i heart knitting

i have a cold :(
i have been staying very close to home, drinking lots of tea and smoothies, napping, taking long aromatherapy baths (aromatherapy is my favourite medicine) and watching documentaries about mythology and knitting.

knitting. i heart knitting. i knit all the time. i knit at work, at home, at starbucks, during meetings, at karoke and all through the sunday services at the centre for conscious living. i don’t knit because i’m bored and don’t want to pay attention to what is happening around me. i knit because knitting is a way to slip into the present moment. it’s soothing and meditative.

i also do sure love the beautiful things that come of it. {read the full article}

creating dreams come true creative adventure will be starting next month.

so i’ve been thinking about starting, and more specifically about preparing to start.

those first few steps into a new dream can be pretty scary.  there is no path and you can’t be sure you are moving in the right direction, or that you will be stepping onto solid ground.   on the other hand, the first few steps can be the most exciting steps, too.  you’re stepping into your dream!  how cool is that? read the full article

i fill my day with blessings: affirmative meditation

i heart

by abccreativity on December 8, 2009

i have been doing affirmative meditations with a lovely woman who is healing her body of cancer.  first, i created a specific affirmative meditation for her to support her in focusing her commitment to healing and to feeling good, and in building her faith and her knowing that she can heal herself.

at this point, she is absolutely committed to her healing and her medical tests are showing wonderful healing results already.
fill your day with blessings!

by abccreativity on December 7, 2009

there are parts of me that are hidden, that i want to keep hidden.  the parts that feel not good enough.  too messy, too ugly, too wrong.  i never learned how to love and accept these parts, and i never wanted to.

about ugly art journal pages

ugly art journal pages

by abccreativity on November 26, 2009

sometimes an ugly art journal page is the best art journal page.

life gets messy and downright ugly at times.  using an art journal as a tool for self-discovery, for healing, for growth, means looking at the messy parts and the ugly parts and giving them much needed space to express.  {read the full article}
