Wishcasting Wednesday.. How do you wish to be Brave..

Sometimes i like to take Jamies thought provokers out with me to focus on throughout the day....i do have a 'braveness' to how i'm feeling at the moment.It is a little stress induced and i am a little more expressive than i usually am so this weeks wishcasting is allowing me to acknowle that this is a brave place for me to be for as it means facing the fears of.. and the actual consequences of being authentic.. and expressing my self about many things....perhaps the consquences are not as horrible as i fear...anyway i am taking this braveness with me today and i'll complete my post tonight....'I wish to be brave enough to simply be me and express myself in the way i choose'.

P.M. authentic....mmm difficult when you share your perspective you leave yourself wide open emotionally..but not everything that follows always hurts...today i learnt it was o.k to express an opinion to express a balanced perspective...i have to maintian focus on this for tomorrow is a day this is needed.

Truly truly scrumptious...........

Wishcasting Wednesday..How do you Wish to Sparkle

On my way home from work(on time today!) i felt sad ...i dooo feel sad sometimes and today i felt a little sad.I turned my radio up a little and thought to myself ooohh i'm so looking forward to getting home, walking tonight with my chel and tapping into Jamie's wishcasting community and i felt a little sparkle! A little flame ignited as i left behind my working day ...anyway now for how i might be able to sparkle! I can conjour up some 'glimmer' but it is going to be hard to sparkle!I'm content with a little glimmer and i think i am a little afraid about trying to hard to sparkle.....to feel i can sparkle is going to take time.... I kind of like watching others sparkle and have always felt that that is my purpose in life to watch others sparkle but for me it is more an inner sunshine than a sparkle but i've had to think about this a little more!I'm re examining this in The Artists Way Workshops i'm doing...but am just having to sit with it for a while...after all enabling and enjoying the light of others is what i'm conditioned to do! So here i will start with a few things to nurture my glimmer into a sparkle perhaps...

I'll notice and enjoy compliments..Chella often pays me them.

I will smile inside and out...not forcing myself to use words just a smile.

I'll let go of those thoughtless words, and the energy that comes with them,they spill out of others mouths so easily sometimes...it is about them not me.

I will be conscious of surrounding myself with a little buffer against the energy of strong personalities and opinions when i need to.

I feel comfortable allowing my inner child to sparkle... i love her soooo much so i will let her play with glitter in her arting and be excited alonside her and revel in her favourite pass times!

Wishcasting Wednesday

Jamie ask What do you wish for the world ?

I wish healing for the world and to heal the world there are a whole host of wishes for things that i feel would help heal this world... these simple things are at top of my list..
Forgiveness,Fairness, Equity, Love and support, dialogue between nations,sharing of wealth,relief from poverty,kindness, time to listen,negotiate, work in partnership to find solutions,protection for the vulnerable,respecting of nature, improvements to the health and wellbeing of all kind....
I then feel as if i would like a list of things i'd like to see humankind doing less of ! but i am going to stay with the what i would like to see in the world and really put it out there as positive energy into the universe.....the world is beautiful and everything in it really matters! I wish to live my life embracing principles that might help heal this world.

'Be the change you want to see in the world'

music i used to craft to.........

Oh i'd almost forgotten about my love of Einaudi...isn't it synchronicity in itself when 'someone' in 'some moment' reminds you of something you found sooo enjoyable...the link for this website was on my other blogspot from the summer of last year when i found it so i'm refreshing it here and will be able to play it to art to mmmmmmmmmmm
My having a favourite album 'i giorni' was all down to lovely Sheila...she had she such an impact on my life it was sooo long ago now but I thank her also.

Change ....

I listened to all sorts of music last night around 'change' i had a handfull of favouries by Sam Cooke ,Lauryn hill and an lovely video depicting the gals from sugar babes changing through the seasons (so colourful and it definatley inspired me to draw and create some journal pages...)However, this one is the one that resonates with me the most...
TAW asked for an Artists Prayer and so i put together this............
During this journey I will balance both enthusiasm and calmness, nurturing both a sense of inner peace and honouring the spark that ingnites my creativity..I will also honour nature and the seasons for they furnish ife with never ending inspiration and they are both precious and powerful.Whilst nurturing myself and others I will keep close to me the sense of childhood wonder and imagination.My inner child is my friend and she awakens the 'sunshine within my heart' and my desire to art. Love is non-tangible and is the only thing that is really real.. i express it, and my truth through my art, i can choose to be playful with the ideas and concepts i am attracted to..Arting is my relief from the 'fallout' of everyday life.To create and recreate is my craft,it offers endless possibilities in my life..it makes space for hope, love, integrity and allows me to express my authentic self.
