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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

05-07-11

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.

05-06-11

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.

05-04-11

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.
