I set my intention to create a piece about Inspiration. I think inspiration comes directly from the heart and somehow it always helps me be and stay healthy. Take for example this 30 in 30 project: I have had a lot of added work time and stress in my life and had to forgo thingsContinue reading “Daily Painting #21: Elements”

I am going to create a beautiful day – even though sometimes I have to force myself to do that, because I’d much rather complain all day – it still seems to work…

I know I sleep a lot better when I am not worried, but I often times forget that there is a simple way to sidestep that worry. Handing my problems over to the infinite consciousness allows me to slow down and breathe, and often times puts those problems into a different perspective.

I thought for years that I don’t belong to any place and it made me sad. Then, I found myself “home-less” for a short while and realized it doesn’t matter where I am. I am in the right place wherever I am. At first it was a strange feeling not having a connection to aContinue reading “Daily Painting #18: Right Place”

When I expect something difficult to happen, I set myself up for failure. Today I am going on my first ever “business” trip and I challenge myself to have a great attitude about it.

I could have used this at work today… But then I realized that getting upset about something really is based on fear. Once I figure out what I am afraid of, I can take steps to remedy the situation.

I made this piece in a visual journaling workshop this weekend, and I love it so much I want to share it. I love how lose and free it is, yet also defined. I love the story it tells. I mostly have shied away from circles, but I am realizing more and more what aContinue reading “Daily Painting #15: Circle of Women”

I had a ton of fun this weekend in a visual journaling workshop and am super excited and inspired. And I know I have a busy week at work ahead of me. But tonight I will not think of either. I will be here with myself in the moment, so that my body can getContinue reading “Daily Painting #14: Rest”

Having come down with a stomach bug, it’s easy to just curl up in bed in pity. But this is the time to remind myself that I do not need to accept any substitutes for what I want. It helps my will to get better and be well.

I am looking to rediscover myself. I feel the need to go past all the layers of how I am at work and in social situations and relationships and find myself. Discover what I will do or say if little or no “have to’s” are present. Since I haven’t said it before, I thought IContinue reading “Daily Painting #12: Discovery”

While I accept and welcome good stuff in my life, I recently realized that I don’t think of it as a normal state in my life. I kind of imagine myself floating along average, and every once in a while a good thing shows up. I think it would be in my power and interestContinue reading “Daily Painting #11: Good”

Have you ever called situations into your life you thought would be exactly what you wanted, but then it turned out that some of the details weren’t what you envisioned? Like wanting a break from work, and getting the flu. Well, I read that by using this phrase you avoid such unwanted scenarios: Everything happensContinue reading “Daily Painting #9: The Right Way”
