the art of letting go


 Ways to let go and trust God

loosen your grip

drop it

walk away

give it up

accept the answer

say goodbye

disconnect

turn away

What to let go of

bad emotions

bad people

criticism of self and others

things that don't work

things you don't need

things that take up space

things that don't fit you, or your life,

right to be right or right to  have an answer

finding perfect

fear of failure

This is my year to Let Go - praciticing letting go, and do it.

Spring and my muse is back

 been a very uncreative time for me this winter. Covid blues perhaps,back pain issues or sadness over the events in the news. Art is my healer so I did some😁, I just got out paint and went for it. Took a few weeks but feeling more creative as spring arrives. 

Used a "Kees Van Dogen" as inspiration. In my journal. Felt wonderful to paint. I think I will continue to be inspired by the famous artist I adore.

Perspectives and possibliites

find the possibilities in the perspective- you are brave, you can make it.
find the small thing, the good thing, the miracle in life. Hold on to that and stop looking around at the big stuff. Use the viewfinder of love and hope. You are amazing, the world around us is a miracle, wake up and be you.



some days make no sense, they can only be meant to help you grow, learn and
 continue in the Light of the Lord who never leaves us or forsakes us. Things look better in the morning light of fresh days ahead. 



                                                     LIVE  EVERY DAY WITH INTENTION
 


New journal pages 2021

JOY
Could it be possible that a new year is here. Pondering what to say, feel like I must weigh the feeling of intention I want to express. JOY is the word. Whether or not this year brings an end to all of the clatter of 2020, I will find joy or it will find me. 

Courage to see the year begin to unfold in all its colorful pieces, collage expressions I will Make it. I will make art and will make it through this year with courage and beauty. Creating,loving,listening,caring and sometimes hangin by a thread of faith



 this is my verse. Always always always looking for the Lord to guide. Even when I look back He lifts my eyes to the one who makes all things good again. Hopeful and peaceful .

2021- new year ahead

 


The Bluebird is the universally acknowledged sign of happiness, joy, prosperity, as well as good health and the arrival of spring. The beautiful blue of its plumage is connected with the sky, as well as with eternal happiness. 
 



With a new year well on its way it is time to make some decisions for my new journal. I am going to use an altered old 2019 calendar desk appt book. So far I have started and stopped and ripped it out three times. I think I feel this year needs a good first page to launch in the right direction. AS IF that will do anything! So I think I will start with the phrase "just be "  My word for this year is joy and my animal for this year seems to be the blue bird- Each time I see one it brings me joy. I intend to spend more time in nature this year and just be. In my spiritual life I am reading "beloved mess" by Kimm Crandall  - my challenge is to accept that Gods Grace in Christ covers all of my flaws and there is nothing that will separate me from his love. 



Heading in to spring

 It has been a very mild winter here on the island, and I have taken advantage of the cool weather in the mornings to head out for my walk. ...
