Seek Joy

2/22/2014

Seek joy in the smallest of things today, the littlest of indicators of happiness. See if you can find joy in the smile of someone you dont know, or in the way the sunlight is hitting the tree outside your window. Be open to joy where it is and where you already are!

Ritu Ghatourey

This is perhaps my favorite little painting that I did this month. It really does bring joy to my heart! It also makes me want to take action to pursue more joy for myself and others.

I'm in the midst of sharing a series of little paintings I've created. I've titled the series "February Defrost." I'm trying to get my creativity flowing and inspire folks just like you while I'm at it. All of the original pieces are for sale in my etsy shop. Please share with anyone you think may be interested.

Brave and Strong

2/21/2014

Dear Brave Heart,

I hope today, regardless of your life circumstances, you are feeling brave and strong. If you feel a lack of courage or strength, I'm trusting that you will care for yourself in a way that replenishes those essential components for a fully embraced live.

Just Be

Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.

Guillaume Apollinaire

The "Just Be" part of life often eludes me. I'm very goal driven and focused on what I "should be" doing, and then I miss out on the just being part of life.

Let's make a pact today that we will find joy and beauty in just being in our life--even if it just lasts a few minutes or hours.

Becoming

2/19/2014

We are becoming every single moment of every day. We may be becoming stale and stagnant, or we may be becoming vibrant and alive. This is determined by the seeds that we allow to be planted in our hearts and lives.

It's so easy to go with more of the same, but it takes much more time to nurture our internal lives and gardens to get new life. It takes lots of energy and effort to see where the new growth is going to take root and how much it should spread.

The real question is
Are we active or passive participants in our own life today?

Brave heart, I'm sending you the courage to be active in your life today, and I hope you will harvest the rewards that accompany the effort!

Bloom

2/17/2014

Today with it's single degree temperatures seems like a great time to think hopeful thoughts for Spring.

Sending you wonderful thoughts of Spring and love.

May my soul bloom in love for all existence.

Take Flight

2/16/2014

“When you come to the edge of all that you know, you must believe one of two things: either there will be ground to stand on, or you will be given wings to fly.”
― O.R. Melling, The Summer King

May you find the courage you need today.
May you find either firm ground
or wings that are stronger and more powerful
than you've ever imagined.

Peace

2/15/2014

Peace is simultaneously illusive and accessible. What a paradox!

Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one.

Imperfect Love

2/14/2014

Sending you loads of love, brave heart!

You are so precious and dear, and the gifts you give to the world just show how much love you have to share. Thank you.

This little painting is a really interesting little reminder to me. There is this fabulously large glob of pink paint on the left side of the main heart. Each time I look at it I'm reminded of the beauty in the fact that love is truly imperfect. The more we seek perfection the less love we have, and conversely, the more love we have, the less perfection is there. {The Skin Horse from The Velveteen Rabbit, just came to mind, as an example.}

Wishing you a beautifully messy and imperfect Valentine's Day and weekend!

Enjoy Life

2/13/2014

It's a bit ironic that I picked this piece to share on this date, because this is one of the most difficult, just stick your head down and you will make it through sort of days.

Do you ever have days like that?

If you do, please know, brave heart, that this will pass, and you will enjoy life on the other side. {Sometimes knowing there will be joy on the other side is what we need to make it through.}
