Well Hello All!
Yes I finally made it back from what feels like the other side of the world...can you get jet lag without leaving the country?
Where oh, where have I been...? Getting an education...yes...in Life and Business...and WOW...what lessons I've learned...
There IS enough time in the day....
Most of humanity IS good at Heart....
Opening and running a Business IS perpetual learning on the fly...no matter how much you think you know....
Family IS the most important thing...and time with them IS time well spent...
Sometimes you just HAVE to step away...
Stepping away DOES help to gain a fresh perspective....
Creativity IS a Refuge of Self Expression....
FREEDOM IS Worth Fighting for...personal or otherwise....
This is just a few of the many things I've learned recently...or more accurately...re-learned or maybe just reminded...and I am thankful for every lesson...
I'm reminded everyday that Life is a Journey...an Adventure...a Learning experience...and a Creative process...all the things I love...
So I've been studying...very closely...and I've been creating...and at times I step away...I've left a whole other life behind me...and step into this one...Free...and...Happy! My Joy is not for sale....
Some books I recommend are:
The Queen Maker
Eat, Pray, Love
Rumi
Walt Whitman
Alice In Wonderland
All We Ever Wanted Was Everything
Drawing From the Right Side of the Brain
My Music Recommendations:
Tito Fuentes
Celia Cruz
Yellow Brick Road (Elton John album...yes I said album...I'm sure you can find it on CD)
Ry Cooder
Billie Holiday
Aretha Franklin
Jewel (her Christmas CD is Excellent too...)
Erykah Badu
I will be putting Music on my Blog as soon as I figure out how to do that...(for any newcomers, I'm allergic to technology...it's a wrestling match...but eventually I win...)
This is what I've been creating...and somethings I've been "Re-Creating"....givin' it a little face-lift...
Some Costuming ...for a Dinner Theatre.....
and...Hostess Costumes for my Etsy... www.resurrectionvintage.etsy.com
You might recognize this image from a previous post...this has been re-worked a little...it looked unfinished to me...so I left it hanging for awhile...until the images to add to it began to materialize...
This is an up close photograph of the same image..."Hope IS"...Hope for me is not a wish...but a promise...the Promise...IS...what you Hope for...Believe...Believe...Believe...
The Book (by BOBUNNY) that was inspired by Barbara Call's book, "The Crafter's Devotional...
