~Source Card Centering and Creating Energy for Me~

Creating healing from Source Energy


Every day I have a chance to heal myself from painful beliefs I have chosen along my path. Every present moment there is a "present" of awareness awaiting me. So, as moments turn into hours and hours into days...if I haven't practiced the tools I have acquired...I'm stubbling along again. In Soul Collage, there is the opportunity to sit with the images and allow all those moments of unawareness that have been layering up the missteps and confusion to melt into a new card.



For me my Source of Inspiration Card begins my practice...centering me onto the path that leads my soul to express it's current theme. For my soul to express it's pain, it's belief and become a bit more healed.



Today is a good day, full of quiet and rest. I requested it of the Universe, I insisted on it personally, and I have recieved what I have needed. Source Card, you are faucet of pure energy coming straight into my bowl, filling me up with liquid sparks.

Going Gray

I am going through an identity period of my life...sick of coloring my
hair, sick of some of the old beliefs I carry around...and ready to
blaze a new path to my mid-fifties.

Gonna take some pics and share the journey. Get out of the way
of my old ego that wants me to believe I look younger and
prettier if I hide my true color. Let's just show the world that
it's amazing to be 50 and Gray...I will still be beautiful and
sexy if I believe I am beautiful and sexy.

Pictures are forthcoming.

A Day of Volunteerism

So, today I set up the huge easel with paper/implements of color, all ready for the Boeing Volunteers children to come in from the field... hot and ready to share some of their nature experience.
As I facilitated the shy ones, who couldn't remember something from the field that they would like to draw,
and couldn't imagine why they would want to...I remembered myself at that age. Unsure, afraid to get it wrong, and self conscienous.

There was a little boy, he signed his name...Dylan, and shyly said to his Dad and
to me, "What should I draw?"...Neither his father nor myself intended to give him an answer to that question, well actually his Dad almost gave the boy a solution but caught himself. As other children around him were freely scribbling pretty images of this or that, without too much reserve or fear..he looked up and saw his own answer. He reached for the brilliantly colored photographic images I had placed up high enough to be "not too" manipulative but still available. He chose one and was so excited visually by the colors his entire demeanor changed. He became very serious about shape, form, and began to lay out his design...just like an draftsman. This little boy designed 2 beautiful, well thought out and executed drawings that he spent 45 minutes on. They are amazing~!!

He has NO IDEA that he already possesses skills and aptitude, and I believe he will realize them at some point and use them in some form of creating in the future.  Because I believe we are all creators in some way,
I know those gifts are his to live out. We all copy, design, reassemble and make our individual stamp on the outcome of our lives. It is our ART to be alive and to create from our Souls, and every Soul is different and nurtured by the unique qualities IT craves.

It is my joy and passion to mould my reactions and responses to these young creators, so that it is THEIR way and THEIR SOULS Seeking, that I facilitate...not my ideas or my goals. It won't be everyone to expresses ART by drawing images....or moulding clay or using their visual qualities. Not everyone will express themselves in song, or movement or cooking, or....? Yet, Everyone creates their own beauty and their own grace, their own friendships and their own way to love. We are all truly Artists of our Lives...we are all Creators...and how Cool is That?

So...From that place of freedom and "everything is right and nothing is wrong" place, today, the children led me to a creation I didn't expect...and it was perfect and timely. We created "Snail Houses" and "the fantasy" story that goes with it is unfolding and "the reality" story is funny. I sense a "Children's Nature learning and Creative activity book" on the horizon~

Peace and Be Well with Nature,

Hold the Soul

Dreams are the container of the soul.




That is, they are the Holding Place of God.



So dream big, yes, because the bigger you dream



the more of God you let in!

Save the Turtles habitat, Heal the Sea

All of the sea turtles that venture into Gulf waters have already suffered because of commercial fishing and habitat loss. Endangered Kemp's ridleys, which are nesting on beaches in Mexico and Texas, have washed up by the dozens dead along Gulf beaches since the April 20 Deepwater Horizon rig explosion that has gushed up to 130 million gallons of oil into the sea.

“The consolation, the dignity, the joy of life are that discouragements and lapses, depressions and darknesses, come to one only as one stands without -— I mean without the luminous paradise of art. As soon as I really re-enter it -— cross the loved threshold -— stand in the high chamber, and the gardens divine —- the whole realm widens out again before me and around me —- the air of life fills my lungs —- the light of achievement flushes over all the place, and I believe, I see, I do.”

That was a quote from Henry James, renowned author and inspiration to me...
It spoke to me of a place to go inside of myself that creates the art, the peace, the love
and the healing.
I know as an artist, a person of healing, and one who is being healed, that believing in the whole realm that widens out before me and around me, is my personal choice to believe that the divine garden, the high chamber is "with in" me... This I know for sure...for me~! So, I say to you,  Go into the high place and seek that love threshold and know that your life is your art...you are the artist, gifted to this life and God is there as your power, sharing
strength to find the peace and joy within the dark parts.

Love to us all~ RM
