Happy Holiday!

Yea, the holiday are finally here and I want to wish everyone Peace, Joy, Love and Happiness!!! Have a wonderful time and may everyone feel the love and magic of the season. A smile is the beginning of Peace. ~ Mother Teresa

Just Love....

A couple weeks ago I was taking notes while reading "A Return to Love" by Marianne Williamson and this is what I wrote down. The world changes when we change. The world softens when we soften. The world loves us when we choose to love the world. Surrender and just love. Love, love, love, love, love, love yourself.

The Imagination Game

Sometimes life seems hard. But life is also a game and if you know the rules, you can win. I am reading a book "The Magician's Way" by William Whitecloud and it is magical. To win in life, you play the imagination game. You just imagine what you want. There isn't anything in life you can't do if you imagine it first. Choose your own reality.

If you are going to take a test, first imagine you knowing all the answers and getting an A. Just by focusing on the end result and not fighting the fact that you don't want to study will give you the power to control your attitude. By changing your attitude and changing what you focus on, you will end up with an entirely different end result - the one you want to have - an A. Life doesn't have to be hard, it can be easy if you imagine it to be. Play the game.
Live the life you have imagined. ~ Henry David Thoreau

Check it out!

Believe in Faith

I am still reading A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson and loved it when she talks about Faith. To trust in the force that moves the universe is faith. Faith isn't blind, it's visionary. Faith is believing that the universe is on our side, and that the universe knows what it's doing. Faith is a psychological awareness of an unfolding force for good, constantly at work in all dimensions. Our attempts to direct this force only interferes with it. Our willingness to relax into it allows it to work on our behalf. Without faith, we're frantically trying to control what it is not our business to control, and fix what it is not in our power to fix. What we're trying to control is much better off without us, and what we're trying to fix can't be fixed by us anyway. Without faith, we're wasting time. ~ Marianne Williamson

A Return to Love

I have been reading "A Return to Love" by Marianne Williamson and now have been infatuated with Love. I love love. I also love it when she said "Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we learned here. The Spiritual journey is the relinquishment, or unlearning, of fear and the acceptance of love back into our hearts. Love is the essential existential fact. It is our ultimate reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life."

If you're hung up on nostalgia, pretend today is yesterday and just go out and have one hell of a time. ~ Art Buchwald

This Time I Dance!

I love the book "This Time I Dance!" by Tama J. Kieves. It is so inspirational to create and be an artist. I love when she says "But this much I know: every genuine tear contains magic healing properties. And "Take the tiniest step you can imagine toward your dream and you're back on track. Even five minutes can wheel destiny around." To me, this book is a sign that I'm on the right track and quitting my job was the best thing I can do to live a creative magical life. Thank you Ulana for passing it on to me. :-)
Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you. ~ Maori Proverb

You Got Mail!

Well when I feel a little tired or non motivated the movie - You Got Mail with Meg Ryan & Tom Hanks always makes me feel better. I had no energy today and decided to lump and watch the movie and now I feel so much better and lighter and happier and all from watching You Got Mail. I don't know what magic that movie has but it works for me every time. Thank you Meg & Tom, you Rock!!
The elevator to success is out of order. You'll have to use the stairs......one step at a time. ~ Joe Girard.

Pug Pumpkin

I love Pugs and I really love this Pug Pumpkin!! Thank you Karen for showing it to me, you Rock!! I think I might buy it and carve a pug into my pumpkin. Yeah!!

Peace Sign with hands!

I love this picture!!! It is brilliant and wonderful. It was a bumber sticker that I got off of facebook. But I wonder, whose picture is this? Who photographed it cause I would like to thank them. If they made it into a greeting card, I would buy it. Well, whoever thought of the idea, thanks for the smile everytime I look at it. :-)

Rafael at My Tiny Studio Rocks!

I was visiting my sister a couple days ago and she gave me 2 very cool art pieces from Rafael at My Tiny Studio. I love them!!!!! I am very into Crows and the Crow Painting is wonderful! I also love the very cool faces on the other piece. I am addicted to twirling it to the happy face and then the sad face. The detail and energy in both are amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you Rafael!! Your the best artist in the world and you Rock!!

Daily Soul Vitamin - Hope

I have been thinking about Hope a lot lately. Maybe I am subliminally giving hope to myself. I hope so. :-) When you are kind to someone in trouble, you hope they'll remember and be kind to someone else. And it'll become like a wildfire. ~ Whoopi Goldberg

I like these quotes

I came across these 2 quotes today and it really felt good to read them and feel their meaning.

Remember, the entrance door to the sanctuary is inside you. ~Rumi

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere. ~ Agnes Repplier

Happy Birthday to my Twin!

Harvey the Gnome is here!

I'd like to welcome Harvey the Gnome! I am very fond of Gnomes and Harvey is supercool. I'd like to thank Michelle over at her blog My life on the XYZ List for letting him visit. Just like the butterfly, I too will awaken in my own time. ~ Deborah Chaskin

Change

I've been thinking about Change a lot lately. If you walk into a room and it smells, you want it to change. So sometimes we don't resist change, we welcome it. But other times we resist it and don't realize until we are very tense and stressed that we were afraid of the change. It's weird how we want change on our terms only when we decide it has to change. But if it's not our decision, we are stressed. Weird. Take the first step in faith, you don't have to see the whole staircase just take the first step. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

It's the little things...

I heard it a million times but never really understood the saying "It's the little things in life that really matters." But for some reason a smile, a kind gesture, finding a Peace Rock, someone holding a door for you all make a difference in your day. I understand it now because I remember the little things more than any big event in my life. Someone told me they liked my hair cut last week and I am still smiling from it. I am now truly glad that I am under 5 feet tall and considered little because I would like to think that some how I am making a difference. "I can live for two months on a good compliment." ~ Mark Twain

Happy Easter!

I hope everyone had a Happy Easter!! I had a great week. I was carded for buying a lottery ticket and I had the day off today to paint and have fun. Oh what a magical week. One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself. ~ Leonardo da Vinci

Peace Rocks

I just got the inspiration to spread Rocks with the Peace sign on them. It brings me joy to put them where people can find them. I would like to spread Peace one Rock at a time. I would like to eventually put a million Peace Rocks all over the world. I know it will take years but it will be so much fun. Check out my blog that I have to keep track of the Peace Rocks - www.sasa-peace-rocks.blogspot.com.

Fox sign

I saw a fox twice today. So I decided to look up what it means in the Ted Andrews Animal-Speak book. Fox - Feminine Magic of camouflage, shapshifting and invisibility. The camouflage technique it has helps to capture any prize. As you develop attunement to the fox and learn it's magic, any prize can fall to you.

I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose. ~ Woody Allen

Happy Birthday Vinny!!

Today is Vincent Van Gogh's Birthday! He is one of my favorite artist and I absolutely love the Sunflowers he painted. Van Gogh said, "Conscience is a man's compass." Thank you for your beautiful paintings.

Reiki II

I took my Reiki II class today. It was an awesome experience and am very grateful for the opportunity to learn it. Thank you Lizzie for your wonderful hospitality. I look forward to a creative adventure with you.

It's A New World! Aquarian Equinox

A New Venus cycle begins on March 27th just after the Spring Equinox. The New Venus brings new love, new artistry, a new creation. Venus also rules money. The economic order will be reformed properly following this New Venus. Those in the good graces of Venus will be in the right place at the right time to make the right connections to receive what is needed. Yoga, tai chi and other forms of body culture help release muscle tensions to allow more connection wit the goddess of abundance. This evening will be one of the most magical of the year.

Have a Miraculous Day!

I was reading The Power of Intention by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer and loved what he said about overcoming obstacles.

Good Morning,

This is God.

I will be handling

All of your

Problems today.

I will not need

Your help, so have

A miraculous day.

Love Quote

Any time that is not spent on love is wasted. ~ Tasso

Happy Birthday Nathan!!

Yea!! Today is Nate the Great's Birthday. He is a very lucky 9 year old. Also I would like to wish everyone a Happy St. Patricks Day! St. Patrick's Day is an enchanted time - a day to begin transforming winter's dreams into summer's magic. ~ Adrienne Cook

Great Quote

My astrology teacher said this in class and thought it made a lot of sense. "Be who you are, where you are, with what you are given."

Thoughts on 2012

My sister sent me this quote about 2012 and thought it was great. "I think that by 2012 you will have people that are enlightened (open, honest, caring, loving, united to the divine) and those that still seek humanity's lower natures (suffering, misery, hate, separation from the divine) but at least the scale may be tipping more toward enlightened."
Hermes Trismegistus

Ginger Tea

Ginger helps soothe & cleanse the respiratory tract, making it a valuable tea during cold and flu season. Grate 1 heaping teaspoon of an unpeeled ginger root into a cup of hot water. Let the tea steep for 2 minutes. Strain or let the ginger settle to the bottom of the cup. It's my favorite way to stay healthy and clear headed in the winter.

The Power of Fair Trade

I have been learning about Fair Trade and what it means and it makes perfect sense. Fair Trade is a profitable working partnership between farmers, suppliers and consumers built upon concern for people. The environment also benefits from Fair Trade. I am going to buy as many Fair Trade products as possible. To learn more about Fair Trade and all the products available, go to www.transfairusa.org.

Puppy Bowl

I love Superbowl Sunday and not because of Football but because of the Puppy Bowl! What an exciting game watching the puppies run, play and tackle. It is the Fifth PuppyBowl and my 3rd year watching it. I love seeing the pug and all the mixes. My favorite this year is a cool mix breed named Candy-corn. Thank you Animal Planet for the wonderful show.
