I had all the intention in the world of writing yesterday, b.u.t was hit with an epiphany so hard, that it completely consumed the rest of my day. That's a good thing. :) Sometimes we realize our calling in life and want to manifest it into reality, however obstacles such as the shitty ECONOMY make it difficult and even for some like me, almost impossible. If it were just me and fending for myself and say a couple of fish, then it would be more of an attainable goal, b.u.t as a mother that sacrifice always has to benefit the needs of your babies over your wants...
I love art....love visual art. I've never had any classes and can't draw still life to save my own, however I've found my own style of design and want to create wearable art that is lacking in the market. A few years ago I sold prints, which I will most likely do again, b.u.t I want to be out in public in the streets of Brooklyn and see my designs on the People. I want to awaken the 85% of the population who still consider liquor, chicken wings and other 'lower vibration' ways and actions a part of their daily routine.
On the evening of Day Four and yesterday I've written out a plan to get that started, and even designs had started flooding into my mind. It was what I have been needing to do. My mind would always overflow with words, visions and conversations constantly (I'm a Gemini), that I could never clear it out for even just a second. It's exhausting... After my blog post on Day Four I did make it to the grocery store and purchased lots of organic oranges, plums, pears, celery, berries and even found some organic mint. I'm going to try a watermelon/raspberry/mint combo for lunch. This morning, probably just my usual green smoothie blend b.u.t with arugula this time. I wonder how that tastes.... ::elevation::
Oh girl!
ReplyDeleteYou have cleared out some of your blockages with Raw and now your creative energy is flowing! I can so relate to wanting to burn up that energy!
I am a designer myself. I have been for over 25 years. I make jewelry (even been fortunate enough to be published in magazines and books).. and I teach. I also sell gemstones.
One of the reasons I got into Raw was to clear out some creative blocks. I also believe in the metaphysical properties of gemstones and crystals... If you can get a strand of kyanite and or any kind of tourmaline you will NOT believe what comes to you. It's pretty powerful!
Keep a notepad by your bed. I find that as I am just falling asleep or just waking I am connected the most with my higher self and I get ideas and visions and have to sketch them to let them go.. or my mind NEVER stops sometimes. It's like I have a muse in my brain. Someone else talking to me.
I would love to know what you are working on whenever you are ready to share.
Check out my life's work if you ever get a chance!

I am 46 years old so I have had some time to WORK. I am actually able not to work from home. I quit my career as a comvention and party planner, two years ago. It's taken me about 10 years to get to where I am. I do lots of commission work now on top of selling in my online stores.. plus I had a ebay store for many years that I sold from that I recently closed because Etsy is taking off..

ReplyDeleteThis is some of the last stuff I put up a few years ago on Deviantart:

I'm going to invest in the materials I need to make my own shirts, and jewelry (more natural pieces) and I love to crochet as well.
I have some crystals as well, and need to buy more but I don't recall where I bought them from online. I LOVE cleansing them in the ocean though. Peace Cary! xoxoxo
