given situation instead of it swarming around in my head like that crazy monkey. Take that readers. See how powerful that is.

Stress, everywhere, really or not? I don't think so Stress is in your mind not something that is following you around all the time. You may have bills but they aren't following you around either, so there are moments you can let go of those thoughts. Maybe the challenges of the world bother you, maybe you can't even sleep. You are recreating it over and over and over. But it really is already over and maybe there is a positive thing you can do to make things better not replaying the terror that may have occurred. These are just some ideas that maybe can give you some perspective on anxiety. And of course I always have total control over all of mine. HA!
I am challenging you today to see what your thoughts are on these thoughts. How do you deal with stress? Can you find something to laugh at? Sometimes it is so obsurd that all you can do is laugh. I like that idea. Help each other and help me understand why we our our own worst enemys when it comes to stress. No one can do anything to us unless we allow it.

Maybe I did miss a day. These days I have a little trouble taking it all in. I feel a little tired. A little stiff and like a need a vacation. I am making things more stressful than it has to be to have a pet? Maybe not.
The challenge today is to be in the moment and take it as it comes. Also be grateful for what is arriving. Now, that is a challenge isn't it?

03-16-11

Pain!! Let us talk about pain. It can be there and it can be gone. My dear friend hurt herself in a little excursion and realized anger might have been the cause of it all. It isn't like a little cramp it is a full on can't walk (hardly) kind of pain. It is not fun to see her face when it hits.
Then we ask why? Did we bring this on ourself or the universe? What?
The challenge for you is to take a look at what kind of pain you are having in your body or mind and ask, Why? Is is something I brought on myself by not allowing an emotion or a reality to appear. To accept the who, what and why that we are? I love you all and remember you are a beautiful creation of life even when we forget.

Tuesday, March 15, 2011

03-15-11

OK. Let us look at what is happening in our lives. My life, your life, the doggies life. Well, there is always struggle if we believe that. There is always lack if we believe in that. I am working at having a natural mind which means allowing what happens to happen and witnessing it an not having judgements on these things that I could judge. Other people could judge and they usually do so then I have a judgement on a judgement. Think about that. That is the challenge.

And yet again another month is passing us by. The question I am asking is how BIG are you? Meaning are you playing small? To afraid to the big presence that you were meant to be? My answer is Yes!! Now what do I do with that information. I do not know yet, but I will keep you informed. Love the one your with and that is always YOU!!

Movie day before the big storm. We actually shot all the shots before the wind and rain came. It was fun. I got very tired. Because we lost an hour last night and then I was up working. Too much work even if it is on a movie. Let us see.
The challenge today is to stay cool and not get stressed out. Easy to say but hard to do huh? Why would I bring that up today? I am looking at a big week and just wished I had time to sleep, sleep, and more sleep. That is all I really want right now. Maybe some dreamland with the sleep. The storm seems to be over. Have a good one!!!

Saturday, March 12, 2011

03-12-11

Being creative sometimes means getting up early. That is it for me tomorrow. Up for a movie shoot. My husband, son and puppy get to hang out. NOt me. This is just another day in the day and life of me.
The challenge for you is to say, what is the day and the life of you? That is what I am all about. YOU!!!

OK. I have been very busy like I had talked about before but without the sickness I am grateful to announce having experience a whole new creative medium. Linoleum blocks. You carve out the light parts and the dark parts stay. It is like backwards for the mind. I loved it. It was pretty kind of strange but I loved it.
The challenge for you today is take a look if you take the risk and try something that you don't even know what is. I have never ever ever heard of this but a friend sent me an email and I chose this class out of all of them and I do love it. Great for you great for me. Love!!

Self Sabitoge. That is the challenge for everyone today. I woke up really wondering what the heck I am doing in every relationship, every job etc. When the monkey mind makes up so much dischord it is hard to be at peace with oneself. I have been very blocked. My physical therapy session showed that. The sickness, the cough, the work, no creativity. Wow, How do we get so out of hand. Human nature is very strange. I sure hope little squirrels, birds and deers don't worry like we do. Please NO!

Wednesday, March 9, 2011

03-09-11

The challenge today is to ask yourself how busy are you? It seems that all the people that I am around are so busy they aren't taking care of themselves and they are getting sick. I was one of them. I allowed myself to get overwhelmed with other peoples energys and got sick. Now I am suffering for it as is everyone else. I am excited to say that I see the light at the end of the tunnel. Where I can truthfully say many don't see any light they only see more overwhelm, I am taking the time to see the good and the beauty and be grateful. Thank you.

I heard today a quote that I loved. "It doesn't make any sense but I love it!" This was a creation that was made from a crib springs. I just loved the movement of creation that made his creation. Where does that come from
This is the challenge of the day. Can you see something in your life that you may have used that really made no sense. Those are some of my favorite creations. This gentleman reused many objects to create art or someting else useful. I want to take a look at that a little more. How about you?

Hello, I know that this is a great day. Yesterday I realized again that I can be loving kindness. And you know what, you need to be that for yourself first. We have it all right now, we are whole right now.
This challenge is for eveyone. Can you actually believe those concepts? I am working on it.
Have a great one.

I woke up this morning and decided that I have a lot to give and by gosh I am going to give it, even if I have to give it for free. I think teaching acting, etc would be my best bet. And then I got a call offering me a space to teach. I am sure that this was because of a decision that I made. I challenge you to make a decision. See how that happens for you.

I am missing my dear friends from afar. I have had to think a lot lately because I have been sick. I haven't had a cold for years. And I have had a sore throat and now sinuses are hurting. Let us think of friends today, and taking care of ourselves first of all so that we can take care of others. The challenge is to not forget this.

This is a day of cancellations. I just might have had a mini breakdown that ended up in illness. The breakdown was of no fault of my own. I mean I have no idea how it happened. But I do know I didn't feel grounded So the big challenge is to take that and move ON. Oh my gosh I am trying that right now and I don't eene waht to look at the scren>\? I thinkyou get my message

What shall I talk about today. I am excited to be singing in the choir today and tomorrow I will be attending a art class. I am excited about being abundant enough to do these things. Meditation on Sunday and just lots of positive things happening right now.
The challenge is to invest in yourself. How much are you willing to do? 50.00, 5,000.00? It is all about investing time and money into yourself and your creativity.

Wednesday, March 2, 2011

03-02-11

Here we are again. I am wanting to talk about being a teacher and being a student. They always say when your ready the teacher will be there. I do believe that things happen the way they are supposed to. Many times I may not even want them to happen. Is that fighting the now? I believe it is. This is the challenge for today. Are you a teacher or a student right now?

I didn't write my blog yesterday. IT was the very first day I rebelled and didn't write. I was mad at the world. For only a while. Well, I am over that. It might have been the rain storm that we had yesterday. Today I am being simple. Don't need to make things to tough. I have the kitchen counter looking great. And am working on the dining room table that has collected daily projects.
Thanks for the comment dear friend.
A challenge for our moods is to do something Springy now. Maybe spring cleaning. Plant something springy. I will. Will you?

Oscars. Yes, it is the Academy Awards.
The challenge today to ask you was there an award that you inspired to get? Do you even think you really could have gotten them? I did. I really was headed that way. And I gave my focus to family and that may have been an excuse but I love my family and I committed to a marriage and had a son and committed to that also. Those were my main causes. What about yours?

Happy birtdhay dear sister. The cold is still here and it seems to run right through you. I got caught naked outside this morning. What fun was that. I had to go to the front of the house with my towel on. Oh, well, I did get in the house. A fluck board fell and locked the sliding glass door from the inside. I thought the front door was locked but to my surprise it wasn't. It is all good.
The challenge is to ask yourself if you can keep on doing things for yourself when no one knows about it. I mean and go on and on. Or do you need outside confirmation? I am wondering that about myself. The affirmation of someone else noticeing you have lost weight or have more muscles than before or your outlook on life is fresh comes as a good thing. But then there are the things we just do for ourselves. I want to take a look at them and make them some sort of sacred time. The Intelligence of the Universe knows we are doing these things. Whether we label them good or bad. We are not alone.

Oh, my!! Just remembered it is my sisters birthday tomorrow. I have to get a card off to her online. My day was all about Light!! Because the light outside was so bright today. The snow is gone but the sky was so bright with the clear blue. This day gives hope and creativity a boost.
I haven't driven for a while with this cold weather.
Challenging us today is an easy fix. Yes, a can of spray paint. I am adding a color to our living room. IT is really fun. I did a music stand and a wicker basket and then I can see if bigger pieces of furniture with this color will add to our room. What can you do with a can of spary paint. My best on your adventure. My dad used to love to use up the paint so we would find very weird things bright yellow as he had a little left and wanted to paint something. Maybe I take after my dad. I did get a real poer painter for my birthday, so I am getting ready to move up to the big boys. YEah!! Have fun everyone.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!! Let it ice, more ice and more ice. NO!! I am so blessed to not have to go many places today or tomorrow. I need help!! I need plastic surgery!! I am just old looking. Inside I am not old. Isn't that the real issue? I remember my mom looking in a window as she walked by and saying, "Who is that old woman?" Her young giving spirit was inside this aging body. Now, I am in that same situation. And I don't think that I am dealing with it as well as my mom did.
Another thought, do you ever see that you may be before the curve? This is the challenge that I am giving you in this new world of a safe place to create. I have always thought of things before others, I really don't have the drive to actually give one idea the 110% that it may need to move it forward. I have a belief tha I wasn't born with that. I have learned so much about actually changing your DNA. Meaning what you believe you were born to do, what you were born into, what your experiences have given you a view. These views may be very false. But you have decided they are true. NOT TRUE!!

This has been a way long day. Got up before 3:00 am and worked 10 hours not with a 2 hour lunch and then the hour drive each way. But it is for peoples health and that is important and I do love it.
The challenge for today is to look at the financial creativity we have created and the time that we may need to heal from all the financial creativity?

Tuesday, February 22, 2011

02-22-11

The challenge today is to face the day after a great day. Wow, maybe I am coming down from the Birthday Rush. I had an awesome day. Thank you all of my friends. Just think about it.

What I want to talk about today is making a pact with yourself. Making yourself the number 1 in you life, because if you don't you are cheating everyone else of your greatness.
I am writing a pact for this next year of my life. As I have in this blog I need to commit to taking care of myself, in many ways. Health, Mind, Spirit. In my life if I put spirit first the other things fall into place better. I have meditated for 20 years and believe me not everyday is the same. IT is totally OK. Just by taking the time to do the meditation is a practice. You have to practice to be good at anything. The challenge for all of us is to ask yourself what you practice. What would you like to practice something? I have to give myself credit for the things I do practice. I practice connecting (meditation) I practice my singing with choir, I practice sharing on this blog daily. I am in consideration for this blog of the year commitment. Adding a new focus. take care. And Happy Birthday to ME!!

The day before the big day. The birthday day. I was born at 2:05 in the morning. A friend of mine said to set my alarm and set an intention for the rest of the year. So I think I am going to do that. I guess I need to figure out what that intention is going to be. The other thing I need to decide is whether I am going to change the focus of this blog.
The challenge of the day is to ask yourself what you do special for your own birthday. You for you. I learned a long time ago you can't depend on others to remember or do what you want them to do. Next year I am planning on a big birthday and I am planning it with women and not men. So we will see how that works. I could just give up and fall into the pattern I have been in for a while and just not have hope for a great prosperous fun future. I kind of gave all of that up and thought I would just be sitting in this house in the rain the rest of my life. I am giving that up. I am going to go for a conscious life, an awareness, give up judgements and labels. Or at least recognize when they are happening. Health is important. Exercise. Wanting to be more active and open to more people. IT is already starting so I need to keep it up for this next year. Come along with me on this journey of a larger love, a larger bank account and more people in my life. Thank you so much for this future. See I feel better already. I may need to blog in the morning not later. HUH??

I have a quote that excites me and I want to share it with my creative friends. This is from the book "This Thing Called You" by Ernest Holmes.

I know that the Divine Spirit is operating through me now.
I know that I am not limited by anything that has happened, or by anything that is now happening.
I am entering into an entirely new set of conditioms and circustances.
That which has no limit is flowing throught my consciousness into action.
I am guided by the same Intelligence and inspired by the same Imagination which scatters the
moonbeams across the waves, and holds the forces of nature in Its grasp.

See what I mean? I was given a song (that I wrote) that is called,"We're all made of the same stuff" And I believe we all are. The mountains, birds, trees and me.

The challenge for today is to ask yourself what are your beliefs about the mechanics of the world, you body and all living things? Do you think they have the perfect Intelligence. I do.
I am planning on changing my blog a little for the next year from my birthday on. I will add to the safe place to create by saying Making every day count. (Or something like that) As I have not decidrd yet. Give me your thoughts.

OK, For the writings I have found from years ago I am still dealing with the same old same old. Not loving myself enough, not trusting myself enough, trying to hide from life. Is that the human condition? I would like to hear from you on this. Suffering, blah blah blah.
I felt so so good this morning I just felt totally clear and focused. As the day progressed I got stressed and then my shoulders were around my ears and I couldn't come down. I finally did, cleaned out a closet and got bags ready for the Goodwill. One thing that I did find that I want to share is this little ditty that I found next to the same writings of not liking myself so much. This is what I found in a workout coat.

In the stilness of a child's heart
And imagination, all things are possible
The breath of creation in each moment.
Sticks marking mansions in the sand
With invisible walls to an eye that cannot live this life.

I do love it when I find gold in the rubble. Maybe that is the idea. The meaning. How many times do you have to write something of negative nonsense or release negative thoughts to create something. As I challenge you to take a look at this, look at what you have created in the negative times and what may have came out of it. What about the golden threads that are mixed in with the darkness. I have an idea that that is what this blog is about today. I have worked hard today cleaning up messes and getting rid of many items that I have never been able to let go of and yet it wasn't enough. Until I wrote this blog and see that it can't all be gold. But to treasure the gold and allow the other to go to the Goodwill. See it will turn into gold in their world. Have a great weekend. And I will be seeing you tomorrow.

A full day. And after I wore a bright yellow shirt while I did my dancing workout and then the sun came out. I am so excited. The challenge to day is to do a stream of consiousness. That is an exercise that everyone can do to see what we they are streaming throught their brain and out into the world. You know your thoughts do move out into the world and create a path. What some people say is things are going to happen to you and the difference is you can deal with them unconsciously or consciously. I choose the last. I am examining what I hear in my head, where it came from. It is usually a story I made up. A judgment I have or a label I give an action or sensation. Think about it. Creating a world with love and peace and safety goes right along with this blog. Have a good experince in you own mind.

What if you get tired of doing something? We all may get tired of going to work sometimes. We may hate doint the laundry again. We may have started a project and it is taking way longer than the original idea. What if you were tired of doing your spiritual practice. I think we get tired of almost everything at sometime or another. In the Buddist tradition you do it anyway. With respect for simply taking the time and effort to maybe sit and quiet the mind. An awareness. You can be aware of the tiredness that you are feeling. The tiredness of doing things over and over or whatever you may be experiencing. Even if it is emotions, even Big emotions. can be the subject of your focus in your meditation. It kind of takes the buzz out of it.
This challenge is to take whatever is in you life right now and quiet your mind and actually see this outside of yourself in front of you like a big screen. Maybe things get stuck in your head. There really is only the brain in there. The thoughts can be outside of yourself like the stars in the sky. The tired is a sensation and we put a label on it. Anger, maybe we are tense and need to exercise but we think we ares STRESSED, or Angry. Think about the sensations and how we label them Oh, that is pain. OH NO I am going to cramp up. The we do. It is just a thought. Just like eveything else in our life. It is all labels, thoughts, taught objects. We were told it was a table. Have fun. I feel better all ready.

The challenge today is to be a warrior. Not a warrior of anger or false power. But a warrior of love and compassion. I was reading that warriors need to have a broken heart so they can understand and give the empathy and love that is required to make a difference. The wounds make our art, our stories, or songs, or movements. The broken heart allow it to breathe and move through the pain that will make you stronger and the warrior of creation that you have always craved. The emptiness is gone. The Power is on. Go for it Warrior. Remeber the Peaceful Warrior, now that is what I am talking about.

Happy Valentines day everyone. I know I enjoyed my day just telling everyone to have a great day. I worked and people were getting gift cards and were getting ready to go out on dates. That was fun. A big storm is hitting and sometimes a storm brings up stormy feelings.
This is the challenge of the day is to take a look at weather and or seasons and how does that effect you emotionally? Of course that translates into creativity. Sometimes, winter brings some darkness and some darker creations. Then when spring comes we really get new ideas. Just like the springing up of the bulbs. How great is that. New ideas, New projects. Love it.
Have a good one.

I just realized I hadn't written my blog for the day, so I am listening to the grammys and writing for all of my awesome creators. I will make this short as I have had a long day and am having a little trouble focusing on what I need to. Or what I think I need to focus on.
Hence the challenge for the day, not focus, but the grammys. If you were a musician or a singer, songwriter. What would your image be? Create the musical you. What would you wear and what kind of music would you sing? Be outrageous, like Lady Gaga. I am already thinking about my way out there ideas. Fun to think outside of the box. Maybe you are a singer that sings for dogs. Who knows, let us try something NEW!!!!!

It almost the love day. IT is my friends birthday tomorrow. I need to make sure I get in touch with her. She is one of my friends from my rock n roll background. We were rock sisters. We had birthdays together while my bands would play in large arenas in Seattle. What fun We met in the bathroom and had the same necklaces on. The fairy ones from the 70's and now they have come back. We were the fairy girls.
She supported my creativity for years. She has been living quite far away and haven't had a chance to see her in years. I think I get busy.
The challenge for this Saturday is to think of a friend that you may need to get in touch with. Maybe someone that supported your creativity or just a great friend that you keep thinking about but haven't seen for a while. This is reaching out and it will give your heart a big boost.
What would be more apropriate (spelling) for valentines day.

02-11-11

Almost Valentines day. Have you done anything for that holiday? Have you created anything for your lover? That is the challenge for today. A safe place to Create means creating loving gifts from you creative side. Last year I cut a heart out of metal in welding class and put it on wood with red netting sticking out iside the heart for my lover. That is my hubby. It isn't too late to make special desserts, a special dinner, a pillow, a card, whatever you can think of to create. Hope you have some great ideas and some great results. Here's to you!!!

This has been a long day but a very productive day and I am still going. Less food more energy. Now I know why those people like the living style of hardly any calories. I finished my children's book. I am so excited. I started to judge the drawings then after I copied them with the words it actually looked OK. I did put myself through much more work than I really needed too. I stapled it together and it had extra pages from the printer and I also bound it. The I looked through it and found the blank pages. So I learned a lesson. Check it out before you staple and bind it. HA! I made much more work for myself.
That would be the challenge for the day. Have you ever either been in hurry or didn't check something and gave yourself more work than you needed? Well, if you haven't be careful and check things out. That is my advise for the day. Take it easy and have a good nights sleep.

02-09-11

I had a day off. It was filled with many little projects that need to be done, maybe needed to be done for a year or so. Little piles that develop out of not really seeing. I know by my bed, books started piling up. Papers started piling up. Yes, I am a clutter monster some times. I have filled a goodwill bag, and hopefully I can fill a few more. I really haven't cleared out many things since I have gotten back from LA three years ago. A good way to make yourself work is to pull everything out of, say a closet, and put it on the floor. Then you have to pick it up. Well, you don't have too, but it gets me very motivated. Goodwill here we go. I may take everything out of one of my closets tonight just to get motivated.
Your challenge today is to take one pile of mail, of clothes, of books, or something that has been there and it may be clogging your creativity. It could be just dust, or bills that aren't paid. Take a good look and do one thing and then notice how you feel. I think I will just go ahead and do some more organizing and getting rid of stuff. How about you?

Oh MY!!! What a wonderful day to be alive. Because it may be the only moment that we truly have. May not even make it throught the day. I think I may look like an idiot today. What is that about. It is about age. I looked in the mirror of what I have on and I may be dressing way younger than I am. I wonder why I do that. I love dressing like this and I haven't found another way to dress that is comfortable for me. I think that that will have to be the challenge today.
That would be do you think about the way you dress? OK. Do you care? Do you not care? Do you have an image that you are looking for? This is a very creative question. Because everyday we have a chance to look another way or to try out different looks. I am doing my hair different today. Mainly because it is dirty and I don't have time to wash and dry it and write songs, and blog, and work on my children's book and take the dog out for walks. What ever. I am having a blast doing it all. Be in the moment and be in life. That means life is prosperous and very beautiful if you just look around.

02-06-11

A whole weekend of meditation and finding out that we are not our thoughts. How great is that? That is what I got out of it anyway. And now to do the practice it is a whole new community that I have entered. There are many little communities out there. Like runners, joggers, weight lifters, quilters, writers, couch potatoes. Spiritual communities, intellectual, opera, rock and on and on and on.
The challenge for you today is to take a look at all of the different communities that you may belong too. Maybe you need to add one or maybe you need to rid yourselves of some.
Take a look at that. Thanks........l i n d a

Sunday's challenge. To take time to simply become aware. I was in a meditation event today and it was about non-meditation. Simply awareness. I think I talked about Monkey mind last night. So this awareness helps you control the Monkey Mind. Who is the boss anyway? Now that is the question. Have a great Sunday and see you on Monday.

Friday, February 4, 2011

02-04-11

This is Saturdays blog, just in case I don't have time to get it done in the morning. Have a good one.
The challenge today is to see if you can undercover the basic good in you and stop the monkey mind. I will write more about this later when I have more time.

02-04-11

The challenge for today is to see if you can keep your own energy. I am working on that every day.
I am feeling better and better with loving myself, through food, exercise and thoughts. Getting ready for my birthday. Coming this month. But who knows what sign I am any more. HA>
Have a great day. The next few days may be really short blogs as I am doing a Buddist retreat while Cooper and hubby bond. Have a good one.

02-03-11

I am gonna talk about boys and girls. The difference in how they approach things. One thing about boy dogs is they like to mark their territory and that is not fun fo us. Maybe grown up boys do that also just in a different way. Woman usually look at instructions and many men don't. That is simply my expereience, not any judgement at all, only observations. It is quite curious. Boys, I have had it. Girls rule. Boys drool.
Thank you for this beautiful day and the challenge is to ask yourself how you feel about boys and girls and the differences.......theres many. Have a great day and it isn't a day to put in a faucet.

Wednesday, February 2, 2011

02-02-11

The challenge today is to take a look at your eating habits. I have been eating less and trying to change from dairy, too much coffee, food that may be more acidic. I am feeling much better. My mind is clearer and I have more energy.
Happiness can be something that is altered by food also. Just take a look. Is sugar your friend? I don't think so. That is a simple question with any of your food. Is this your friend? Have a healthy day and happy day.

Breathe, that is the challenge. Then breathe deeper. Then go deeper. Let the stale out and the new in. Breathe in life and Breathe out illness. Breathe in love and Breathe out fear. Do this all day, all week. All your life.

01-31-11

This is the last day of the month, I am on a mission. A mission of making a few changes before my birthday. It all starts in the head. Last night in my dreamland, I was guided and given a workshop that lasted all night. Meaning it was just all in my head, but it was very meaningful. I got great input and I woke up and wrote it down. There were some old thoughts that I really didn't want to hang on to and these are the things I can give myself for my birthday that is coming up.
The challenge for you is to ask yourself, what would you give yourself for your birthday? Something that maybe you don't have to buy!!! Maybe a workout, a nap, good thoughts.

Sunday, January 30, 2011

01-30-11

Another beautiful day. I am excited to start my birthday month tomorrow. I always like to get a headstart as this is the last day of the month I will givemyself a present of love and acceptance and checking out new thoughts and new plans and new vibrations for my body.
I am getting arthritis or something in my hands and I need to do some things to try and stop that before it gets worse and maybe can't even play my guitar.
The challenge today is to take a look and ask yourself what if your body wouldn't allow you to create the way you create right now? Would you find new things to create or fall victim? Just spend some time on those thoughts today. Love to all this Sunday.

It looks like I have this day done 2 times. Oh, well. Today is a beautiful day. Little Cooper was having a great morning then all of a sudden he is not feeling so good. Don't know? For the focus of creative day, I don't know what to say. I guess I will get to friends. How are your relationships with your friends going? I have a couple friends that are kind of missing. I don't know what is going on with them. The challenge is to look at your friends and is there someone you really need to get a call out too. Then are your friends involved in your creativity or are they simply friends. Nothing wrong with friends of all kind. Have a great day and stay in love and not fear.

Wow!!! This is so awsome, I have been so busy todya that it seems like midnight right now. Do we have enough energy and time to do what we want? That is the challenge question today. I mean I have many many hours of TV or doing nothing and then all of a sudden I don't have enough time to get enough sleep. Or to get home to take care of the dog. Just the layed back feeling. Well, I do get to sleep in tomorrow and I love dreamland as you know. So Thank You! I am very very very very very grateful. Now if my hormones will just let me sleep.

Thursday, January 27, 2011

01-27-11

The challenge today is to totally live soft and in love, not contracted and tight. Which would be coming from fear. The other thing for today is to really look at things like it was the first time. Since you are looking with love, don't let the fear or negative thoughts enter your creative path.
Good luck. I am enjoying this day because of this. I am life loving, not life fearing. How about you?

Wednesday, January 26, 2011

01-26-11

I need to get inspired today for this lovely blog. I had the weirdest dream last night. Well, I had many dreams last night. I was in dreamland. One thing I would like to share was.

I walk around in this maze of myself!
Each corner a mirror.
I am so afraid!
And I look again and it is only me I see.
Truly.
How do I know this.
It is by touch, by feel,
By others life force running through them.
And as I connect my energy to them and allow
We become one, we are one, so this is all I can see!

I was doing some energy on my hubby's shoulders and this above message came to me and Ihad to get up and write it down.

Another dream where I woke up crying was, my first love (who has passed) came to me and he was with another, and I wanted to go with them, as a group was moving by foot. I was totally stuck, and I realized "I have nowhere to go" And then I started crying. I was and have been stuck in this one spot of energy where I am so afraid to move I have no where to go. I woke up very scared and actually crying. Then I had to get up again and write this down. Then I saw me going over a ridge with many people and it was beautiful and open and color everywhere and I was one with all the people and the universe. And the best part I was moving. I wasn't afraid and I wasn't stuck. WELCOME TO MY WORLD. Some of the other images I won't even go into. They may be a syfi novel.

Again the challenge is on your subconscious, or your dream world. Is it vivid? Does it effect your real life? Mine definately seems too. The stuck energy was defintely something I have wanted to see for a very very long time and was brought to me from a loved one. I love it when he comes to me in my dreams. I wanted to just crawl inside him and not have a life. Maybe there is where I got stuck. What do you think? Love to all today. Take a look at yourself in everyone. You are there. Even the people you think you can't stand to be around. Just look.

01-25-11

I have to admit I loved dreamland this morning and didn't want it to stop. But I had a date with my hubby, a lunch date, so I had to get up. Really great lunch, but then I got so so tired. Oh well. Creation. Yes, a safe place to create. What have I created lately. Well, I have created some new communication in my many parts. My self talk has changed. Maybe that is because I am a different zodiac sign. HA< now that is the news around the world huh? My hubby didn't know but we talked to the waitress and she is the new sign. Our son is the new sign also. Wow, I wonder what this has to do with all the books written, all the charts that have been made. Sometimes things change. How do you feel about change? This is the challenge. Sometimes I crave change, other times I hate it. I dread it. I can honestly say I am very afraid of it. How about you?

APPRECIATION!! I have had very many sleepless nights, stressful thoughts of fear and no future. What is that all about. I am wondering if my age and hormones have something to do with it. I had no sign of hope, no sign or feeling of love. That is in the middle of the night. Then I wake up and have love and hope. Tonight I really have to give up the fear and go to the love. Because there can't be both at the same time. I choose love.
I am real and that sometimes isn't as fun as other things may be.
The challenge for you today is how real are you? Reality is only in your thoughts. Really, if you think things are bad or you live in fear you have those thoughts. Love and finding the love isn't always easy. I am thankful for today, I am thankful for the sun, I am thankful for the work that I got to do today. Thank you, and have a great evening and a GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP.

Why would I love to watch Hoarders? I think I have written in my blog about this before. Well, I am watching it again. Nothing else on TV and I guess I am hooked on TV too. Now with the dog and all of the dog stuff and doors in weird places I feel like I am living in way more clutter.
Is there any thing wrong with not doing nothing? I am asking that as the challenge today. Take a look at that. I am putting everything off until tomorrow. I didn't sleep much last night so today I am burnt out. Sang at church and that was good. Well, off to dinner and then more TV.

Nothing like collaberation. A work day for a new workshop that I am going to lead or help lead. It is on weight loss. But weight isn't there because of food as much as the compulsion or emotions that you want to push down. Or emotions you may want to eat.
The challenge today is collaberation and how that works for you? Or does ego get in the way, or you would rather be with someone and get more work done. Sometimes it is simply the person you are working with. Cuz your energy goes together well. That was my experience. Have a great evening with loved ones.

Oh my gosh the challenge for today is can you actually take care of yourself and not go to a class or a meeting that you feel very important? This morning I needed sleep not driving to town again. I am so tired of driving way into town. I am so tired of the dark weather and then it was a full moon. I needed to spend time with Cooper also, and that is what I did. I did go to work, but not the class. Company tonight and creative work tomorrow.

It was an exciting morning. I was looking for publishers for my childrens books and saw that there was something at my Center for Spiritual Living with others that want to get published. I think I was the only one with childrens words. Mine has the drawings too.
And I wanted to get my blog put into a book too. Just many ideas coming out of those 2 hours this month and I will go again next month.
The challenge for you is to see if there is something you have been wanting to explore. Write them down and see if you can find something that your can do to get the support you need. Maybe you start a blog, maybe you chat on line, maybe you find a class. Maybe a library or community center has something that is even free. Try it. Write it down and guess what, I asked and one just popped up.

01-29-11

I think this is really close to a full moon as all things are shaping up or not. Communication and thoughts are running a little wild in many friends that I talk with. That being said, let us look at the challenge for the day. I want to make sure it is what I am challenged with and that is... "Sometimes I have to talk to people at certain times, because of work and such and that isn't a time that is the best time to be in the moment." The challenge being, I am feeling very frustrated and or tired, or simply not in the mood and I have to do it anyway. It isn't a flowing, meaningful conversation, it is hard, doesn't satisfy anyone, not so loving and so my challenge is why even do it.
Oh, my gosh. Isn't that the story, isn't that the reality that we give ourselves. What if we said I am calling you with love but it isn't a very positive time to talk with me. I love that. And so it is.

I have to admit going to the dentist is not one of my favorite places to go. My body reacts before I can even give it a chance. My upper body started shaking and my hands were shaking while they were giving me my shots, and my heart was going crazy. The dentist had to stop and said she would come back after I was a little numb. Well, for me it takes 2 times as many drugs to do anything to me. Emergency wards have found that out, and all my dentists.
Bottom line was I had to connect, with something bigger than myself because I was out of control and it wasn't even my mind at this point. It was body memory.
The challenge for you is to look at your life and see what things makes your body react and you don't even really have the thought first. This was very powerful for me. They left me alone for a while and I made a commitment to connect to something that could take me to the beach. And I went to the beach in many places with this presence that I am quite aware of. Tears came out of my eyes and I made it. I still am very very numb. No not dumb, numb. My body knows something that I don't have thoughts about. I made it. So can you. Ask for help.

First of all I want to confirm something that I was working on yesterday.
Remembering Well-Being is the basis for my world which allows the flow for wellness, energy, abundance, ease, freedom and clarity. This can go along with the art of allowing.
Now the challenge today is to become this goodness, this wellness and then being a teacher by living it. I am going to change my vibration today to go with the wellness.

01-16-11

Been in conversation all day about what is going on in our world and what is going on in our minds. I have been having some very confusing and negative emotions and thoughts. My friend called and she was having the same thing. Hubby, the same. So is there something in the air. Or are our tides disrupting the flow. But we came to the conclusion that money and the thoughts about money are really at the basis of many of our fears. The other conclusion was to support others. I mean really, instead of judging everyone, why not be curious and/or loving.
The challenge for today is to take a look at how you deal with things currently? Can you live in love and not fear? Can you not judge others? Can you find a person to have a conversation about the goodness in the world? Can you look at yourself and say do I believe that there is goodness int he world or you believe people are angry, or evil or what do you think?

Saturday, January 15, 2011

01-15-10

Saturday. I actually remember what I did last Saturday. Hubby and I went to Costco and saw some great friends that work 5 days a week. We usually go to Costco during the week. Today was kind of a weird day as I got up and got ready for work and then at the last minute I checked my schedule and I don't work till late. So now I have all day and the evening will be taken up with work. It was OK with me. Just changed things more for my hubby.
The challenge today I have is to not have a challenge. Knowing that everything is just as it should be and relax. Enjoy.

What kind of moods have you been having? I don't know if it is the weather or what, but I have been very angry, hateful and definately not grateful. I felt so bad that when I woke up this morning at around 4:00 I couldn't sleep and had a horrible morning today. I was wondering if I was being effected by things or energys outside myself. I called and asked friends if they were having a bad day. Even Cooper had a very bad day. I vowed to have better days. I vowed to stay in spirit and not in the human aspect.
The challenge for you is ask yourself, what realm do you live in? Do you live in the realm of goodness behind every corner, or judgment and self doubt. They say what you resists, persists. Then I need to let go of more stuff. Actually being more grateful can help. Yesterday I hated many things. I don't usually use the word Hate. But I did. I don't think that was really the case. But I do have some physical aspects that may have something to do with the mental.
Be of spirit, in the flesh. Trusting that you are in the right place at the right time always for your best. Wow!!!

My challenge for you today is to do a walking meditation, or a written meditation. I am going to do a written one right now. In this moment I can know that I am one with a intelligence that heals my wounds. This presence can heal my inner wounds as well. As I open my heart on this very dark rainy day I can allow myself in with love, caring and nurturing. A warm place to sit and feel loved, to know that all is well, that all is good. That right now I don't need to worry about anything. I can trust this presence to take care of me as I open to taking care of myself. This day will grow into the perfect actions, perfect interactions and comments with everyone. I will trust as the day unfolds. I am grateful for these thoughts and this day whether it be sunny or rainy. Thank you. I needed that.....

Yes, here we are again. A safe place to be, should I change the name of my blot? Should I take the 365 blogs of last year and make a book out of it for the challenges that I gave you everyday?
I am in a class about financial freedom and how money is never the issue it is about how you are in life. Many things have been coming up for me around freedom.
The challenge for today is to do something you always do and do it in a new way. Like even getting dressed, or preparing your food, or the way you put on your makeup. Just do something very simple different. Be aware of how that makes you feel? Do you have to really work hard to do something different? Now I have to figure out what I will do differently. Have a great great day.

I love the date. And I will make this short and sweet. The challenge is to see if you are a person that may go along with others ways or are you always on the other end of the idea? I heard myself in two different situations with friends and spouse giving the other side of the idea. Is this always wanting to be right or just illuminating another position. Well, th way it went this evening was I was really just illuminating other options and not being judgmental in anyway. I loved this feeling. I didn't have a knot in my stomach and I didnt' feel defensive or have the other persons apparent feelings of defensiveness enter into the conversation. It was the absoluteness of being grounded and sharing myself without the dreadful ego thoughts. I thank my practice, I thank my friends for their practice, I thank my family for their insights. Now, that is a grand experience, to thank people that may be so close you can't eve hear their insights. That is what I am so grateful today. What insights I may see as judgements, are grateful insights from loved ones. And I grow and expand from allowing that into my life. And I thank God for that because without knowing the experinece of being conneceted to something as simple as breath to all that lives and all that will ever live, makes all the difference on this planet. And I know you know what I am talking aobut.

The challenge for you and me today is to have a couple deadlines. I have a childrens color book from one of my songs that I want done. Soon. So I said by the end of this week. The words are all done, I just have to draw the pictures for the book and print it. Create a cover and take it to the center and see if they will put it in their book store. I want to publish a couple books this year. I don't know how to do that. I know that I have talked about this before on my blog. OK well I am sending this oudt withour any authority and that is a challenge that I will have to take up in another blog. I am mad, upset, pissed and mad. So Ther I have some emotions to deal with and I have to do that physically. Meaning I have to hit my mattress. Whatever, I don't hit people but aI do need to do the physical activity. Sometimes it is hitting with a tennis racket or pillow. Blank you. Is an issue right now. I am sorry for being human!!~!!!

Sunday, the day of rest. Do you sometimes rest too much? That is the challenge today, to take a look at your makeup. I like to go to bed and sleep, some people I know can't sleep and have to move move move. This is in defence of feelings I think. It is not wanting to deal with something. It could be an emotion, a situation or circumstances that you may not want to deal with. There are different body types that I believe makes a difference in the sleep or move kind of person. I know in some stressful situations I cleaned for days. So maybe you are one way some times and one way another. I have had it both ways. My puppy is kind of lathargic today too. Maybe energy touches other energies. I know it does. Keep up a focus of a new way, a new year, a new way. There is goodness always, even if it is hidden in the chaos. Pardon the spelling and grammer today, as I am a little distracted.

Like when I cook sometimes (tonight) I am telling how I create this delicious, walnut, garlic, lemon, parmeson crusted talopia, with lemon angel hair pasta and roasted asparagus. Yes it sounds incredable, huh? And it is. I do cook good. Who knew? And I like it. YEAH!!!!!! Making the bed. Cleaning the toilet, come on let us be creative as we do out outward work that we have to do daily.

Practice is the word of the day. The thought of the day. I am challenging you today to see if you work at new things? Do you like to practice and take classes to learn more about your interests. I realized that I don't want to practice every day at anything. I never have. If you did practice what would that do? I could do anything I set my mind to do. I have meditated for over 20 years. I did my blog for obver 385 days yet I don't see me as things I practice. So I will take a look at that. take care...

I have been moving some stuck energy. The energy are stuck thoughts. Do you believe that? That is the challenge for you today is to ask yourself if you think your thoughts have anything to do with your health, your energy, any symptoms that you may have. Moving energy in my body is usually stuck energy that is stuck around a thought or a belief that you think is the truth. The hundreath monkey effect, has been proven to work. The quantim physics on water or plants that have been thought on. Some bad thoughts some good and what the difference is in the outcome. Thinking we aren't good enough, or we aren't making enough out of ourselves etc. Can lead to neck aches, etc. Money worries can tie you right up. Spouce, mothers, children, fathers, all have the capacity of paralysing us. Only in our thoughts though. You hear of the POW's that never allow their thoughts to go to the dark side. Well, in our everydays lives we have the same power. May the force be with you today to collapse any fears or beliefs that you may think others are imposing on you. Allow a new space for the goodness that is around every corner. "a space to be you".

Hard time sleeping last night. I was having weird dreams and writing a childrens story. The other thing that came to me was the name of this blog. "a safe place to create". I thought that what this blog was all about but at 1:37am I got the message of what I really wanted was, "a safe place to be". To be the person I was meant to be by the bigger picture not the small me. The challenge for me today is to stay focused and take care of myself with lack of sleep even though I have to go to work. Good to have hubby babysit puppy. Way to go. Maybe I will write more later but I hope you got lots of sleep and are ready for a big day.

I have been cleaning and working today getting caught up. Boy I still need to get rid of more stuff. More clothes etc. Get more organized. I think we all get a little bug around the first of the year. My creativity may be clogged up with clutter. Since I got the dog I have more piles, cuz he can't go in every room and I don't get to clean up in those rooms. Excuses, excuses.
The challenge for you today is to ask yourself what you are feeling this new year? Are you doing the same or doing things a little differently. I am looking at doing even more things different. I need to make up some deadlines and give them to my friends and have that something they can bring up to me. What are you feeling? I just said that earlier and during this writing I have had uncovered some feelings I didn't know was there. A few tears fell. For what reason I don't even know. Let us live these days in allowing us to move from moment to moment and to feel moment to moment. Create moment to moment. I created a very full stomach that makes me tired. HA!

Yes, the third day of the year and I do have to say I did many new things. Things that I have wanted to do for at least a year I did on my way to work today. I stopped at a random design studio that I have admired from afar and actually thought about trying to work there. I don't have the creditials but why not go in and just talk to the people. I loved it. Then I did turn my resume into a teaching studio. They don't have acting teachers I don't think. So I would be an asset. Then I had a dream about producing a cooking show locally. So I stopped at a great store that has a kitchen in it and got the information. I may approach them with an idea to get people into the store. A competition locally for people that love to cook. I don't know. I just have to go with the visions and dreams that I have. I have ideas and was to fearful to ask questions that I didn't think were appropriate. Well, get over it. I really want to do some different things this year. Maybe produce, publish, etc. More creating.
The challenge to you is to challenge yourself this year. Talk to people you usually wouldn't, do things you wanted to do but didn't. You know what we aren't on this planet forever. I want to listen things that are given me in my dreams or anyway I can get it. I will take all that is given me. Thank you. I am grateful. Happy New Year!!
